Rogan josh
This is my take on a warming Kashmiri style rogan josh curry that you might get in a classic British curry house. Mine is less brightly red, but has a richer flavour, brought out by cooking the meat with bones to draw out a meatier stock. You can tweak the heat levels yourself by increasing the chilli used if you are after a hotter flavour.
Tofu and coconut milk curry
I am often asked about vegetarian recipes that are quick and easy. This is one I came up with during National Vegetarian Week as a lightly spiced and simple way of making a balanced, Indian light supper. You can tweak the recipe by changing the tofu for Quorn if you prefer. It is based around a Keralan style of cuisine, light and with coconut milk.

Classic chicken balti
I like balti curries as for me they are a blend between Chinese stir fries and Indian curries - they are not really of course! Here's my take on chicken balti. It is actually not as bad as the list looks as it is really a case of putting all the ingredients together in a wok to stir fry.

Sweet Potato Dessert
Recipe by:
wiley
Sweet potatoes are sweetened with palm sugar and flavoured with fresh ginger in this Asian-style dessert. You can find palm sugar in major supermarkets or in Thai food shops. It gives a nice caramelly taste and appearance to the dish but if you can't find it easily - you could try using maple syrup or golden brown sugar instead.
