Mirchi Chicken Night
Mirchi translates from Hindi as 'chilli' and it's a key flavour in this popular restaurant curry, the cooking technique for which is based on a bhuna. The curry relies on the flavour of rich and intense whole Kashmiri chillies to make a paste, a touch of fiery teja chilli powder in the chicken marinade, and optional fresh green chillies for those who want even more of a kick! On the side we've got a simple vegetable rice, tarka dhal, moreish pea and potato samosas, a sweet onion relish and a cooling carrot raita (just in case you’ve overdone it with the chilli!).
