Here's a tempting street food recipe...Vada Pavs

Vada Pavs are mashed potato burgers - enough said...🤤

You'll need: 1 x Bhajia Pack, 6 bread rolls, oil, 750g old, floury potatoes, some butter and milk (to create the mash), 1 x Bombay Potato Spice Mix and your favourite chutney (we'd recommend our Lime Chutney)

Instructions:
1. Boil the potatoes. When they're boiling, add the Bombay Spice Mix into a frying pan.
2. Gently toast the spices with some oil, then add the boiled potatoes, and a little butter and milk to taste. Then mash. Leave to cool
3. Form the cold mashed potato into round golf ball-sized balls (12-15)
4. Coat each mashed potato ball in the Bhajia batter.
5. Deep fry in batches in hot oil for 1-2 minutes, until the potato balls are golden brown all over.
6. To serve, split the bread rolls in half (toast them in you want a crunchier texture) and fill with your chosen chutney and the vada (potato ball). Squish it closed and enjoy!

The biggest curry myth? That it’s all about heat/chilli, hear us out...

We believe that creating a delicious curry is mainly about carefully balancing its spices, flavours and textures...nothing really to do with the heat🌶️

The regionality of curries is another important part, with the spices and ingredients changing depending on where the curry recipe is from. The heat of the curry is really down to personal preference.

This way, you're not limited to specific curries due to their perceived heat - Choose your Curry Pack based on the flavours you like, then whether you'd like it mild, medium, hot or very hot. You could have a mild Vindaloo or a hot Korma, the options are endless (and delicious!)

Is there a curry you’ve always wanted to try, but its mild/heat reputation has put you off? Let us know in the comments 👇🏼

Ever wondered why we’re called Rafi’s ‘Spicebox’?

Rafi had 3 Spice Tins (Masala Dabbas) that she used everyday. Similar to the ones we have on the Spice Desks today…

Rafi’s sons, Kevin and Lee, would call these Spice Tins ‘mums Spicebox/Spiceboxes’

So when it came to naming the business, it just had to be - Rafi’s Spicebox 💜
