I had a wonderful, at home, Indian cooking class recently with Lajina Masala, bought for me as a 60th birthday present.
The whole experience was professional, fun and very educational.
Lajina and her husband Krish were both lovely and under Lajinas guidance cooking a daunting 3 course Indian meal for 6 turned out brilliantly.
I learnt so much about authentic Indian cooking, everything tasted amazing, my wife and friends loved the meal and there was so much food they took enough away with them to have another 3 course Indian meal another day.
I would highly recommend anyone who enjoys cooking and loves Indian food to try this cooking experience with Lajina Masala, it was fantastic.

We've known Lajina and her husband Krish for 8 years now. She originally catered for an evening event in our home in 2017. When she started Curry Club during Covid her online cookalongs kept us sane... and well-fed! We have a regular order of Lajina's spices, both for ourselves and for friends and relatives. They are always super fresh and delicious. We use them all the time, not just in our curries, but in everything from a salad to Cottage pie to cauliflower cheese. Last night Lajina came and cooked for us and our neighbours. A wonderfully varied meal and a splendid evening for a collection of foodies. Lajina is not only a fantastic cook, her demonstrations while she prepares a fabulous meal are such fun and really informative. She puts on a gentle entertaining performance.
Thoroughly recommend her business.

Lajina and her husband came and delivered an absolutely amazing morning of cooking tuition at our home. She was kind to us as beginners taking time to go over key details and tips on how to get the best flavour/texture from the ingredients. The whole morning was a lot of fun and the banquet of food was wonderful. She shared her wisdom and enthusiasm for cooking to all of our family - we feel really enthused to start cooking her recipes! Thank you Lajina - you have given our kitchen and home cuisine a new lease of life:)

As a long term member of Lajina's curry club, my knowledge and confidence of cooking Indian food has increased. I love receiving the spices through the post and look forward to the recipes and live cookalongs. The cookalongs are great fun, whilst at the same time you are learning. Lajina is very approachable and will answer any questions you have. She has a great sense of humour, so the cookalongs are very uplifting and you end up with a delicious meal to share with family and friends. Highly recommend. Also great as a gift.

Attended a Master class on Sunday 27th October 2024, great fun while learning, food was amazing, what was even more amazing was the fact that we had cooked it ourselves, highly recomended to attend yourself or buy as a gift/present for someone. Lajina really looked after us all well and has totally built me confidence in cooking.

Thank you so much Lajina and Krishnan (apologies if I have spelled that wrong).

Attneded your cookery school today and had the most amazing day. The food was very delicious and it was easy to follow and understand where I might have been going wrong.

Highly recommend Lajina’s school for presents, team building or one on one.

Many thanks

I love Lajina's curry club. I am excited every time we have a classes.
I class this as a hobby and my self care, something for me to do and enjoy.
The family are loving me cooking Indian food and they always look forward to trying what I have made.
Lajina gives way more value than she charges for curry club, she is patient and does anything to help you.
Thank you Lajina for creating this club. I always look forward to our classes and learning more.

I love the packs of spice mixes - they make putting a good curry dish together to easy. Whether I start with raw or previously cooked meat, vegetables, or am just making a simple lentil dhal these are the spices I use. And of course they all add towards my 30 plants a week!

I’ve been a member of Lajina Masala’s curry club for several years now and every cook a long I learn something new in technique and cook something totally delicious.
I joined because I love curries but blending spices scared me. Lajina teaches from the heart and her spice blends take all the fear out of the cooking. She’s totally responsive to Club members needs and she sends the odd spicy gift which is very kind.
If you are looking for a great gift for a cook loving partner or to learn more yourself, you can’t go wrong. My family and friends thank you too as they love my Curry Club creations.

Since buying my husband a days cooking course with Lajina, our lives have been transformed. He wasn’t a very good cook but learnt skills and how to do a full curry meal in a day. Then when lockdown hit and Lajina launched curry club it was a no brained- I bought a three month membership. My husbands skills have grown every month and we now have a weekly Indian banquet which he cooks. The monthly delivery of spices are amazing and the live cook alongs together with the Facebook group help support any queries.
Highly recommend

Since discovering Lajina Spices at a Country Fair in Shropshire I no longer seem to need any others (apart from my chilli flakes & peppers). The spices arrive in sealed/re-sealable sachets that keep the spices beautifully fresh. Customer Service is excellent and delivery prompt. Nothing seems too much trouble for this company. I have yet to try the Lajina Curry Club but I have heard that it too is brilliant and a lot of fun. Well done Lajina Spices.

Lajina is a brilliant cook and sooo funny, she makes cooking and learning to spice great fun. I can't go back to shop bought spices now after using her spice mixes. She now has a Curry Club you can join, an on-line cookery school and monthly spice subscription service.

