TOM’S TAKEAWAY
Treat the family to BBC chef and Good Food Podcast host Tom Kerridge’s favourite Indian-inspired menu photographs JONATHAN GREGSON
We’re blessed to have some fantastic Indian restaurants. The chefs are like alchemists, combining spices to make new, beautifully balanced flavours. But, whenever I eat something I love, I won’t sit still until I’ve got to the bottom of what makes it so amazing and I’m happy with my own version. Always being open to new ideas and techniques is how you keep things fresh and evolve your cooking, whether that’s at home or in a restaurant. So, here’s my desert island Indian-inspired menu – it’s what I cooked at home when all the restaurants had to close during lockdwon in 2020. All of it can be made ahead, and I made most of it based on what I had available in the kitchen. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. - Tom
