Chicken Tikka Masala, the British national dish since 2001, is the most delicious fusion of East and West. First we marinate the chicken in a delicate marinade of yoghurt, ginger, lemon juice and lots of spices and then grill it over a high flame. Then it is gently cooked in a mild, creamy tomato-cashew sauce, which we season with honey, fenugreek and mace.

The chickpeas, rich in fibre and nutrients, are gently cooked in a sauce of tomatoes, caramelised onions, fresh coriander and ginger. But the game changer is our homemade spice blend of fennel seeds, fenugreek, turmeric and dried mango. Warming, aromatic, incredibly tasty and healthy. The best chickpea curry outside the London Borough of Southall.

Rich vegetarian soul food! We cook this savoury, velvety dal with Beluga lentils, which are particularly rich in protein. We first roast the many spices - Ayurveda style - before cooking the lentils with them in a light tomato sauce which is finished with plenty of butter. The slow simmering on low heat for 24 hours gives this dish its special depth of flavour.

A spicy chicken curry inspired by the South Indian community in the London borough of East Ham. We marinate the chicken in an aromatic South Indian marinade before cooking it through in a rich sauce of shredded coconut, tomatoes, star anise, cardamom and chillies.

Paneer is a wonderfully tender, traditional Indian grilling cheese that is little known in Europe – entirely unjustified. We simmer this firm and delicious paneer slowly in a mild sauce of tomatoes and cashew nuts, which we refine with our own spice blend. One taste and you´ll be hooked.
