Now Bombay-born Reena, herself Jewish, has introduced her famous cuisine to the supermarket shelf, via a partnership with the Supersol chain. And from April her traditionally garbed image will grace the packs in British stores as the strictly kosher range of four chilled dishes is distributed here by Osem.

Included are chicken tikka masala, chicken mushroom, vegetable jalfrezi and chicken makhani, all accompanied by pilau rice and with reduced fat levels.

Next month a selection of kosher Thai dishes will join the Indian ones and will be available here in the summer.
