The Cookaway Box - Railway Lamb Curry

 

Sumayya Usmani is an accomplished chef and author who has the most interesting podcast ‘A Savoured Life.’ We have previously interviewed her for our blog.  Sumayya kindly gifted us one of her Cookaway boxes for our family to enjoy. We chose the Railway curry. This was our first time trying a Cookaway box and we highly recommend Sumayya’s  Railway Lamb Curry.

The Cookaway box is well packaged and when we opened it up, we found paper bags that were numbered. We appreciated how it was laid out neatly to match the photographic  recipe cards that explained clearly what to add at what stage. We found it easy see what to add and when. Everything you need is in the box including chilled Lamb, Ghee (butter), Cinnamon Quills, Chilli, Green Cardamoms, Cumin Seeds, Coconut Milk, Sunflower Oil, Rice and more.

 We loved how the youngest in the family got involved with this and found it much fun to help us create the Railway Lamb Curry. What struck us was the beautiful smells as we started to cook. It is by far the most joyfully aromatic meal for our senses that we have ever made! The scents of the spices and the colours are so rich. My husband had great fun helping us make it too. Julia sadly had to sit this one out as she was studying for university that night. 

      It was wonderful that it brought the family together to create the meal and it was bringing us much joy reading the instructions as we went along. How it was supposed to look. It’s great we get the recipe cards to keep so we can make it again. The joy when it was ready to serve, Julia loved the taste and said she would eat this every week! We love the lemon taste which surprised as we didn’t add lemon. We found out it was the green cardamoms!

 The flavours were unlike anything we have eaten before and unlike any takeaway we have ordered. It wasn’t heavy - it was light and didn’t make us bloated afterwards. A joy to experience. We will be making this again as it was a stunning taste experience.

  We highly recommend using The Cookaway. It’s a non-subscription box. You choose the dish you would like to try and if you add meat or vegetables. Feeds two or four people. You are offered what day suits you for delivery too.

Far tastier than a take away and also it’s great to keep the recipe cards so you can make it again. A wonderful cookery experience and delicious to consume.
