Bhaji Man Curry Kits

General information

Don Lear is 'The Bhaji Man'. A successful Norfolk-based, businessman, Don has drawn on his personal passion for cooking to produce culinary products which allow even the most inexperienced cook to serve great tasting authentic Eastern home-made dishes.

When Sri Lankan-born Don arrived in England as a young man, he had just £7 in his pocket. The cricket-mad youngster started at the bottom in the motor trade and worked his way up to owning several successful and award-winning East Anglian car dealerships.

Don became a member of the MCC and his business success enabled him to offer financial sponsorship to his beloved sport, including setting up Kwik Cricket in schools and funding some of the Norfolk Youth Development Cricket Programme. His active involvement in youth development for disabled children and those with special needs led to him being invited to become a Lord's Taverner.

Always a great food lover, when he stepped down from his dealership businesses he found he was spending more time developing his love of Indian cooking and often invited all the neighbours round to try out his dishes. Tasty onion bhajis were a favourite with his guests and Don soon became known as 'The Bhaji Man'.

As he perfected his recipes, he hit on the idea of Bhaji Man mixes - carefully pre-prepared products made from the finest quality, freshest ingredients which take only minutes to prepare. Even though retired, with another business opportunity on his hands Don was tempted back to work and he decided to set up Bhaji Man Easy Mixes to help fund his grandsons' pre-school and sporting activities.
