“Mum, look! Fortnum’s have given us our own window on Piccadilly!” A huge day!! not just for my family, but for the entire Desi diaspora. This isn’t just a display; it’s a statement. Because food isn’t just flavour, it’s history, identity, and connection. Today, we feel truly seen not just as makers, but as part of the living, breathing story of modern multicultural Britain. Not only shelf space, but now also our own window, one for each of the winners. The Fortnum & Mason team have been nothing short of incredible: supportive, enthusiastic, and genuinely committed. They believed in us from day one, championed our vision, and celebrated our culture alongside us every step of the way. Every batch we make is a love letter to the past, crafted with deep respect for our roots — but also a nod to the present, embracing the bold, diverse tastes of modern Britain. That balance authenticity with innovation (plus a healthy dose of Punjabi swagger) — is what makes our snacks what they are. And now, thanks to Fortnum’s, they’re taking their rightful place on new tables, in new hands, in one of Britain’s most iconic store. #FortnumAndMason #DesiDiaspora #FoodHeritage #MulticulturalBritain #CulturalPride #BritishAsians #FoodWithStory #EntrepreneurJourney

“𝐋𝐨𝐤𝐚 𝐧𝐞 𝐤𝐢 𝐤𝐞𝐡𝐧𝐚?” – 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐲? This South Asian Heritage Month isn’t just for the South Asian community — it’s a heritage everyone can be proud of. A reminder that modern Britain is multicultural. Rich with stories, shaped by migration, and full of flavour We are second-gen British Asians. We grew up in homes full of spice, colour, and joy — but outside, we were told to keep it quiet. Don’t make a fuss. Don’t be too desi. Blend in. Fit in. Our parents said it to protect us. “Loka ne ki kehna? But we’re done shrinking ourselves to make others comfortable. That’s why we started Curry Smugglers. Because we were tired of seeing South Asian snacks we love grew up eating sold in plain, boring bags that said nothing about who we are. Our culture isn’t beige — it’s bold, messy, generous, joyful. And it deserves to be celebrated in full colour. We’re proud of where our parents come from — and proud of where we are now. Building something of our own. Carrying forward the things they couldn’t always say out loud. Celebrating the food, the flavour, the fullness of our identity — unapologetically. Not just fitting in — but standing out, on purpose. #SouthAsianHeritageMonth #SecondGenStories #ProudlyDesi #BritishAsian #CurrySmugglers #RepresentationMatters #FlavourWithPurpose #CultureInColour

STICK IT. This is Chakli — crunchy, spiced-up sticks of desi defiance. Born in our mum’s kitchen. Raised on road trips. Now packed in cans so you can snack loud, snack proud, and snack like you mean it. Earthy heat. Smoky depth. That crunch? Criminal. This isn’t a nibble — it’s a full-blown flavour raid.
