This is a classic curry recipe; it is absolutely wonderful and easy to make. Tarka simply refers to the few ingredients fried up and stirred in at the end; most Indian lentil dishes are made this way.

A kofta was traditionally a meatball, but the vegetarian masses of India soon started to make their own versions. These tasty koftas are light, fluffy and absolutely delicious with this full-bodied, lightly spiced sauce serve them with pilaf or Naan.

This is a beautiful, full-flavoured, creamy dish that hails from the Christians of Kerala. It is known as ishtu, a word that is a derivation of ‘stew’, because this is a naturally-fused dish of east and west. There are lots of spices, but the flavours have been mellowed by coconut.

This korma is lovely and creamy but light enough so as to not overpower the vegetables, which stand proud.

Rogan josh is a world-famous lamb dish from Kashmir, but has morphed quite a bit along the way, always remaining spicy, rich and very flavourful. Kashmiri dried chillies are known for the deep red colour and are mild. I serve this with Spinach and Dill Raita, naan or flatbreads.

This simple, everyday main course is packed with fresh vegetables and protein. It's only lightly spiced, so as not to overpower the spinach, and goes well with rice, breads and a little yoghurt.

Birmingham is known for its baltis, rich tomato-and yogurt-based curries that can contain almost anything. This is Anand’s chicken balti, with lots of green chillies giving flavour as well as heat.

I think barbecues are the best way of entertaining in summer if you have a garden, and are great for getting flavour into vegetables. Here is a lovely, easy marinade to get you started. You can grill any vegetable, this is just a list of those I enjoy with the spicy marinade.
