My brother combined his curry legends recipes to cook up an Indian feast of chicken Tikka Masala, lamb Tikka Madras, saag aloo and homemade naan breads. All of which were amazing!

Wow sounds fantastic - looks like he's done a great job!

Cooked up a storm - including the mango chutney and homemade naan bread. Absolute winner for the first dish cooked from the curry legend book. Watch this space..

Wow - what a debut! This looks absolutely delicious, especially in your lovely Balti bowls and that gorgeous patterned plate for the naans. We'll certainly be watching this space, and can't wait to see what you make next from your Curry Legend book!

Also made butter chicken, saag aloo, peshwari naans, keema naans and pilau rice with peas. I’m loving my Saturday nights cooking amazing Indian food. Danny from Lockleaze.

Yum - this looks delicious, Danny, a real feast! Nice work!
