An easy gently spiced curry, fragrant with coconut milk and spice, from ” The Art of the Larder” by Claire Thompson. Serve with brown or white rice and a jarred Indian pickle or chutney. Cook as many eggs as you would like to serve.
A delicious paneer recipe to make at home from ” Romy Gill’s India ” by Romy Gill. She says its also a great choice for packed lunches or summer picnics: cut a pitta in half, turn each half into a pocket and fill with paneer to enjoy with pickled onions and salad on the side. She also suggests you can eat this paneer in a wrap, along with sliced onions and the chutney of your choice.
This is from ” Madhur Jaffreys Indian Cookery” which was published in 1982 to accompany her series on BBC 2. This was the first recipe book I bought and i still have my now very stained and dog eared copy. This is an everyday vegetable dish from the state of Gujerat which goes with any Indian meal but is also a good accompaniment to pork chops. The ingredients are readily available in supermarkets now but back then many could only be sourced in specialist Indian groceries.

A great way with white cabbage from one of my favourite cookbooks , ” Mowgli Street Food” by NIsha Katoona. She finally opened the Bristoil branch of this restaurant chain about 6 months ago, but I have yet to eat there.
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.
