The Starly's Story...

Well, where do we start! We moved to Orton Cumbria in 2007. We live off the beaten track in a little farm community. It's very picturesque, with beautiful scenery, tranquil sounds and no Indian takeaways! So a Saturday night treat all of a sudden became a 25mile round trip for us!

The two of us have always had a passion for Indian food and have experimented with spices and ingredients for the last 10 years Cooking all variations of indian cuisine, so fortunately we were able to get our fix, and with Orton Farmers Market on our doorstep we were able to pick up our lovely fresh Chicken, Beef or Lamb to create our authentic Saturday night feast.



Living so close to the Farmers Market and getting to meet the local producers really opened our eyes to a different kind of life style. So after years of working for other people in jobs that did not captivate our creative sides, we decided to turn our love of Indian food, into our lively hood and it's the best thing we ever did.

Now, we have 14 spice blends in total, which are our own recipes unique to us. Over 10 months, we tried and tested scores of different recipes, and adapted them into easy to use spice blends, which allow you to create a fantastic and authentic dish, without loosing any of the flavour. We are very passionate about what we are doing and hope that you enjoy eating them as much as we enjoy creating them!
