This is my favourite recipe from Skinnymixers‘ first book, A Little Taste of India. You can take the girl away from the UK’s national dish, but you can’t take the curry out of the girl.
The recipe was designed for a Thermomix, and I have adapted the method for CC users. The recipe looks long and complicated but I assure you it’s not. The most time consuming bit is weighing out all the spices. To combat this and allow time to rest / multi task during the cooking stages I advise you to weigh and prepare everything prior to starting.
