Garam Masala Potato Gratin. The creamy sauce gets a boost of flavour from warming garam masala. I use both regular potatoes & sweet potatoes. It’s not 🌶️ spicy but has a gentle, aromatic heat which is oftentimes just what’s needed.

Not Daal Makhani, but Gujarati-style Urad. Another, lesser-known preparation of black lentils. Loads of garlic but otherwise very simple, with only a handful of spices added. 30 mins to make in the pressure cooker and so creamy, even with no cream.

Khandvi. Addictive savoury rolls made with gram flour and yoghurt. The trick is to spread the batter thinly and evenly. This popular snack from Gujarat is finished with a tempering of mustard seeds, chillies, curry leaves and asafoetida. Coriander and coconut on top.

In my family we call these Packed Potatoes. They’re a style of bhajiya (pakora) popular in East African Indian communities. Each consists of a spud that’s been split and sandwiched back together with a 🔥chilli and lemon chutney. They’re also known as Atomic Bombs.
