Had an amazing curry night with friends, fantastic choice of recipes to choose from. We opted for a prawn pathia and quorn butter chicken, with pilau rice and plenty of sides. Even whipped up some mango lassi, amazing and totally recommend to students!

Wow, what an impressive feast! Everything looks incredible- the patterned crockery is beautiful and what a treat making some Mango Lassi to wash it all down with. Student meals go legendary!

This is without a doubt our favourite recipe in the Curry Legend book! It’s so creamy and rich, and the flavours are that deep and fresh that it easily rivals that of a restaurant! I love that all of the recipes can be easily veganised - we used mock chicken and vegan butter here to create this delicious dish.

You can't go wrong with butter chicken, such a crowd-pleaser! Great job veganising this dish, Georgina - it looks delicious!

5/5

Butter Chicken, Garlic and Coriander Rice, Coriander Raita and of course Naan Breads. Absolutely delicious! Makes a midweek evening feel like Saturday night.

This all looks amazing, Robin - what a feast! Great job!
