Beef Rendang
Rendang is a spicy meat dish which originated from the Minangkabau ethnic group of Indonesia, and is now commonly served across the country.

Butter Chicken
The BIR icon: tandoori-grilled chicken finished in a velvety tomato-onion sauce enriched with double cream, butter and a hit of garam masala at the end. Mildly spiced, lightly sweet, deeply savoury. The sauce is built on a paste of cooked onion, tomato and cashews / almonds, finished off-heat with cold butter for the signature gloss.
Indian
Caribbean Chicken Curry Stew
In many Caribbean stew dishes there is an initial step of burning sugar in oil which is used to brown the meat in. This adds a very unique sweetness to the stews from this region and this sweetness paired with the unmistakable flavour (and heat) from the wonderful scotch bonnet chilli is simply astounding. This curry uses curry powder for a fragrant and delicious result that captures the essence of Caribbean cooking.

Chicken and Peanut
When cooking Chinese food, it's essential to think about the flavours and textures of ingredients working in harmony. Juicy chicken combined with succulent baby corn, tender vegetables, and salty, crunchy cashew nuts create a balanced dish where each element complements the others. A glossy sauce ties everything together without overwhelming delicate flavours.
Chinese
Chicken Ceylon
A bright and spicy Sri Lankan-inspired curry with a curry-house spin, featuring aromatic spices, coconut, and fresh curry leaves. It works beautifully as a banquet dish and can be extra hot with extra bird’s eye chillies and chilli powder. The subtle sweet-tang tuning makes it a favorite with rice and mild dhal.
Indian
Chicken Chasni
A sweet and smooth British-Indian chasni that pairs best with tandoori chicken tikka. Balanced mango chutney, mint sauce, and tomato ketchup give this curry bright sweetness and tang, while cream and optional red colouring deliver the signature rich appearance.
Indian
Chicken Chilli Garlic
A bold, garlicky curry with a brisk curry-house kick. This jalfrezi-style dish uses plenty of fresh garlic, green chillies, and tandoori tikka, making it spicy but not overwhelming.
Indian
Chicken Dopiaza
A vibrant do-piaza curry based on layered onion textures and warming spices. This version uses both seared onion petals and a yoghurt-onion paste to build depth; the result is a rich, savoury, mildly tangy curry that works with pre-cooked stewed chicken or freshly poached chicken.
Indian
Chicken Jalfrezi
A curry-house jalfrezi inspired by a Balti House classic, featuring quick stir-fried peppers, chillies, onions and tender chicken in a light spiced sauce. It is traditionally dry and crisp, but can be adjusted for more sauce by adding extra base curry or stock.
Indian
Chicken Korma
A creamy, nutty British-Indian korma that uses both block coconut and coconut flour for depth and body. This curry is rich yet balanced, with mild heat and a hint of sweetness from sugar, banana and rose water. Serve with white rice and a mild dhal for the full experience.
Indian
Chicken Methi Curry
Fenugreek-forward chicken methi curry with a rich base sauce and a tangy cream finish. Fresh fenugreek leaves are ideal, but dried kasoori methi can provide the signature aroma, especially in supermarkets where fresh leaves are scarce. This curry is aromatic with anise notes and a subtle bitterness balanced by yoghurt.
Indian
Chicken Pathia
A British-Indian pathia curry with a sweet-and-sour profile, tuned for balanced acidity and a hint of chilli warmth. The recipe uses lemon, mango chutney and sugar for tang/sweetness, with optional red food colouring for the classic curry-house appearance.
Indian
General Tso’s Chicken
This iconic American-Chinese dish combines deep-fried chicken with a sweet, spicy, and slightly tangy sauce. General Tso's chicken exemplifies the bold flavours of outside China Chinese cooking, where heat from dried chillies, sweetness from sugar, and complexity from vinegar create a sauce that is bold yet balanced. Restaurant-quality results require proper oil temperature and crispy, well-coated chicken.
Chinese
Kashmiri Chicken
An aromatic curry-house classic that blends tandoori chicken with a sweet-spicy sauce of nuts, spices, banana and mango chutney. This dish is cooked quickly once the base sauce is ready, making it ideal for a flavorful weeknight meal or part of a banquet. Raisins add a pleasant sweetness and balance to the heat.
Indian
Kung Pao Shrimp
Kung pao (gongbao) shrimp is the seafood cousin of the classic Sichuan gongbao jiding, named for the 19th-century governor-general Ding Baozhen whose title was Gong Bao. Where the chicken version uses diced meat, the shrimp version keeps the prawns whole or halved so they curl into bright pink commas around the chillies and peanuts. The flavour profile is the signature Sichuan "lychee" balance: a touch of sweetness from sugar, sourness from black vinegar, salt and umami from soy, and the warm tingle (ma la) of toasted Sichuan peppercorn paired with the smoky bite of dried er jing tiao chillies. This is a fast dish, fundamentally a wok exercise: every ingredient must be prepped and lined up before the heat goes on, because once the chillies hit the oil you have maybe ninety seconds before everything is overcooked. Difficulty is moderate for a home cook with a working wok and high burner; the trick is keeping the chillies dark red and fragrant without scorching them black, and pulling the shrimp out the moment they curl. Served over plain rice it is one of the most rewarding ten-minute meals in the repertoire.
Chinese
Lamb Achari
A Punjabi-inspired achari curry featuring pickle spices like panch poran and dried chillies, balanced with sweet mango chutney and tangy lime pickle. This dish captures the essence of Indian pickles in a rich, flavorful lamb curry.
Indian
Lamb Bhuna
A restaurant-style bhuna using pre-cooked lamb for speed, while keeping the dry, intensely-flavoured finish. The classic bhuna technique is approximated with quick spice frying, and lamb is finished in a rich, reduced sauce.
Indian
Lamb Karahi
Cooked in a karahi (two-handled wok-like pan) over high heat: lamb chunks simmer with tomatoes, fresh ginger matchsticks and green chillies, with cracked black pepper and ground cumin going in late. No onion in the sauce. Punjabi origin, fiercely fresh-tasting, the antithesis of long-cooked British curry-house style.
Indian
Lamb Madras
A classic British curry-house madras with a sweet-and-sour profile, featuring tender lamb in a spicy, tangy sauce. This version balances heat from chillies and chilli powder with mango chutney and lime for a feast-worthy dish.
