Curry recipe kits from Wish.co.ukThose nice people over at Wish.co.uk have given me two 3-month Curry Kit subscriptions to give away as prizes.

Here’s what you have to do to win – simply make a comment on this blog posting saying why you’d like to win the prize, and Richard or Laura from Wish will come along and select their two favourites and award the prizes.

The competition is open to anyone, but the prize can only be posted to mainland Britain. The closing date is two weeks from now, 2359 GMT on Monday 19 November 2012.

The Prize

What you can win is a three-month subscription for a curry kit. Each month you receive, through your letterbox, recipes and accompanying packets of ready weighed spices. (You can see my posting about this product here.) The recipes are simple to make and require minimal equipment, skills and ingredients to complete. All serve four unless stated otherwise. No more trying to cook a curry and finding out too late you’re missing a vital ingredient. You don’t have to go and hunt for strange ingredients, or even have to measure out anything. It’s all done for you and just arrives through your letterbox each month. Nothing could be easier!

Here’s a list of a few of the recipes covered by the monthly Curry Kit:

  • Butter chicken with kachumber salad
  • Moghul chicken korma
  • Parsi lamb dhansak
  • King prawn Madras
  • Lamb balti
  • Malay beef rendang
  • Chicken jalfrezi
  • Sri Lankan coconut curry
  • Moghul rose petal lamb curry
  • Thai massaman beef curry
  • Trinidad beef curry
  • Goan chicken xacutti

Maybe you don’t like to cook, or maybe you don’t live in the UK? It’s not a problem. It’ll be Christmas soon and what nicer gift could you give to the curry lover in your life? All you have to do is to comment below and tell us why you’d like to win this prize or why you think you deserve to win! Have fun and good luck!

    Hi, long time no see, must have been the exotic aromas that brought me back lol

    The reason Id like to win is that Ive been in the bad books at home recently and a few carefully crafted meals might be just whats needed to curry favour and warm the cockles of her heart. 🙂

  2. craig

    Wofor you want to give me dis? I don’ mind payin’ if it taste like home cookin!

    Anybody tell you Trinidadian is very bad man, but always cook good goat curry.

    No problem as long as you knew the goat …

  3. Not Delia

    Thanks for your comment, Craig. LOL! Perhaps I should point out that goats are not included in the curry kits. The product is designed to go through a normal-sized letterbox. 😀

    I’d like to win because after living off ready meals for most of my life, I only recently started cooking from scratch and discovered I really enjoy it! I’m still a bit rusty (my omelettes could be used by an F1 team as tyres for a no stop strategy!) but its great fun.

    This curry kit sounds like it would be great because I’d be cooking fresh meals yet still following instructions – perfect for me.

  5. Not Delia

    Thanks for entering the competition. Surely your omelettes can’t be that bad! If they really are, then hang around on Not Delia – you might learn something. On the other hand you might not, as I’m not very keen on following recipes myself.

  6. Emmyw @ Kitchen Goddess (in training!)

    This is a fab idea! I love cooking curries but now that I’ve moved back with the parents I find it hard to find what I need in their rather dated spice rack! Maybe with a little preview of what the curry kit subscription has to offer I can convince them to have curry back on the menu as a staple! (I must’ve eaten curry twice a week when I was a student hahaha I am having withdrawals!)

  7. Not Delia

    Hi Emmy, thanks for your comment. I had a look at your blog. Very nice! But the pumpkin cake pop guys of yours look seriously weird. I like them!

    Gee, I know what you mean about parents and the older generation being a bit dated with their ideas about spices. Mine used to think that garlic was a bit ooh la la. And I once met a man who thought that parsnips were an exotic vegetable. (This is a very good observation from me, given that I’m an old crone myself.)

    Good luck in the competition. (It’s not me who gets to choose the winners.)

  8. Adam

    Curry kits are my curry saviour. I feel like I’ve cooked properly but don’tneed to ensure I’ve got a selection of spices in! And I’ve been on a diet for ages… I need a treat!!

