I ordered a spice kit from a company called The Spice Chef for ?1.99 and ?1.99 postage and they basically blend the spices for the specific curry that you want, but they do it to order. Came through the post as a box and it smelt amazing before even opening it. I ordered one for Madras but they do loads. You get a recipe, shopping list and enough spices for to make six portions. Mine included whole spices in one bag and blended in another. Really clever idea and your still effectively cooking from scratch. Best Curry I have made in ages and that goes for value for money as well because buying all those spices from the supermarket would have been costly. Definitely recommend them this is the site www.thespicechef.co.uk
