Murg Mussalam – Old Delhi-Style Chicken Curry
Great for grand celebrations, this is the king of Indian dishes. My version makes it even more interesting by using raw rice in the cavity of the chicken, which cooks at the same time as the bird.

Hyderabadi-Style Biryani of Chicken
Often referred to as ‘black magic’, most cooks find it bewildering that raw meat can be layered with partially cooked rice in a pot and cooked with a closed lid – and still result in a dish where the meat cooks just right and the rice is fluffy and not overcooked. Cooking with a sealed pot with no visibility requires a deep connection to the ingredients and a leap of faith! Even though I have been making biryanis for over 25 years, I still get butterflies waiting for the pot to be opened to see how it’s turned out.

Fiery Rajasthani Lamb Curry
As the name suggests, this is a very hot dish – not for weak constitutions. It’s one of the few Indian dishes that contains heat in both senses – it’s 'chilli hot' and 'spice hot'. But you can choose the amount of heat you'd like: discard most of the seeds from the chillies if you want to reduce the heat, or keep them in if you want it really hot.

King Prawns In Saffron Almond Sauce
Originally referred to as jhinga nisha, this prawn curry is mild, aromatic and fragrant. Containing cardamom, almond paste and saffron, the sauce is luxuriously rich and silky. Fit for feasts, this is one of the finest examples of Mughlai cooking.

Jackfruit Masala
Jackfruit is a truly versatile vegetable, with a wonderful flavour and texture. It’s sometimes known as ‘vegetarian meat’ because it contains lots of fibre. This jackfruit masala is simple and delicious.

Kadai Tofu
Kadai dishes are very popular in India. This one’s all about the spice mix, which is made with coriander seeds, whole red chillies, cumin seeds, fennel seeds and black pepper. If you don’t have a kadai, you can use a wok or any other pan.

This traditional spicy lamb curry comes from the desert state of Rajasthan and has a pungent sauce, with aromas from all the whole spices and heat from the deep red Kashmiri chilli. It’s a must-try for anyone who loves Indian food.
