Producer information

The brand was founded by Indian-born L.G. Pathak. When his father died, the family moved to Kenya in the hope of a better life, which they found: they opened a shop where they sold Indian delicacies to other families who missed the flavours of home.

In 1956, the family moved to Great Britain. L.G. struggled to find work, so his wife, Shanta, came up with the idea of restarting their Kenyan business in London. The delicacies she made in her tiny kitchen soon became popular, and there were soon queues outside their front door.

A few years later, they opened an Indian grocery shop, but the real turning point came when the Pataks (they had dropped the "h" from their name by this time) accidentally ordered too many vegetables. L.G. decided to make pickles from the surplus vegetables. Preserved in oil with freshly ground spices, the vegetables were able to retain the authentic flavours of India.

The brand was taken over by their son, Kiri. His wife, Meena, came up with the idea of making sauces that would enable people who didn't have time to mix their own spices to make a quick and easy curry at home. And as they say, the rest is history.
