Whilst the word malai usually refers to the use of cream in Indian recipes, in this instance it’s thought that the curry is a Bengali version of the curries cooked by Malaysian traders trading throughout the Bay of Bengal and over the years the word Malay transliterated to malai. We’re serving the curry with some typical Bengali accompaniments - aloo matar posto (a potato and pea dish flavoured with poppy seeds), a green chilli pickle, simply cooked spinach and coriander and mint raita. Achari is the Bengali word for pickle and some of the leftover pickle paste is used to make some fantastic, flaky breads known as achari parathas.

We had this last night with friends round. It was absolutely amazing. We had chicken rather than prawns and it was stunning. The parathas in particular were outstanding.
This was a fantastic spice kit. Chilli pickle was flavoursome, spinach was lovely, Achari Parathas were fun to make and tasty to eat, curry and potato dish were also very tasty. We didn’t add as much chilli as the recipe said, as we had kids that have a lower tolerance but it was still great
Yum! Everything looks incredible plus the parathas look perfect!
