Origin Story

Punjab is a state in north India that, due to its fertile land and advanced irrigation systems, is referred to as ‘the breadbasket of India’ or ‘the land of milk and honey’. The name of the state has Persian origins and derives from the words for ‘five waters’, referring to the five rivers that run through the larger region surrounding Punjab. The climate is subtropical, and, in the summer, temperatures reach the high 30°s. All this has led to the state having a big agricultural sector that produces bountiful supplies of grains, pulses, fruits, vegetables and other produce.

With its abundance of agricultural ingredients, Punjab is home to an eclectic palette of flavours that form a bold, rich and distinctive cuisine.

This kit is a proud tribute to Punjabi food and makes a versatile sauce that can be used as the base for a large variety of different dishes. Be adventurous with the ingredients you add and, for a dinner worthy of Punjab, serve with naans or roti to mop up the sauce.

Information

Cooking Instructions

Cut your chosen protein or vegetables into generous pieces.

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a small pan, add spices and cook for 20 seconds.
Add the protein or vegetables and brown lightly (if using fish or seafood, hold back and add this along with the main sauce in step 3). Add the base sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the main sauce and simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until the protein or veg is cooked through.

Serves 2-3 with naans, rice or parathas.

As appliances may vary, these are guidelines only.

Please ensure food is fully cooked and piping hot throughout before serving.

If you don’t like whole spices, grind these in a pestle and mortar and add them with the main sauce in step 3 (before final simmer). Alternatively, if left whole, remove them with a spoon before serving.

Tailor to taste

Perfect with fish, chicken, prawns, lamb, paneer, vegetables or egg.

Use these handy tips to customise your dish:

Use whole, skinned chicken joints for a truly deep chicken flavour – or add a good chicken stock and cook for 30-35 minutes.
If you have time, marinate the meat in the base sauce for an hour to allow the flavours to permeate.
For extra richness, finish with a little cream or cashew nut paste.
Finish with a handful of freshly chopped coriander.
