Spice Pots – Curry Spice Kit Review
PR Sample – Spice Pots sent a couple of their products including the Curry Spice Kit for consideration on my blog.
Do you love all things curry, are you interested in using spices more in your food? Then Spice Pots might be a company you are interested in knowing more about.
Now I’ll be honest, I can’t cook, I was banned a long time ago, due to my issues with touching hot things and being forgetful. So this review was one I handed over to my Mum. She is a good cook and was interested to take on the task of trying out new curry ideas.
Who are Spice Pots?
Spice Pots was launched in 2014, and was established with the idea of allowing people to create consistently delicious curries and Indian-inspired food at home, with the use of perfectly blended spices. However, it had been back in 1993 when travelling and working in India the idea had first formed by founder Melanie.
Today Melanie believes in quick, simple recipe ideas for people who lead a busy life. As such all the recipes are simple to follow and use easy-to-find ingredients. In fact, many offer swap-out options and can easily be made using even frozen vegetables.
With a wide range of recipes for all courses of a meal, on offer, you might just be stuck for choice on where to start.
Curry Spice Kit with 80 Easy Curry Recipes
My Mum tried out the Curry Spice Kit, which contains 4 pots alongside a 150-page recipe book. Inside, you will find 80 recipe ideas, ranging from starters to desserts.
The Curry Spice Kit includes 4 of the 5 spice pots on offer:
- Bhaun.
- Korma.
- Goan.
- Tandoori Masala.
Missing out just the sweet mixed spice blend, which is used mainly for desserts.
What Did She Think?
My parents normally have a homemade curry once a week and I’ve previously heard my Mum wonder about new ideas. So it was of little surprise to me that she was happy to try out this kit.
Over the past few weeks, she has been trying out different recipes from the included guide. She said these were easy to follow and she liked the fact there was often a note about items you could miss out, or substitute, alongside illustrations and chefs’ tips. One thing she particularly made note of to me was the fact that you could use fresh or frozen vegetables. As this showed how easily these recipes could be made without the need for a huge range of fresh items to be kept in stock at all times.
Both of my parents found the meals to be tasty to eat and had offered up different ways to use the spices they perhaps hadn’t thought of before. (I’m so sad I wasn’t invited around to try the salmon dish!)
My Mum also felt that this would make a great gift idea as well as something to use yourself.
As such, the Spice Pots Curry Spice Kit with 80 Easy Curry Recipes was a huge hit in their house and they are looking forward to trying out more ideas from the booklet.
If you fancy trying the Curry Spice Kit with 80 Easy Curry Recipes for yourself it comes in at £24.95. While they also sell smaller and larger kits and pots on their own.
What do you think of the sound of this kit, is it something you would like to try?

……………………………………………………………………………………….
I’d love to try the Luxury Indian a spice gift set because I’ve started using so many spices in everything just to change up the flavours. Sometimes it works (mainly with scrambled eggs) sometimes it really doesn’t but my mouth is lovely all the changes
The Tandoori Masala Mushroom, Pea and Spinach Curry sounds absolutely delicious. This would be a perfect meal for me and the other half. I would have a job convincing the kids though!
I would love to try the Curry Spice Kit with 80 Easy Curry Recipes, we all love curry, the recipes would also be very welcome, love trying new things.
I’d love to try the Spice Pots Tandoori Prawns, I love prawns, but have never had them tandoori style, so would love to give them a try
Love the sound of the Luxury Indian Spice Gift Set
I’d like to try the Luxury Indian Spice Gift Set because I’m not terribly adventurous cooking curries and this would inspire me to try some new recipes and hopefully they’d be as good as my local restaurant
Love any and all curries. One of the delights of curry is it isn’t one thing, but there are a large number of different dishes from different parts of India so I would like to try all the Spice Pots on offer.
Tandoori Masala Spice Pots as this is my faourite if we eat out at an Indian restaurant
I would like to try the Spice Gift Set so I could throw out all my stale powders and start afresh,
Slow Cooker Chicken Curry Recipe
I like the sound of the Slow Cooker Chicken Curry Recipe as it could cook while I am at work!
their Luxury Indian Spice Gift Set as it would give me lots of inspiration to try various recipes and expand upon the limited knowledge I have of making them!
I would like the spice kit with 80 easy recipes as I am not adventurous with my cooking, I tend to play it safe with tried and trusted dishes. My fav curry is chickpea korma curry
I love making curries but I’m a bit stuck in a rut with what I make so I think the easy Curry Night kit with 8 curry recipes would give me some variety
I would like to try the Goan pork curry. I have tried some goan soup flavours in the past and found them to be really tasty, and I love pork, so this has to be the one for me. I’m hungry already now!
I would like to try making the Tandoori Masala Spiced Chicken Skewers, have never been able to get the right flavour without the ability to cook in a tandoori oven
Tandoori Masalla yum yum for me!
It looks like a great way to improve your curry night skills.
I’m always cooking the same curries which is Butter Chicken and Korma. Would love to learn how to cook a Bhuna. I guess with me, I’m just really bad at layering the spices in curries which I heard is the most important thing. In fact, I just don’t get it, haha. I don’t think my palette is as refined as everyone else’s. But if all the spices are made for you then it would make it a lot easier. Plus my husband hates me buying spices and rarely using it again because it just sits there in the kitchen
We know the style of Indian meals we like so the Tandoori Masala Spice Blend and
Goan Blend refills with the recipe book and then see what happens.
We love our Indian dishes so are always looking at alternatives like this
