I had seen an ad for these on Facebook last year, but was unsure whether to buy the vegan kit or not: I decided to wait but keep them in mind, as I had read some reviews that said they are tiny. As luck would have it, my lovely colleague/friend bought it for me for xmas (totally out of the blue, she just thought I'd like it). So yes - the tins are quite small, but then it's pretty obvious if you actually take note of what you are buying, i.e. 40g tins. They're never going to be big, are they! So - TARDIS - they look small, but what MASSIVE flavours they contain! The spices are so fresh and although I do make curries from scratch, this is SO much easier. You get a truly genuine flavour. I haven't followed the recipes from the booklet yet, but I am going to do so. My first use was in a vegan/gf version of saag paneer, but using tofu instead of paneer. It was so delicious: I used the tandoori masala blend. I've also used the Goan mix, which was also good. I'm looking forward to using the Goan blend next, and am already looking at ordering some refills and maybe the recipe book too. What a great gift! Also happy to discover it's a Scottish business as I like to buy from Scottish small businesses where I can :) If you're in doubt, just give them a try. It's worth it, in my opinion.
