Hi
Im looking for jobs around Spain and as me and my wife are both Indian we were thinking of offering home cooking and also offer a service of cooking for your private dinner parties.
Would there be a market for this or is the Indian food market quite saturated as we are fully aware like in the UK you can buy those microwave meals!!
All comments kindly appreciated
Kind regards

I for one - and I can't believe I'm the only ione - would love a good, reasonably priced curry

there are good Indian Restaurants around here - but when compared -pricewise/value for money wise - to restaurants of just about any other type - they are IMO very overpriced

Make it yourself, so much cheaper and you know what is in it.

we do - but it would be nice to 'go out' for an Indian meal sometimes, too - more variety when there are 4 of us with different favourites

Ooohhhh....sounds like a good business idea to me This should be on the 'businesses that work in Spain' thread (Siesta time)

Go for it

Forgot to add........

Microwave meals from the supermarket ..........yuk!!

Limited market, not many Spanish like Indian food.

what are they

you have a point

among my spanish friends & acquaintances I can think of precisely














none

They are really missing out then

There must be enough expats over here to keep a home delivery business going surely. Worth doing some research.

I would love to have an Indian restaurant or takeaway near me.

There are Indian restaurants popping up in the bigger cities like Madrid. However it will take time, it's true , before the Spanish palate adapts to the spicy Indian cuisine. What may a success (again in a bigger city with a large expat community) would be to open a bar-restaurante. In Madrid, instead of a free patatas bravas or slice of tortilla with your drink, you could give a samosa, or poppadum. I'm sure if you got the Brit expat crowd in (serve beer in pint measures as well as canas for the locals) you could build up quite a regular trade. Serve decent tea, and some nice Brit-style desserts, and I'd fly over myself to be a customer!

I don't think you have read the OP properly - they are not talking about Indian restaurants but cooking classes and doing home dinner parties.
I live in India for two thirds of my year and the other third in Spain - though not Indian I was the first person in the UK to gain a City and Guilds in Indian cookery and taught English people how to cook Indian food because of my love for the food.
The quality of Indian food in Spain is dreadful and getting the spices can be difficult depending on where you live. I call into the UK on my way back to Spain and buy what I think I will need for the next 4 months.
As to the original question - I was going to do this on Costa del Sol but never got round to it. If it is going to be a part-time job that you can pick up when you want then yes but not as a full time job where you have to need the money to live on. It would be mostly ex-pats who would come to the lessons and have the dinner parties and maybe holiday makers would have an Indian get together if they know people in the resort where they are staying.
The way the euro/pound is at the moment to some people this would be a luxury and I don't think there will be an abundance of tourist in Spain next year.
By the way - supermarkets in Spain do not sell frozen Indian food as a regular item - maybe as an expensive import.
As a footnote to OP - a bunch of coriander in Spain was one and a half euros (£1) when I left in August and that now would cost £1.35. Bought 2 big bunches here in India today for 20p.
