Britain love for curry and beer is undeniable and Chicken curry features as its #1 favourite.<\/p>\n

So, to celebrate 19th National Curry Week 2016<\/b> ( 10-16th October ) , Kingfisher Beer has teamed up with Tyga and sent me a crate of Kingfisher Beer<\/a>\u00a0 and a Tyga Indian Meal kit <\/a> to cook a delicious Indian meal at home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Tyga Meal kit box is a very interesting thing. It comes with spices in little pots, tailor-made for the recipe.<\/p>\n

Every month the spice box has a different menu. This is what my spice box contained<\/p>\n

\"20161009-p1170492\" \"20161009-p1170488\"<\/p>\n

The box has the spice mix , tomato paste and even garlic oil and curry leaves neatly laid out for each recipe.<\/p>\n

\"20161009-p1170487\"<\/p>\n

It also has recipe cards for each recipe in detail.<\/p>\n

I tried the Cumin potatoes first, and believe it or not, an 8 year old could make it, under supervision of course.<\/p>\n

All you had to do was slice the potatoes thinly and use salt and oil for cooking . All the spices were there in the box.<\/p>\n

\"20161009-p1170493\"<\/p>\n

\"20161009-p1170494\"<\/p>\n

So you simply heated the oil in a pan, added in the spices from the box, added in the potatoes and salt and stir fried it for 15-20 minutes. That’s it!<\/p>\n

Check out how beautifully the Cumin potatoes have come out. Just like my mom would’ve made them. I was quite impressed. Many people can get a simple thing like Cumin potatoes, so so wrong. They add far too much coriander powder i it. But this mixture, created by Chef Shahin from Tyga, is really good.<\/p>\n

\"20161009-p1170504\" \"20161009-p1170502\"<\/p>\n

I tried each and every recipe in the Tyga Box and it was perfect.<\/p>\n

Check it out<\/p>\n

Mushroom Bhaji:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"20161011-p1170530\" \"20161011-p1170533\"<\/p>\n

Lamb Dhansaak<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"20161012-p1170546\"<\/p>\n

Chicken Chettinad<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"20161012-p1170551\"<\/p>\n

Here’s the fab Indian meal that we had. I was delicious. The flavours were well rounded. Most of the spice boxes that you get do not have balanced flavours, but Tyga has got it right!<\/p>\n

We really loved the Chettinad Chicken and the Cumin potatoes, they are superlative. The Lamb Dhansaak and Mushroom bhaji are also really very tasty.<\/p>\n

\"20161012-p1170555\"<\/p>\n

What I really liked about the Tyga spice boxes is that there is no wastage. They are perfect for curry lovers, who want the joy of cooking a curry in their own home without the hassle of loading their cupboards with tons of spices which they would never otherwise use. Otherwise, a simple recipe like this would’ve needed you to buy packets of turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder and cumin seeds , while more complicated recipes would’ve needed Kasuri methi, Kashmiri chilli powder, garam masala , ginger- garlic pastes and so on and so forth. The list is unending.<\/p>\n

Tyga gives you the joy of cooking complex Indian meals in your home very easily. You just need to buy the fresh ingredients.<\/p>\n

So if you want a hassle-free Indian meal cooked at home, without much effort, try Tyga.<\/p>\n

It is effortless.<\/p>\n
