Here at Experience Henley HQ, we’re all up for road testing local products and businesses and letting you know what we think, so we thought that we’d give Swaadish Curry Sauces a try out.

Everyone loves a takeaway curry right and for those that don an apron every now and then there is a real satisfaction in rolling up your sleeves and making a curry from scratch. Dry frying the spices, making the paste, nurturing the pan from start to finish to end up with an amazing fresh flavoured dish packed with punch and spices nuances.

So what do you if you don’t want to reach for your wallet for a take out or pretend to be Madhur Jaffrey but still get a great tasting curry. We would highly reccommend getting yourself a jar or two of Swaadish Curry Sauces. Made down the road in Moulsford the sauces are made in small batches with natural ingredients and honestly, they couldn’t be easier to use.

Just pop the lid and pour the sauce in a pan with about a half jar of water with whatever meat or veg you fancy in your curry. We chose to try Great Taste Award winner Kalonji Curry (Kalonji are Nigella Seeds) and to make it with chicken. You then bring up to the boil and simmer until cooked. That’s it. Simple as that. Honest!

The smell in the kitchen is fabulous, you would have thought that you had been cooking the curry for hours. Just add some accompaniments of rice and naan and you’re sorted. All sauces have a ‘two chilli’ rating, so not blow your head off hot. We tried the Coconut Curry as well, also with chicken and threw in some frozen spinach. It really is that easy to cook with.

The sauces get a thumbs up from us, for being super tasty, super easy and for being super local. Plus knowing that the sauces are made in small batches that help keep those home cooked craft curry flavours.
