Turn whatever is in your fridge into a meal that feels special

  • "Ordered a few pastes to liven up boring meals… now I always keep the Tandoori Paste in the fridge. It’s my go-to dinner solution. It makes for a great gift too.”

  • “The Cashew Korma blew me away. No chilli, but the flavour? Unreal. The aroma alone made me jealous of the kids' dinner. Korma nuggets for me too please!"

  • “The kick of flavour I didn’t know we needed. Now I’m adding it to every meal I can think of. Kicking myself for not discovering Dolly Mumma sooner.”

  • Spoon it in

    Start with 2-3 tablespoons of paste in a hot saucepan (or bake dish)

  • Add your usuals

    Toss in the protein and veggies. Add coconut milk or yoghurt to form a curry.

  • Stir, simmer, enjoy

    Simmer or bung it in the oven until its cooked. They’ll think you made it from scratch.

  • Cooked with care

    We dry-roast our spices and slow-cook each paste to bring out deep, bold flavour—then jar it up so you can skip straight to the good part. No prep, no fuss, just real Indian flavour ready when you are.

  • Fresh batches weekly

    We cook fresh batches of pastes weekly and bottle everything ourselves. Our family recipes use natural ingredients your grandma would recognise. What you get is fresh and aromatic.

  • Add them everywhere

    From dahl to prawn stir-fry, saag paneer to Sunday roast, our pastes bring real Indian flavour to whatever you’re making. Slather onto pizza, stir into pasta or simmer up a curry. The choice is yours.

From my grandmother

Dolly,

I inherited a life-long love for food. Hearty, bursting with flavour, Mumma's food always tasted like a tight hug. If they can taste the love, they will love the taste, she taught us.

Our story

But cooking at home

Felt hard

What spices do I put and when? Curry powder or Garam Masala? Why does every dish need a tadka? It felt easier to get a takeaway.

It took moving back to India, starting a food blog and experimenting (many, many times) with spices to learn that when you have the basics right, Indian cooking is simple!

It's why we created
