I adapted this dish from Nigella’s book Feast: because we could not find the lamb, we used beef; and I changed a few other details, small things. The flavours were fantastic, certainly one to repeat.
The amount of chili was just above my level; I had to make small breaks during eating because my mouth was on fire.
I made this dish twice already, and I can say that it really benefits from spending the night in the fridge, as many of the stews do.
This weekend, I cooked for a goodbye party for my boyfriend’s Indian colleague. We wanted to have all Indian mains, so I consulted one of my treasured Indian cookbooks, How to cook Indian. What I came up with is a menu I was really proud of, and from the guests’ reaction, the food was a hit.
