About this deal

Really tasty as a roast, with juices tipped over, although juices were very salty (maybe slightly reduce the salt?

It began in Liverpool, where it blew away the critics, and quickly moved to Birmingham, where it has garnered legions of fans and an amazing following. Highlights such as the fiery gunpowder chicken and the rich Maa's lamb chops served on fried potatoes are comfortably in the Dishoom class.Nisha, a dedicated curry evangelist, has fond hopes for Mowgli's growth and she still hand trains each new Mowgli chef. This unique collection of recipes and stories from the Mowgli Street Food restaurants brings you the best of their beloved menu, and much more. Try "Chicken Chive Koftas" or "Spicy Coleslaw Chicken Bowl", "Speedy Lamb Curry" or "Tamarind Treacle-Glazed Pork", "Ginger Garlic Mussels" or "Popcorn Prawns", "Fridge Veg Curry" or "Rice Krispies Bel Puri", "Keema Toasties" or "Million-dollar Green Dahl". I found myself often going in to chat to the chefs, dipping the Fenugreek Kissed Fries into the sauce of the Tamarind Treacle Ribs.

I used not the best quality fish (supermarket batch frozen) and I had to make sure it was defrosted drained and dried throughly. In classic Mowgli style, founder of the restaurant chain Nisha Katona MBE, shows us how to make simple yet delicious meat-free meals packed with colour, excitement and oomph. Take your chapati and spoon on the Mowgli chutney, then carefully slide the cooked omelette out of the pan and on top of the chapati.

As per the other notes, I didn't have the tandoori masala paste (completely missed it on recipe), so used curry powder instead. Kati rolls were born in Kolkata and have become a popular street food that has started to spread further afield. This is how I cook my roast potatoes at home too, but with a sprinkling of brown sugar and garlic purée.

The simple and creative dishes of a Mowgli menu are a million miles away from the traditional takeaway. Try tempting snacks like the Fenugreek Kissed Fries, spice up your dinner with a whole host of delicious dahls, and indulge in desserts, drinks and cocktails from a Cardamom Custard Tart to a Sweet Delhi Diazepam. This is the food that real people want: tasty and nutritious meals they can whip up without fuss while juggling work and childcare in an often chaotic working-from-home environment. Squeeze as much of the liquid as you can from the tamarind and add to the first batch of tamarind water.In 2014, barrister Nisha Katona had a nagging obsession to build a restaurant serving the kind of food Indians eat at home and on the street. There are now 6 Mowgli restaurants around the UK, beloved for their fresh and tasty Indian home cooking (and famous Chip Butties). From showstopping slaws to the ultimate Aloo Ghabi, Mother Butter Chicken to Calcutta Tangled Greens, each dish truly catpures the smash-and-grab zing of Indian food. For a pretty pink colour, try to find a genuine Indian rose syrup (in the Asian aisles of supermarkets or in Indian grocers). When Nisha started sharing her ideas for a new cookery book encapsulating this approach on her Mowgli Instagram channel during the spring 2020 lockdown, she was thrilled by the hugely positive response.

Add the salt and sugar and finish by stirring the butter through to create a thick and creamy sauce. Make sure you cook longer as I think it would be easy to undercook as the gram batter looks done before it is. Pour enough boiling water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins, then cover the dish tightly with kitchen foil. The material is for general information only and does not constitute investment, tax, legal, medical or other form of advice.

This has some spice and whilst as deep and flavourful as the other it’s not creamy or soothing, but zingy, deep and intriguing. Aubergine/eggplant is India’s best-loved vegetable and the reason for this, my Maa and I reckon, is because it is the closest many Indians get to that meat texture.