Great spices and great advice and recipes on spicing. Join the online monthly curry club to get all the insights of a cookery school but with loads more fun or purhase the spices direct

I am delighted to have joined Lajina's Curry Club and to have learned a whole host of delicious dishes, in particular the recipe for a basic curry, using Lajina's excellent blend of ground spices; and also the "cheat" naan bread recipe, which is so easy and useful and works every time. I find that using Lajina's "Curry Masala" gives a huge depth to the flavour of the curry and it is a truly authentic taste, unlike most of the bland jars of curry paste the you can buy in the shops.

Lajina's live cooking online is a great thing to build your confidence because she demonstrates step-by-step and you get practical tips that you can never find by just following a recipe. For example, watching Lajina live online, I learned a really simple trick how to get your naan breads to be perfectly round and how to stop the flour from sticking to the dough.

Great recipes, great spices and a delicious outcome every time!

Have used Lajina's spices for some time now. I am not the most enthusiastic cook at the best of times! The spices make it very simple though to make a curry that way supersedes retaurant quality, from your home. The directions are very simple and foolproof. Would recommend them to anyone and the Curry Club is a great idea. Thank you Lajina!

I can thoroughly recommend Lajina and her wonderful Curry Club. The spices are beautifully fragrant and fabulous to use but in addition I have so much enjoyed the cooking and learning experience provided by Lajina through the month. I make curry regularly but in a couple of months have learnt totally different ways to cook base curries, Naan and side dishes, totally widening my expertise.

I signed up initially for three months but have no hesitation in signing up for further subscriptions. I live on a remote island in Scotland and this is a wonderful way to be part of Lajina's classes which I would normally be unable to attend. Thank you Lajina!

Lajina is brilliant, her curry club is great fun to be part of. Not only are you learning how to cook delicious curries, rice and breads (all skills which help with everyday cooking too, like how to cook an onion properly) but she makes sure it is fun too. She is a skilled chef and a fabulous teacher.

I’m a member of Lajina’s Curry Club and swear by her spices and recipes. I’ve never been a very confident chef, but Lajina’s guidance, easy to follow recipes and foolproof spice blends have meant not only have I produced some amazing meals, but I’ve enjoyed the process of creating them and sharing them with the people I love.

The brilliant thing is, the recipes are so adaptable and the techniques Lajina teaches are really useful across plenty of other dishes too, Indian inspired or otherwise! It also helps that she happens to be wonderfully helpful and encouraging too.

I couldn’t recommend the Curry Club more highly, and think every kitchen needs a few Lajina spices in the cupboard for when you need to really impress or just want to thoroughly enjoy the food you’re creating. Thanks for giving me the passion to get in the kitchen!

I decided to join Lajina's Curry Club as I had been at home shielding and felt that I needed to get outside of my comfort zone and learn something new. I have been home cooking for 60+ years, but not really got into Indian Cuisine although I have previously bought some spice blends from Lajina Masala, knew of her cookery classes, and sadly never been able to attend any.

I am loving being part of the Curry Club, the on-line classes are great fun and available to watch afterwards as many times as we wish, the spices we are sent are amazing and the recipes to create with them are fab. I signed up for 3 months and am hoping to keep going for a long time. A great community is developing on FB too as we share our successes and very occasional failures with great photos. Not a failure as such, but my naan breads are still very much a work in progress, but they taste pretty good!

Nothing is too much trouble for Lajina and the lessons are a family affair with her husband and son doing the filming and relaying and answering our queries via Facebook private group.

My husband is being served up a new curry dish or accompanying side dish every few days, much to his delight.

Joined Lajina’s Masala Curry Club 3 months ago, and wow, it been fantastic.
I consider myself a true foodie with good cooking skills, and my homemade curry has never received complaints. But wow the combination of Lajinas expertises and bubbly personality with the virtual live cooking lesson also her genius spice blends has turned my homemade curry’s to master chef level!!

I am having so much fun, Each month I’m learning new exciting recipes included Naan breads, Onion Bhajis, Butter chicken curry, tandoori Veg, the best Dahl I ever eaten and whole loads sides!
I work full time and have a jammed pack family life, so cooking lessons never fitted in, but curry club is there when I want it, all the live cook alongs are on the Curry Club private Facebook group are available to view when I want to.
I have messaged Lajina serval times to ask question, she’s always responded quickly, she’s super friendly and gone above and beyond what I expected every time.
The spices blends are delivered beautifully packaged and tastes so much fresher than anything you buy in the shops.
The community on the private Facebook group is lovely and everyone helps each other, and has a laugh.

Do I think you should join curry club? Is the the pope catholic? Join Curry Club you won’t regret it! Lots of love from the curry addicted Sophie xx
