Pure Punjabi + Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance

Our next pop-up restaurant food event…a delicious hand-made North Indian menu and event experience, based upon the system of Langar and Seva of the Sikh religion.

What is Langar?

It is an inspiring practice based upon communal kitchen of the Sikh religion, funded and run by its own community to ensure everyone in the community, and anyone in need, receives a nutrionally complete meal every day.

What is Seva?

Seva is service – the giving of service voluntary, whether by physical labour or donations, to ensure that the system of Langar is self-fullfilling and perpetually in practice across every Sikh temple throughout the world, on a daily basis.

Join us for this Pure Punjabi food event, in collaboration with Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance, and come and sample a variety of dhals and sabji (vegtable curry), with rice and Naan bread, to see how a vegetarian diet offers plenty of choice and great taste.

Punjab is a farmland region, and therefore, a major food producing region of India. The variety of pulses, grains, vegetables and crops grown in the area is huge, and Punjabi is known as the ‘bread basket ‘ of India. The food of Langar is always vegetarian and is nutrtionally balanced and complete.

During and after your lunch you can experience the system of voluntary service that is given on an equally remarkable level by the amazing volunteers from Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. Come and meet the teams and you will have the opportunity to see one of the life-saving vehicles, and learn more about the incredible work done by Air Ambulance, funded entirely on donations with no Government funding.

We are having such fun cooking from The Spice Pack Collection and all the dishes have come out brilliantly. The smell is divine and Rob, who is very fussy, is particularly impressed. All our visitors are wowed when they smell the box – we’ve been too possessive to share any with others, as yet!

As a natural therapist I particularly appreciate the healthy aspect of each dish, none of which compromise on taste. Good ingredients freshly cooked makes a big difference.

We’re going on holiday with three other couples in a couple of weeks and going to take the pack with us to cook some dishes together.

“We had a BBQ for family and friends few weeks ago and we made the Lamb Kebabs & Coconut & Sesame Chutney and Crushed Tikka New Potatoes & Mango Chicken… We received such rave reviews!! All so easy to make with the spices and sauces all provided for us…food was all delicious!”

Chris & Debs - dinner kit with cook-along customer

“That was so fun…

Thank you for the zoom meet up. That was so fun. We will definitely be up for another. Please send another suitable invite and kit. We are predominately veggies so used the butternut squash version. If this continue the local takeaway will suffer for sure. Again thanks”.

Carol R. dinner kit with cook-along customer

“What a wonderful cookalong…

…The Mango Chicken was delicious and my naan bread actually looked amazing – like the real thing. I feel so successful. Thank you. Looking forward to our next cookalong”.

Pam Brown – dinner kit with cook-along customer

“Thank you so much both…

– the class was amazing and we both really enjoyed the food. It makes so much difference knowing exactly how to do things and that we can make such tasty food which is gluten free. Jeera rice has always been my favourite but many restaurants don’t have it on the menu”.

Sylvia M – dinner kit with cook-along customer

“Thank you so much...
... for a great hour of cooking on Saturday evening. I enjoyed it very much as I have never done anything like it before. The Punjabi chicken was delicious and we had enough to freeze for another time”.

Sue W – dinner kit with cook-along customer

“Well that was amazing…
... the best curry I've ever had and Jxx said it was like being in India ( as he’s spent so much time there with work ) loved the class and so did Exxx looking forward to coming to your workshops…
…and will order some more kits from your website”

Roy P…dinner kit with cook-along customer

“Many thanks…
...for the cook–along workshop yesterday. It was very enjoyable and the meal tasted lovely. As someone who is not a confident cook it was ideal to follow your teaching. I have recommended this to a friend of mine who is very interested in joining the next cook–along. I will definitely be doing it again”.

Ellie Pipe

I highly recommend this lovely family run local company…

... We’ve enjoyed 2 of their meal kits now along with an online cook along to show us what to do. Thank you.

Diane McGillivray

I love them all and would highly recommend…

...If I had to choose one it would be the Mango chicken.
