Recipes Rooted in Indian Home Cooking
Chef Akila’s food is shaped by family recipes and years of experience with Indian cooking. Born in a South Indian village, she grew up with the herbs, spices and cooking methods that still influence the dishes made today.
Each meal is cooked from scratch with carefully chosen ingredients and freshly ground masalas. There are no ready-made base gravies or shortcuts, helping each curry, dal and side keep its own flavour.
Vegetarian Food Prepared With Care
Vegetarian dishes are cooked and packed on separate days using different utensils and equipment, with separate storage for veggie ingredients. That gives you extra reassurance when ordering from the range.
Meals are made with natural ingredients, without fake meat, artificial colours, preservatives, flavour enhancers or MSG. The full range is also gluten-free, with ingredient, nutrition and allergen details available for each dish.
Keep Indian Food Ready in Your Freezer
Keeping a few favourites on hand can make busy weeks much easier. Chef Akila’s dishes arrive frozen and can go from freezer to plate in under 10 minutes, with very little prep or washing up.
They work well for evenings when you get home late, work-from-home lunches, weekends when you would rather relax than cook, or those nights when a takeaway just doesn’t feel worth it.
You can also build your order around the way you normally eat. Pick a few vegetarian Indian meals for dinner, add sides for sharing, or keep different curries on hand so everyone can choose what they prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I keep the vegetarian meals frozen?
Every meal arrives with a best-before date on the pack, and you’ll have at least six months before that date when your order is delivered.
Will the vegetarian meals still be frozen when they arrive?
Yes. Orders are packed in insulated liners with dry ice, and the delivery boxes are tested to maintain frozen conditions for up to 60 hours during transit.
Are there any UK areas you cannot deliver vegetarian meals?
Delivery is not available to Northern Ireland, the Highlands or UK islands because the courier cannot guarantee delivery within the required timeframe. Excluded postcodes include AB, BT, HS, IV, KA27-28, KW, PA20-49, PA60-78, PH16-26, PH30-44, PH49-50 and ZE.
How are your vegetarian dishes prepared?
The dishes are cooked from scratch in small batches by Chef Akila and their team. Each batch is tasted before packing, then frozen soon after cooking. Ready-made base gravies and sauces are not used.
Do the vegetarian meals contain artificial additives or preservatives?
No. The recipes are made without artificial colours, flavour enhancers, preservatives, MSG, ready-made sauces or base gravies. Traditional cooking methods and family recipes are used instead.
