Pepper Masala (4)

This Pepper Masala is a lovely contrast to more spicy dishes served as part of an Indian meal. Its from ” Fresh Flavours of India ” by Das Sreedharan.

Sri Lankan Chicken Curry (4)

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.

Tellicherry Chicken Curry (4)

A wonderful Keralan chicken curry from Das Sreedharan, owner of Rasa.

Prawn and Pumpkin Curry (4-6)

A subtle South Indian curry from Das Sreedharan which goes well with Tamarind Rice or Indian breads such as Paratha. He recommends using white pumpkin if this is available, but any variety will work well.

Black Eyed Beans with Tomatoes and Spinach (4)

A refreshing and light dish from Das Sreedharan, chef and owner of the Rasa restaurant chain . Be careful not to overcook the tomatoes. Serve with plain rice or chapatti.

Tamarind Rice (4)

Tamarind Rice is a speciality of the high caste Brahmin people of Tamil Nadu and a high popular dish in Das Sreedharan’s Rasa chain of restaurants. The recipe is from his book “Fresh Flavours of India.”

Keralan Egg Roast (4)

An easy egg curry from ” Fresh Flavours of India ” by Das Sreedharan. When i lived in Stoke Newington I had two of his Rasa restaurants within a 15 minute walk. Although I didn’ t eat there often ( what a missed opportunity…) I can honestly say it was the best South Indian food I have ever eaten in the UK. I serve this with a spinach curry alongside and some rice or naan.

Prawn Fry (4)

Another recipe from Das Sreedharan which is very easy to make at home.

Prawn and Tomato Curry (4-6)

A Keralan recipe from Das Sreedharan. When i lived in Stoke Newington I was very fortunate to have two of his restaurants within walking distance. The first was wholly vegetarian, and the second included some meat and fish. I would alternate between the two, but the crab curry at Rasa Travancore was well worth getting messy fingers. Now I live in Bristol I haven’t yet found an Indian restaurant to equal these two, although I am sure there is one out there somewhere!

Crab Curry (4)

A little messy to eat, but this recipe from Das Sreedharan is well worth the effort.

Potato Curry (4)
