Make Your Indian Your Own

With takeaways, as with life, it's the little things that really make it. While a COOK Indian takeaway is really all you need for a classic curry night, personalising it is easy: throw some fresh coriander or pomegranate seeds on top or, if you’ve gone for something spicy like the jalfrezi, stir in some fresh yoghurt. Done. But if your ambitions stretch a little further than that, here are some simple (and a few not-so-simple) flourishes that will turn your COOK takeaway into a banquet fit for a Bollywood star.
Mango Lassi recipe -
If you don’t fancy a cold beer, this is a classic drink for a curry night. At its simplest, it’s just equal parts yoghurt and ripe mango blended together, but we have a few suggestions as to how you create your own signature lassi. (And, come on, who doesn’t want to do that?)
Difficulty rating: easy peasy to so-so.
Malai Kulfi recipe -
A traditional kind of Indian ice cream, this is a perfect way to cool down after a spicy feast. You can make it the night before C-Day and keep it in the fridge.
Difficulty rating: so-so.
Shrikhand recipe -
Another cracking Indian pudding and a great way to finish off your curry night.
Difficulty rating: so-so.
Raita recipe -
Perfect as a dip for pappadams or on top of your curry of choice, this recipe is about as complicated as gin & tonic; you could knock up this raita before the pinger goes on the microwave.
Difficult rating: easy peasy.
Onion Bhaji recipe -
There’s nothing like a hot onion bhaji with a squeeze of fresh lemon. All onions dream of ending up like this.
Difficulty rating: tricksy.
Bombay Potatoes recipe -
We're duty-bound to point out that we do actually make these and they are a mainstay of the COOK Indian range. But, if you fancy having a go making them yourself, we’re sharing our secret (well, secret-ish) recipe.
Difficulty rating: tricksy.
