We caught up with Ranvir Singh, a former Masterchef Semi Finalist in 2015, who is well known for his authentic and flavour-packed curries and Indian cuisine.
“I’ve had lot of friends ask me how to make a decent curry during lockdown. And to be honest, a lot of the best curries I make do involve spices and techniques that many would struggle with. However, after digging through my notebooks (and there are many!) I found a recipe that I think is simple to make and tastes amazing.” said Ranvir.
The ‘karahi’ dish is famous in Pakistan. As many of you may know, the word ‘karahi’ refers solely to the cast iron pot that the dish is traditionally cooked and served in.
“This does mean that the dish has been made a little generic in restaurants and takeaways across Britain – which is a shame. Hopefully this recipe will let people sample the real thing and it’s so easy to make, so maybe a lot of you will continue to make it after the lockdown ends!” Ranvir adds.
Ranvir’s Top Tips: “I prefer to eat this dish with naan but its equally great with rice. I’m not going to go into the making of naan or rice here but if you are not experienced in making either then just buy some ready-made naans and the pre-made basmati rice that can be heated up in the microwave. It’s simple and easy.
Because this dish is quite rich, I like to eat it with a simple fresh onion salad. It’s really easy to make and I’ve included the ingredients and method below.”
