CHEF'S RECIPE
Lamb Rogan Josh
How we cook it: lamb shoulder is browned in ghee with whole spices (bay leaf, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon), then simmered with fried onion paste, ginger-garlic, Kashmiri chilli for colour without harsh heat, and whisked yogurt added off the heat so it never splits. Fennel and dried ginger powder go in next, then the pot is sealed and cooked low for about 90 minutes until the lamb is fork-tender and the oil separates on top. Finished with a pinch of garam masala.
CHEF'S RECIPE
Sharshe Ilish (Mustard Hilsa)
How we cook it: fresh Hilsa steaks are lightly seasoned with turmeric and salt. Yellow and black mustard seeds are freshly ground with green chilies into a fine paste. Simmered in authentic cold-pressed mustard oil with nigella seeds (kalo jeere) and whole green chilies until the distinctive aroma fills the air.

CHEF'S RECIPE
Fish Biriyani
How we cook it: firm fish steaks are marinated in yogurt, turmeric, chilli, ginger-garlic and lemon, then lightly pan-seared so they hold their shape. Basmati rice is par-boiled with whole spices to about 70%. We layer the seared fish with fried onions (beresta), mint, coriander, saffron milk and ghee, seal the pot with dough and cook on dum over a low flame for 15-20 minutes so the rice finishes in the fish’s own steam.

CHEF'S RECIPE
Seafood Fried Rice
How we cook it: day-old cooked basmati is chilled so the grains stay separate. Prawns, squid and fish cubes are seared hard in a smoking wok with garlic and ginger for 60-90 seconds and set aside so they don’t overcook. Egg is scrambled in the same wok, then the rice goes in over high heat with a splash of light soy and oyster sauce, white pepper and a touch of sesame oil. The seafood returns at the very end with spring onion and a squeeze of lime.
