Starters like deep-fried fish pakora served with chutney entice to begin an Indian feast; before classic curries like slow-roasted lamb bhoona with fenugreek leaves, ginger and fresh yoghurt, best enjoyed with coconut basmati rice, garlic naan and papadums. Delve into prawns with onion, tomato, ginger, garlic and garam masala and sides of steamed rice, butter naan and papadums; finish sweetly with kulfi and gulab jamun.
