I have not bought any for a while, but noticed they stopped free international shipping (it is now £4 regardless as to quantity bought). 3 kits including shipping costs £11.98 (about $20)

The 'kit' contains all the spices needed, and instruction guide, on how to make your own curry. To make it right they take some time. The end result on all the curries I made was just like the best Indian restaurant back in England. Each kit can make lots of servings - we use the spices in the crock pot too.

The last delivery we had was inspected, we presume, by customs - not surprising when you consider the package was 6 large bags of 'powder', which was probably tempting to the sniffer dogs

Ingredients

1 lb of sprouts
250g Natural Yoghurt (full fat)
2 medium onions
2 medium tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato puree
2 small green chillies
1 inch root ginger
4 garlic cloves
handful cilantro leaves
2 tsp salt
5 tbsp cooking oil
Spices
5 Cardamoms pods
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground corriander
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala


Preparation
Clean and cut the sprouty goodness into bite size pieces. Only they're bite-sized already, so that's one job already done.
Finely chop onions,garlic and ginger together (preferably in a food processor)
Finely chop tomatoes (in food processor)
Finely slice the green chillies, do not remove the seeds.

Cooking Instructions:
Into a glass bowl add the yoghurt, tumeric, cumin, corriander, paprika, green chillies, salt and sprouts. Mix well.

Empty into a roasting tin, spread evenly and grill on high heat for approx 7 minutes on either side or until the sprouts starts to brown. Now the mixture will look like its curdling....GOOD...this is exactly what you want..trust me..

Meanwhile, heat the oil over a moderate heat in a large non-stick pan and add the cardamoms, wait until they sizzle.

Add the onions, ginger and garlic and fry till golden brown on medium heat. Now add the cinnamon and red chilli powder, stirring frequently.

Next add the tomatoes and the tomato puree, cover and cook for 5 minutes on low heat.

Finally empty the sprouts from the roasting tin into the pan, stir well, cover and cook for a further 10 minutes on low to medium heat.

When ready to serve, add the chopped cilantro, stir, then sprinkle with the garam masala.

Serve with Pilar rice..Bon Appitite
