I love a massive curry blowout on a Sunday evening. Ram myself full of calories, and hang the consequences in the office the next morning.

So we were all very excited when the charming (and rather handsome) Amrik Dhaliwal of HolyFood dropped off two enormous bags of fresh organic curry at RoF Towers a few days back.

HolyFood are a new brand - launching at Selfridges and later spreading its wings across the finest of fine food halls. The basic concept - posh ready meals. So ideal for the standard-form harrassed City professional. But calling their lovely pots of organic, junk-free curry 'ready meals' is like calling the Titanic a boat. These are as far removed from the 'remove cardboard sleeve, pierce film and nuke for 30 seconds' bog-standard slop as you can imagine. The only thing it has in common is its convenience - pop the top off the pots and stick them in the microwave for a couple of minutes and gourmet treats await.

Evidence of just how good this stuff is

I had a prawn masala which was stuffed full with actual tiger prawns - not just the two sad looking shrimps you get at the supermarket. And no scrapings from the spice factory floor here, either. Big chunks of cinnamon, cardamon, whole chillis and bay leaves abound. I sampled (as well as the prawns) a chicken karahi plus a load of sides - including a fantastic sweet and spicy red pepper sabji. It was all delicious; beautifully spiced, delicately flavoured - completely irresistible. And, when you serve with HolyFood's unctuous raita and a big plate of chapatis - plus rice and mango pickle - it was one hell of a feast. I was immobile for several hours.

But that didn't stop me going for the puddings. Admittedly, not the first thing I look at on the menu when I pop down to Tooting for a quick ruby. In fact, beyond a cooling kulfi, I don't think I've ever treated myself - mainly because I'm usually sweating madras and stuffed with papadums. So it was with slight trepidation that I cracked the seal from my carrot halva - a pot of grated carrot cooked with coconut in milk flavoured with cardamons. Not entirely sure that I'm a convert just yet, but it went well - as suggested - with a scoop of ice cream.

This is marvellous stuff, so authentic looking that you could - almost - pretend you'd made it yourself, if only you had the time, inclination and ability. Given that most people lack all three, give HolyFood a try today.
