Lamb and Butter Bean Curry

Chicken Curry

I made this recipe because I love curry. I also love cooking with coconut milk because It gives dishes a complex and deep flavor that is unmatched. This is not a recipe for an authentic chicken curry that lends itself to any specific geographical location, instead, this is a recipe that combines all the things […]

Roasted Shallot and Mint Chutney

Though our Oven-Roasted Chicken Thighs recipe makes for a tasty meal in itself, we found that an accompanying sauce is a great way to jazz it up. Starting with shallots gave our Roasted Shallot and Mint Chutney recipe a mellow oniony flavor, and mint and cilantro offered freshness.

Curried Lentil, Tomato, and Coconut Soup

This recipe calls for medium curry powder, but it’s flexible. If the one you have is mild or very spicy, adjust the heat level with more, or less, red pepper flakes.

Pear & Cardamom Caramel Upside-Down Cake

The winds are changing and autumn is in the air, which means pears are now in season. This warming, comforting cake makes the most of these gems and is just right for this time of year. The pears get softened by the aromatic, cardamom-infused caramel sauce, and the almond-scented sponge with a hint of orange […]

Fenugreek & Gram Flour Flatbreads

Flatbreads, also known as roti or chapatti, make a great accompaniment to any of the curries in this book. They are also terrific as a snack with some pickle or chutney, or used as wraps for your favorite fillings or some chutney and salad. They are handy to have for picnics and packed lunches, too. […]

Fish Curry

This fragrant tomato-and-coconut curry with pieces of flaky white fish is a staple at chef Meherwan Irani’s dinner table. At home, he likes to make double or triple batches of the coconut milk curry (see his recipe for All-Purpose Coconut Curry here) and freeze it in two-cup portions. Then, when he’s ready for dinner, all […]

Grilled Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori Chicken is a dish that I have had countless times at Indian restaurants. It’s probably a dish that all of us have had many times. Whether it is at a buffet or made to order, Tandoori Chicken always seems to be on the menu, but it is DEFINITELY not always good!I have had […]

Hot and Spicy Coconut Prawns

I’m warning you – this is a hot one! But, of course, you can reduce the quantity of chillies to suit your taste. The fresh prawns and big pieces of coconut are a match made in heaven. Curry leaves and fennel seeds also help give this dish a unique flavour. Perhaps best of all, […]

Kashmiri Lamb Rogan Josh

Slow-cooked lamb curry with ginger, chilli, yoghurt and saffron. The list of ingredients in my recipe is small (relatively – I love that!) but those with a very distant flavor. In the olden days it was said that ‘Ratan jog’ was used in the dish. A herb from the region of Kashmir; ground down to […]

Spiced Chickpea Stew With Coconut and Turmeric

Spiced chickpeas are crisped in olive oil, then simmered in garlicky coconut milk for an insanely creamy, basically-good-for-you stew that evokes stews found in South India and parts of the Caribbean. While the chickpeas alone would be good as a side dish, they are further simmered with stock, bolstered with dark, leafy greens of […]
