Introducing the best curries on the high street. A year in the making, our new Collection Indian range features nine dishes inspired by diverse regional recipes across India, from Kerala to Goa. They’re all expertly crafted using the freshest ingredients and inspired by deep-rooted cooking techniques. From carefully slicing and slowly sautéing fresh onions, just like you would in a home kitchen, to expertly layering spices to lock in beautifully bold, balanced flavours, slowly cooking our sauces for extra depth and using our signature M&S garam masala spice blend and fresh garnishes for intensity and vibrancy, these are curries made with care. “We’ve spent over a year developing the range,” says M&S product developer Sophie. “We’ve concentrated on quality, using the freshest ingredients and the best cooking techniques.” Explore the range below and try it yourself in the Foodhall now.

Originating from within the walls of Old Delhi in the 1950s, our rich Collection Old Delhi Butter Chicken (pictured) is deeply flavoured with our signature garam masala spice blend, made from top-quality spices. Tender British chicken is cooked in our special oven for a smoky, tandoor-style flavour. Or try our Collection Goan Beef Vindaloo – slow-cooked beef in a deep, rich, spicy vindaloo sauce packed with roasted garam masala, vinegar, Kashmiri chilli and garlic.

And to drink?

An ice-cold beer will always go down a treat with Indian food, but fruity reds, such as Rioja and Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon, are also a great match. Fancy a cocktail? M&S drinks product developer Jenny has also created a mango and passionfruit bellini, specially designed to kick your Indian feast off on a fabulously fizzy, fruity note.
