Let’s take a little trip of discovery to remind ourselves of the fascinating history of curry in the UK. Once upon a time, in the land of Britain, there was a culinary revolution brewing, and it all started with a wonderful little dish called curry!

 

• Colonial Capers: Picture this - adventurous British explorers sailing off to distant lands, seeking treasures and spices galore! Along the way, they stumbled upon the wonders of South Asian cuisine, bringing back a treasure trove of exotic flavours like turmeric, cumin, and coriander.
• Raj Rendezvous: Fast forward to the days of the British Raj in India. British officials and soldiers stationed in the subcontinent couldn't resist the allure of spicy curries wafting through the air. Before long, they were hooked on the tantalising tastes of masalas and kormas!

• Immigration Invasion: After bidding farewell to colonial rule, folks from South Asia decided to bring a taste of home to the UK. They packed their bags, boarded ships, and sailed across the seas to bustling British cities like London and Manchester, curry recipes safely in tow.
• Curry Craze: Suddenly, curry was all the rage in Britain! Indian restaurants popped up left, right, and center, offering a smorgasbord of spicy delights to hungry Brits craving a taste of adventure. From creamy kormas to fiery vindaloos, there was a curry for every palate!

• Culinary Carnival: Before you could say "biryani," curry had become a national obsession in the UK! Families flocked to curry houses for mouthwatering meals, and soon, "going for a curry" became as British as afternoon tea or a pint down the pub.
• Cultural Crossroads: Curry brought people together from all walks of life, bridging the gap between cultures and communities. It wasn't just a meal - it was a celebration of diversity, friendship, and the joy of sharing good food with good company!

• Spreading the Flavour: Today, curry continues to spice up British cuisine, adding a dash of excitement to dinner tables across the land. From traditional tikka masalas to innovative fusion creations, curry has woven itself into the fabric of British culinary culture.
• A toast to Curry!: So here's to curry - the dish that dared to be different, the fabulous flavour that brought us together, and the spice that made life a little more exciting! Let's raise our forks and toast to the spicy tale of curry in the UK - long may it reign supreme!

 

 

And what exactly does this have to do with pasties...? We've gone and put a curry in a pasty again, that's what! This Cluckin' Curry Pasty, jam-packed full of flavour is an adaptation of our popular Kickin’ Chicken Pie fill recipe. Tender chunks of chicken, along with a balance of peppers, spuds, tomato and those aromatic Indian flavours of cumin, turmeric, coconut and a little lime juice. Well spiced, but not spicy! Wrapped in our awesome pastry with a dash of extra turmeric and topped with a few nigella seeds.

Serve with a basic Saag Aloo and some mango chutney for dipping and you’ve got yourself a super springtime luncheon!
