Chicken Kabab (6-8)

These Kababs can be cooked on a barbecue or grilled indoors. The chicken could also be cooked without skewers spread out on a foil covered baking tin under a preheated medium grill. The recipe is from ” Ammu” by Asma Khan and she recommends serving them with her Spinach with Spiced Yoghurt and her Special Potatoes.

Prawn Croquettes (8)

Another favourite from Bengal which I found in Asma Khan’s ” Ammu”. With British and Portuguese influences recipes like this would have originated as railway meals for the colonial elite, but later spread to the general public.

Skate with Warm Green Salsa (2)

This is from Delia Smith’s ” Summer Collection”, a book i suspect many of us have had on our shelves at one time or another judging by the number of copies I now see in second hand shops. I like to eat this with chips or mashed potatoes. The sauce goes well with any fried fish.
