MIF Feast: Camellia Panjabi

Camellia Panjabi

CAMELLIA and NAMITA PANJABI  together with Ranjit Mathrani (Namita’s husband) run Masala World, which is one of Britain’s leading businesses specialising in real Indian food. Masala World owns three fine-dining restaurants – Chutney Mary, Veeraswamy and Amaya – and the casual dining group, Masala Zone. Camellia Panjabi’s authoritative book on Indian cooking called 50 Great Curries of India has sold over a million copies.

Camellia and Namita Panjabi’s Rogani Murg, prepared by Zouk Tea Bar & Grill, Chester Street, off Oxford Road.

Rogani Murg is a slow cooked home style chicken curry using traditional north Indian spices. The layers of taste are built up slowly as you cook out each ingredient to release taste and then add another flavour. This involves the slow caramelisation of onion and tomato. It is the chicken version of rogan josh.

Contains: Chicken, tomatoes, chicken stock, garam masala, yoghurt, ginger and garlic.