  9. Not Delia

    Don’t worry, Adam. If you don’t go on a diet, there’s even more of you to hug.

    Seriously, does anyone like measuring out bits and bobs of spices instead of getting them all ready measured for you?

  10. Tony Mason

    I’d like to win because there is nothing like cooking a curry from scratch, and your kitchen and hopefully living room starting to smell like a good Indian restaurant, with the coriander, ginger, cumin and turmeric all starting to waft in. What better antidote to the crap weather we are all going to be experiencing in the UK over the next six months than a hot, heart warming freshly prepared jalfrezi.

  11. Not Delia

    Hi Tony, thanks for your comment. Jafrezi, yum. I’m rather partial to a prawn bhuna myself, but I like just about any kind of curry.

    At first I thought that these curry kits were for Indian-style curries, but they do curries from all around the world.

  12. mike

    I’ve just got in from a 12 hour shift on a tattie harvester, here in the far north of Scotland, where the best tatties are produced.
    I’m dead on my feet, but I know in my heart that these tatties will help to feed a nation, and provide magnificent chips to accompany fish suppers and deep fried Mars Bars throughout the north of Scotland.
    Right now, I’m fed up seeing tatties. I really need a sleep, or a wee dram, or best of all, a curry kit.

  13. Not Delia

    Hi Mike, good luck with the tatties. A curry kit could be right up your street! A change is sometimes as good as a rest.

  14. Andrea

    My culinary skills are rather rusty
    Spice jars in cupboards very dusty
    Think the contents must be stale
    need consigning to the rubbish pail.

    I need inspiration in a hurry,
    Madras or Malaysian Coconut Curry?
    Time to get my tastebuds fit
    Need a prepared spicy kit

    PS Should I be a lucky winner, please come and join me for your dinner

  15. Not Delia

    Hi Andrea, thanks for entering the competition. I love your poem – and I’m already anticipating what a great curry dinner you’d make. If you win I wish I could be there.

  16. Karen

    Would love to win this and can vouch for the fantastic tasting curries you’ll make as I bought a subscription a couple of years ago. They are great for me – as a Coeliac I can’t eat gluten and its always a risk when I buy a takeaway but this way I know exactly what I’m eating. The spices are so fresh as well – makes me hungry just thinking about it……..

  17. Lucy Pasifull

    Back in the day when my Dad was a student he had a bet that he could eat nothing but curry for a month. He won his bet and now I feel it is time to recreate this and make it a family tradition. With this prize nothing would stop this happening!

  18. amelia avossa

    Id love to spice up christmas this year 😉
    Do somehting different, maybe this will give me a chance to make some currys for starters to place on the xmas table 😀
    Thankyou for the chance 🙂 Yummy

  19. Claire Smith

    We are all curry addicts in our house so would love to have the opportunity to dazzle the family with some new recipes!

  20. ashleigh

    i would love to win this so that i could do more cooking – its usuallymy husband that does it!

  21. Louise R

    Our curry repertoire is stuck in a rut. The curry kit will rejuvenate our curry preparation techniques.
    PS Even if I don’t win, I am still going to investigate the Moghul rose petal lamb curry

  22. Not Delia

    Hi everyone. Thanks for all your great comments.

    Good luck with the competition!

  23. Emma Howard

    Great idea! I love curries but am nervous about cooking them, and also find it difficult to source some of the more unusual ingredients.

  24. Maya Russell

    I love curries and would eat them every day if I could! Would love to win and this kit looks so easy.

  25. iain maciver

    love cooking to try out new things

  26. Beverley

    I’d like to win because we love curry, but my skills only venture as far as beef madras – which, don’t get me wrong – it’s very nummy, but I’d love to learn to cook something different! x

  27. Lisa Day

    I’d like to win as It would be fun to have curry nights,have friends round and enjoy movies.It would be like Come dine with me with currys lol.

  28. mick proctor

    I eat curry all winter and i never get a cold !

  29. Dee Dmonte

    We love curry, every member of the household! We eat curry 5= nights per week and love to try new recipes. I would love to win this to try some dishes that we not sampled before.

