 Happy Diwali
This month our focus is on the special Hindu festival of Diwali. This auspicious occasion is enjoyed by Hindus and Sikhs all over the world to celebrate good over evil. Lamps or divas are lit as a sign of celebration and hope for mankind. Many families enjoy grand firework displays both in India and across the world and delicious Indian delicacies are served up for all to enjoy. Diwali is the name given to the return of Lord Rama and Sita from exile which happened thousands of years ago.
So what has this got to do with you? Well, we wanted all of you to help us celebrate Diwali in your own home by cooking with Spice-N-Tice and enjoying your free diva lamps with any orders over £15.00.This way you can join in with the festivities by lighting your diva lamps and impressing your friends and family with a fabulous authentic meal.

‘The big thumbs up!’
 Manju Malhi – The famous celebrity chef who regularly appears on our TV screens cooking delicious Indian cuisine has also been trying Spice-N-Tice dishes and gives us the 'big thumbs up!’
Here’s what she say’s…
"Spice N Tice is an ingenious idea. My favourite is the Methi Chicken Kit. The amounts were perfect and the dish tasted great after I followed the straightforward easy steps. This is a good way of introducing Indian home cooking to someone who doesn’t want anything too complicated but is adventurous in trying out and experimenting with new flavours."
Manju has some great recipes on her website and in her cookery books which you can find out more about on www.manjumalhi.co.uk .
