Murgir Jhol, one of Bangladesh’s favourite curries….

SERVES: 4

Refat, a guest cook through our charity connection with Bristol Refugee Rights, cooked this meal for us here at The Spicery and it was an instant favourite with the team! Murgir jhol is a classic Bangladeshi chicken and potato curry which is traditionally quite fiery, so we’re serving it here with a poppy seed and cucumber raita to cool it down.

On the side we’ve also got a charred green chilli and coriander chutney, fragrant rose-infused khichdi and delicious and moreish deep fried aubergine topped with tangy chaat masala.

Serves: 4
Heat Rating: 3/5
Prep time: 45 minutes

A couple of happy Friday Night Curry Discoverers here! We made a mistake chopping the aubergine too small but it fried up ok and tasted great thanks to the spices! The poppy seed made the raita extra special.

Looks like the perfect way to spend Friday night! It's two thumbs up from us at Spicery HQ- glad you really enjoyed this meal!

Another brilliant recipe box, chilli and coriander chutney was especially good. We made the murgir jhol with a selection of root veg and banana flower for a veggie version which was delicious. Great combination of flavours.

YUM everything looks fantastic- love the idea of using root veg and banana flower for a veggie version, one for us to try ourselves!
