Part of the "Don't Ask Aunty, Ask PAKCO" series.

 

In part two of our Diwali special on Hammy Eats, Nick Hamman is back in the kitchen with Shovanie Devraj to tackle the ultimate test: can Shovanie cook a complete festive feast without Aunty stepping in to take over?

 

With generations of memory and tradition packed into every dish, Shovanie is pulling out all the stops. From a tender, flavourful lamb curry and a stunning prawn curry made using trusted PAKCO Roasted Masala, to a genius, crispy fried creation coated in PAKCO Curry Chilli Paste smothered with Hinds Southern Coating Original and spices, it is time to see if PAKCO delivers those nostalgic heritage flavours and finally earns Aunty's ultimate stamp of approval.
