Who would've thought it was possible to create such amazing authentic Indian food and deliver it frozen…? It has to be tasted to be believed (!) but I gather the freezing process is done so quickly that the flavours are all locked in (and, of course, the brilliant packaging keeps them frozen solid as they make their journey to your home). The nearest supermarket rival to Chef Akila in my experience is M&S... but their curries don’t even come close! The small batch traditional cooking of Akila’s dishes makes them impossible to rival. It’s a tremendously varied menu too; so many flavours to choose from. And if you’re well-organised in your own kitchen, you really can do ‘freezer to fork’ in 10 minutes! I’m a local parish priest, and these dishes literally are a God-send when returning to the vicarage after a late evening - so thank you, Lord, for Chef Akila and her family! In the end, I think it’s the love poured into the food that makes it so special.
