A new breakthrough, Brick-Lane inspired brand has launched into foodservice, after establishing itself as a leader within the retail space.

Listed with major national wholesalers, Bidfood and Creed Foodservice, BANG! Curry Professional – the foodservice arm of BANG! Curry – is the must-have staple for out-of-home hospitality caterers looking to bring an infusion of authentic Bangladeshi flavour to their menus.

BANG! Curry is founded by Shelly Nuruzzaman, who grew up in Brick Lane, London, in the heart of the Bangladeshi community.

Previously a scientist, with a PhD from Imperial College London, Shelly swapped the laboratory for the kitchen, where she perfected the formulas for her BANG! Curry kits.

Award-winning BANG! Curry has sold over 750,000 kits in the first five years, is established as the best-selling curry kit on Amazon and launched in Waitrose stores nationwide in 2024.

Following this success, the brand has now entered the foodservice sector, with its Professional range.

With a growing focus amongst consumers on health and sustainability, the five ambient products within the Professional range are all made from 100% natural ingredients, are vegan and gluten-free and come in 100% recyclable packaging.

Catering teams just need to add water to each, making it incredibly simple and easy.

Within the range, there is BANG! Curry Professional’s novel Onion, Garlic & Ginger Base formula, ideal to create the perfect curry base.

When hydrated with water, the dried mix achieves the look, feel and taste of finely chopped, fresh ingredients, without the chopping, which caterers can then fry off. Then there are four ready-to-go spice blends. Each creates a curry paste, when mixed with water:

• Warm Moghul (mild spice), which makes a delicious Bangla Bhuna or Korma
• Tikka Masala (medium spice), bringing the ever-popular Tikka flavour to the table
• Classic Bangla (medium spice), similar to a Jalfrezi, bringing classic Bangla flavours
• Naga Bang (hot spice), our hottest spice mix, which is similar to a Madras

All products are available in 500g packs, and cost 10p per portion on average, offering an affordable option for caterers.

Shelly Nuruzzaman, co-Founder of BANG! Curry Professional, says: “The two options that caterers have when creating Indian-inspired dishes is either to use a ready-made sauce, which lacks authenticity, flavour and compromises on nutrition, or use individual ingredients and cook from-scratch, which requires a skilled kitchen team and runs the risk of an inconsistent flavour each time. BANG! Curry Professional is the solution.

“Cooking with spices is complicated; there are so many different combinations and just the smallest tweak can result in a completely different flavour. With ‘consistent quality’ a key consumer mission identified in Creed Foodservice’s 2025 Trends, and 73% of consumers happy to pay more for higher quality*, our pre-mixed base formula and spice blends enable caterers to create a consistent flavour simply and easily, each and every time. With a skills and staff shortage in the hospitality industry, products that enable catering teams to cut corners in the kitchen, without cutting quality, are in high demand.

“International cuisine is popular. Over 80% of consumers buy products inspired by international cuisines on a weekly or bi-weekly basis** and Indian food is one of the top three most popular cuisines***. BANG! brings the genuine flavours of Bangladeshi cuisine to life in every serve.

“Our range is incredibly versatile. The obvious option is to use our base mix and spice blends to create authentic curries that can be served as sit down meals or grab & go style curry pots, but there is so much more you can use them for as well. They can be used to marinate meat or vegan proteins that can then be used in Indian-inspired burritos, flat breads or quesadillas, as exciting toppings on pizza bases, worked into spicy burger buns or served with nachos or dirty fries.”

The new BANG! Curry Professional products are all available in 500g packets, with six packets per box. The Onion, Garlic & Ginger Base provides between 150-200 portions per pack and the spice blends provide 140-200 portions per pack, depending on portion size.
