An old favourite from Madhur Jaffrey’s ” Quick and Easy Indian Cookery.” If you dont have a pressure cooker you can use an ordinary pan. Add 6 fl oz water and cook covered for 50 minutes before uncovering and boiling down the liquid.
A creamy and lightly spiced curry from Columbo to serve with rice or bread. The recipe is from Das Sreedharan, chef/ owner of Rasa restaurants. I found it in the book ” Curry” which includes recipes from a number of chefs and is published by Dorling Kindersley.
These spicy scrambled eggs make a simple and delicious breakfast and can be served with chappatis or toast as you prefer. The recipe is from ” Ammu” by Asma Khan.
A warming vegetarian supper inspired by Thai jungle curry from ” Dominique’s Kitchen” by Dominique Woolf. Serve with rice, and extra chillies if wished.
Another recipe from ” Ammu” by Asma Khan. The gravy is quite thick so its very good served with rotis, but you can also serve it with rice. It can also be made with lamb or beef, but you need to extend the marinating and cooking times.
A Bengali dish from Asma Khan’s ” Ammu” whicj is served with rice and dal. You need to use standard white potatoes, not new potatoes or floury ones. If you cant find small prawns use larger ones and cut them into 1 cm pieces.
A very good way with this vegetable from Abel & Cole ” How to Eat Brilliantly Every Day”. If you like you can fold the grated veg through the warm oil while it is still in the pan.
A classic South African recipe which is good served with a Tomato and Onion Salad. Any leftover filling will be even more delicious the next day served with rice or salad.