  30. Carolynn Woodland

    I never have all the ingredients required for any recipe I choose which is probably why my cooking leaves a great deal to be desired! These curry kits could be the answer and my husband would be thrilled.

  31. tracey gibbons

    would love to win this as i love cooking and we have started making our own versions of take away food and find this to be much more tasty and doesnt leave you felling yak like take away food, to win this would mean lots of scrummy meals for my family

  32. Paul

    We’re a family of four (so that’s a good start!) and often get in quite late once our two sons have finished their various after-school activities (swimming, cubs, sports, etc.). By that time we are usually a) too shattered to cook something truly from scratch, and b) tight on time if we’re to maintain a sensible bedtime. Equally, we don’t like to eat ready meals so to have a curry kit like this – and be able to make mouth-watering meals with ease – would be a great solution.

  33. Chris Davies

    I have been attempting to hone my curry skills over the previous few months (with little success) and this sort of opportunity would seriously help me!

  34. Helen Moulden

    I’d love to win as I currently don’t cook (I manage to burn pizza, and once even managed to cook pizza with the polystyrene base still on…), so would love to win to give me the impetus to learn how to cook!

  35. Bonnie King

    I have a bad reputation for cooking. I can bake but fail at cooking!
    My last disaster was curried pork chops which of course didn’t turn out :/
    I would love to make it up to my hubby by finally cooking him something edible 🙂

  36. Lorraine Burey

    I love curry and make lots of them but everytime my husband says to me its very nice but its NOT curry!! I need some help I would love him to say next time that it IS curry!!

  37. christine

    My partner has never cooked but does like a curry, so this would mean no excuses. Instructions and preprepared spices what could be easier, and with guaranteed good results he will feel he has accomplished something AND I will have a night off!!! BLISS

  38. Deanne Harrison

    I would love to win this lovely prize 🙂 i have 3 children and we have a curry every saturday night , i would love to win so i could experiment with diffrent flavours etc , and it would be perfect getting delivered to your door what a great idea ! xx

  39. Eleanor Powell

    Always like to try new dishes
    And this would grant all my wishes
    Balti, Madras or maybe a korma
    Every one a winter warmer
    Each of us can take a turn
    From these packs we all can learn
    Doesn’t take long no need to hurry
    Another day a different curry!

  40. Pauline Simpson

    I love curry especially Balti and Bhuna I love mixing spices together and eating the result Ilike my curries with Nan bread and Chapatiis

  41. James Seale

    I would love to win this prize, I really enjoy experimenting with food, especially curry. It doesn’t usually come out right but everyone loves a tryer.

  42. emma kinsey

    would love to try as i like to experimet with diffrent foods and cook healthy for my growing family

  43. Karen R

    We would love to win because we cook quite often as a family, but I’m a bit worried about trying curry recipes. I would know that I can trust that these will turn out perfectly

  44. Natasha Gandy

    I would love to win because we love Curry but always rely on the local take away – I really do need to learn how to make a good curry !!

  45. Natalie White

    My dad is obsessed with cooking, and curry is one of his favourite foods! I know he’d LOVE this for Christmas – come on, make me the best daughter ever!!! x

  46. Sarah Williams

    My family enjoy a good curry however, my husband is a little bit annoyed that I don’t make the currys from scratch all the time due to lack of ingredients and spices. It would be great to have some fabulous new spices to try making different and exciting currys with.

  47. Richard Jones

    I’d love to win this as I really enjoy cooking different curry dishes and would love to expand my recipe book

  48. Fran Morgan

    I love to cook. I like making vegetable and meat-alternative curries from scratch especially light green curries. Would like to expand out a bit while I have some extra time to enjoy cooking.

  49. Elodie Ladlow

    Id love to win because my boyfriend is big curry lover and he has had a tough year so it would cheer him up 🙂

  50. Angie Hoggett

    I love to cook but never get much time, this would simplify the whole process for me and help me get the most from what little time I have!
