Rice recipes
So versatile and so fundamental to Asian cooking, we use rice all the time in many unusual as well as everyday recipes.
Try some of our latest recipes….
Chicken and rice, Mexican-style! Use our spice blend or just use cumin and smoked paprika, and don’t forget the lime juice!
This Kuantan chicken is one of our favourite ways to barbecue or bake chicken.You may want to make two versions of the sauce - one mild and one packed with chopped chillies - to cater for all tastes.
We love our Northern Thai Burmese curry, with its unusual flavours of caraway seeds, sesame oil and soy sauce, but you can also make a lovely coconut curry with the spices.
This very simple recipe of venison in a yellow bean sauce would also be delicious with beef. The cucumber adds a fresh note and a delicate flavour…
The Chinese name for this dish is ‘Sanxian’, meaning ‘three delicacies’. We have taken this to mean 3 types of seafood…
These Chinese meatballs contain pork, prawns and crabmeat (we use tinned) and are very easy to make. They would traditionally be deep-fried to a medium brown colour before finishing in the sauce, so an air fryer is ideal here…
Chaunke or Chunke Matar is basically a pea and onion dish. We use our Chaat Masala blend to great effect here - the tangy flavour of the asafoetida and mango powder, together with lemon juice, go really well…
Lamb and Potato curry (keema aloo if you must!) is a lovely simple, warming dish everyone will love! We used our Keema Peas spice blend and added fresh chillies to add a burst of heat…
Fancy a light recipe over the Christmas period, and you’ve got a spare carton of our seasonal spice blend? Try out these…
We love hearing suggestions from customers about ways to cook our curries differently, and this one is a winner! Try coconut milk in our mild Auntie Ang’s chinese curry and you’ll have a whole new dish!
If you like Keema Peas (minced meat with peas), then this version replacing the peas with baked eggs is also for you! It was a popular street food in Singapore…

The lime and lemongrass in this coconut-based recipe means that it tastes more like a Thai curry than any of our others. Gorgeous as a vegetarian meal, and check out our recipe for an Indonesian lamb curry!
Serves: 4-6

Do not confuse this with a typical North Indian korma! Cooked with lemongrass, lime and coconut milk, and with fennel and star anise in the spice blend, this is a really tangy, medium curry for chicken or fish.
Serves: 4-6
(heat 9/10)
A delicious coconut (and hot!) beef curry from Sumatra, filled with the flavours of star anise and lime leaves. Also lovely with chicken.
Serves: 4-6
(heat 5/10)
An unusual curry with fennel seeds and star anise. Cooked using soy sauce, beef, green beans and potatoes, it is an Indonesian version of the Thai Massaman curry. Also really good as a vegetarian option, or with chicken.
Serves: 4-6
(heat 9/10)
This was one of our first spice blends, and contains szechwan pepper and star anise. The recipe contains pineapple, which may seem unusual but is a fundamental part of Malaysian cooking. It adds a sweet tang to this very spicy dish, and tinned really is better than fresh!
Serves: 4-6
(heat 5/10)
This is a delicious, quite dry meat curry, which benefits from being cooked as long as possible. The perfect way to cook venison if you have a surfeit! This spice blend can also be used to make a Panaeng Curry.
Serves: 4-6
(heat 5/10)
A very traditional beef curry. We suggest the potatoes and beans to reduce the saltiness of the dish, and it is delicious with chicken. It is not particularly hot so feel free to add your own fresh chillies.
Serves: 4-6
(heat 4/10)
Use our blend to make a traditional Malay chicken satay, or a more unusual Indonesian version which is perfect with beef or pork.
Serves: 4-6
(heat 2/10)
This is a Singapore curry for the European members of the Yacht club, as remembered by Andrew. Not too spicy, but with that all-important ingredient - tinned pineapple! - this is a real mixture of Malay flavours with a good dose of traditional British curry! This curry is dedicated to Wing Commander Neville Shorrick, who was there too!
Serves: 4-6
(heat 5/10
A tomato & yoghurt curry cooked by Hindus in Singapore for the Festival of Light, Deepavali (Diwali). It combines fennel seeds and star anise with garam masala, cumin and coriander. This was originally a Bitspicy seasonal speciality, but has proved so popular (and so delicious!) that we have made it a permanent fixture in our shop.
Serves: 4-6
(heat 6/10)
A tangy sweet & sour chicken curry using coconut milk, vinegar and sugar. We’ve kept the spices at a medium heat, but it should be a hot curry so be generous with the chillies if you’re not feeding the family! You can also make a delicious Kuantan grilled chicken recipe with a dipping sauce.
Serves: 4-6
Indonesian Rendang is the hotter, darker, richer version of a Malay Rendang, and you can use our spices for this one too. Add as many chillies as you like!
