handmade with Love and Harmony
Anila inherited her skills in the art of cooking from her mother, grandmother and great grandmother. As a working mother Anila identified a gap in the market for authentic curry sauces and in 1998 launched a premium range. Her philosophy is to serve food cooked with love and care using fresh ingredients.
Her sauces are free from added sugar, gluten/wheat, dairy, onion & garlic with no preservatives, colouring or additives making them suitable for almost anyone including those on a low FODMAP diet.
Discover why there really is no other taste that matches Anila’s range of sauces, chutneys and pickles. Customers continue to enjoy her wonderful products to make delicious curries simply and easily.
The range also includes 14 exceptional chutneys and pickles to complement the curry sauces, winning numerous awards including the Best Speciality Award for the South East for one of her pickles.
By using only the freshest and finest ingredients, Anila’s have created the perfect taste for an authentic Indian meal and bottle it for all of your enjoyment. Our fine selection of curry sauces are the ultimate in Indian cuisine, which we have listed in order of their spice rating below.
Creating the most delicious curry with Anila’s sauces could not be simpler. To serve 4.
1. Pour the contents of a jar into a saucepan and heat. Add your desired vegetables, lentils, meat, chicken or fish and continue to gently cook (seal) for 2 mins until they are nicely coated.
2. Fill up the same empty jar with cold water and add the desired amount to the pan depending on the main ingredient used.
3. Cover and cook gently on a low to medium heat for 10-15 mins for a vegetable dish and up to 30 mins for a meat dish or until the food is tender and the sauce has thickened.
4. Garnish with tomato wedges and fresh coriander. Serve with rice or naan bread.
5. For variety stir in coconut milk, add chopped tomatoes or onions. If you enjoy a milder curry add 2 tbs of natural yoghurt or cream towards the end of cooking.
Try the sauce as a spread on pizzas or sandwiches and to create dips.
Adding variety to the mixture of different products, Anila also provides a delicious selection of pickles, some of which are highly demanded in areas of the UK, having won bronze, silvers and even golds in nationwide competitions.

Of course, it wouldn’t be real Indian Cuisine without a delicious selection of chutneys to add flavour to those poppadoms. Which is why Anila has a few special flavours of chutneys ready to add that extra treat to your meal. Made with only a single fruit or vegetable to conserve their freshness, giving a purity of taste that treats the palate to a natural, authentic experience.
Opening a jar unlocks a natural and authentic taste explosion. In fact preservatives don’t even enter into the equation as each product bares witness to freshness; you need only to taste them to understand the difference.
