SMOKY AUBERGINE MASH If you’re in the mood for a tasty side dish that you can dip naan bread in, look no further than this smoky aubergine mash that is set to become your favourite dinner party treat. As a bonus, you can add some herb-filled yoghurt to really enhance the flavours.
COCONUT VEGETABLE CURRY You truly cannot celebrate Diwali without curry, and we reckon that this vegetarian dish is sure to be a crowd favourite. Packed to the brim with spices and crispy curry leaves on top, this veggie curry is sure to satisfy even the most hardened meat-lover.
POTATO CAKES WITH CHICKPEA CHAAT It’s no secret that we love potato cakes, but these are definitely a heightened version of the deep-fried classic. Known as one of India’s favourite street foods, these potato cakes are not only easy to make but they also pack a bit of a punch – since they’re placed on a bed of spiced chickpeas and chilli.
RICOTTA-STUFFED CHARD AND CHICKPEA CURRY Now for something a bit more decadent – but still healthy! Another crowd-pleaser for vegetarians and omnivores alike, we have high hopes that this recipe will become the showstopping dish that all your mates won’t stop badgering you to make for them again.
