Chicken Dak Bungalow with Potato Cutlets BBE 04/19
A rich chicken curry from the British colonial era in India…
The ‘dak’ system was a method of message delivery used during British rule of India - to get messages to and from far-to-reach outposts, people or horses would relay between posts known as dak bungalows. As they were often in between towns and villages, they included a small holding and would keep chickens and sheep and grow their own veg so that they were relatively self-sufficient. This curry is typical of the type of Anglo-Indian cuisine that would have been cooked using the basic ingredients available. We’re serving it with another Anglo-Indian favourite - breadcrumbed potato ‘cutlets’ - a tangy tamarind chutney, fiery chilli pickle and gobi matar - a simple dish of cauliflower and peas.

I honestly don't know whether I made a mistake during the cooking because that was the first spicery box that we did not enjoy at all. The potato cakes were allright but the rest lacked spice and taste. Sorry :-/
Delicious. The instructions were easy to follow. A lovely balanced meal with fresh tasting spices
