As much as you (and I) love cooking, when it comes to feeding the whole family some days call for a shortcut. The days when the relentless-ness of it all gets to you.

The word shortcut has a bad reputation when really it's an alternate, smarter way of doing things. Which is exactly what our Quick Meal Combo is. Three jars of goodness, cooked from scratch, sitting in your pantry for the nights you want something jazzy but can't be bothered doing it all yourself.

All three pastes in this combo have won Silver at the NZ Artisan Awards and are the ones customers order over and over again.

Three Indian curry pastes in one box

1 x Tandoori Paste
The one people reach for most. Smoky and medium-spiced, this paste works as a marinade, on pizza, with pasta or even to meal prep your chicken. What to cook with tandoori paste (besides curry)

1 x Cashew Korma
Rich, nutty and completely chilli-free. This is the jar that gets the kids eating curry. 12 ways to use one jar of Cashew Korma

1 x Spinach Saagwala
This is the one for the nights you're tempted to order a takeaway — works with tofu, paneer, chickpeas or lamb. 14 things to make with Spinach Saagwala

Stir it, stir-fry it, spread it

All three bottles make you a mean curry or stir-fry, and all three work for a roast. The Tandoori and the Korma also work on pizzas, pitas, wraps and toasties. Also great straigh from the jar with chips! 

The hard work is done for you. You simply need to add the protein of your choice — chicken, mince, steak, paneer, cauliflower, you choose! — and voila, dinner is ready in under 30 minutes.
