Course & method
Ingredients
Akuri (Indian Spicy Scrambled Eggs)
Silky scrambled eggs infused with warm spices and fresh aromatics. The turmeric adds a earthy golden color while ginger and chilli provide warmth and complexity. Served with fresh coriander, this makes an excellent quick snack, elegant starter, or gourmet canapé topping.
Indian
Andhra Chicken Curry
Chicken thighs are marinated briefly with turmeric, ginger-garlic paste, yogurt and a pinch of red chilli. A dry-roast of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, coconut, fennel, coriander and dried red chillies is ground with a splash of water into a coarse paste. The base is built with shallots, curry leaves and tomato; the chicken is browned in stages; and the masala paste is folded in for the long, gentle simmer. Tamarind and a curry-leaf temper finish.
Indian
Authentic Chicken Handi
A rich, ghee-laden chicken handi cooked in the traditional style, featuring tender chicken thighs simmered in a spiced tomato-onion base with yoghurt and cream. Named for the handi pot, this dish varies by chef but delivers deep, authentic flavors.
Indian
Ayam Goreng (Malaysian Fried Chicken)
Bone-in chicken pieces are marinated with a freshly pounded spice paste of shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal, lemongrass and turmeric, then dipped in a thin egg and cornflour batter and shallow-fried until golden. The result is a deeply spiced, crackly-crusted fried chicken that picks up colour from the turmeric and depth from the toasted seeds. An overnight marinate is optional but rewards the wait.

Bánh Xèo Chay
Rice flour, turmeric, coconut milk and water make a thin yellow batter. Filling vegetables, mushrooms, sliced onion, tofu, are sautéed in a hot pan; the batter is poured over to form a thin pancake; beansprouts pile in last; the lot is folded in half and slides out crisp. Pieces are wrapped in lettuce with herbs and dipped in nuoc cham.
Vietnamese
Beef and Broccoli
Sliced beef velvets briefly in cornflour and soy, broccoli florets blanch to bright green, and the lot stir-fries hard with garlic and ginger in a soy-oyster-rice-wine sauce. Served over steamed rice.
Chinese
Beef in Oyster Sauce
A quick and elegant stir-fry that balances savoury oyster sauce with tender beef. This dish exemplifies the Chinese technique of high-heat cooking to seal flavours while keeping meat moist. Quality oyster sauce is essential, it should deepen the dish rather than dominate it.
Chinese
Beef Nasi Goreng
Indonesia's national fried rice, traditionally a way to put yesterday's leftovers to work and now a fixture from street stalls to weeknight kitchens. Beef mince keeps the cooking time short, while kecap manis, soy, shrimp paste and a crumbled stock cube layer the savouriness from four directions. The trick is pressing the rice into the wok and leaving it alone long enough to pick up a proper char before tossing.
Indonesian
Beef Pho
This dish works best with raw beef that has been sliced paper thin, as it cooks in seconds when placed in the hot broth.
Vietnamese
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. One of the characteristic foods of Minangkabau culture, it is served at ceremonial occasions and to honour guests. This rich, aromatic curry features beef slowly simmered in coconut milk and spices until deeply flavoured.

Biryani
Biryani represents the height of Indian culinary technique: multiple components prepared separately with precision, then assembled in layers where flavors permeate through steam cooking. This isn't a one-step rice dish; rather, it's an architectural construction where yogurt-marinated lamb develops tenderization and flavor, then cooks slowly with warm spices and tomato, while basmati rice is independently flavored with saffron infusion and whole spices. Upon assembly, the two elements marry through steam, creating a unified dish where lamb and rice are inseparable in flavor. Traditionally cooked during festivals and royal celebrations, biryani requires patience and multiple steps but rewards with sophistication.
Indian
Braised Prawns
A simple, elegant preparation favoured by street vendors throughout southern China. This quick-braising method takes only minutes and produces tender, fragrant prawns. The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity, fresh ginger and spring onions infuse the delicate sweetness of prawns. Equally delicious served hot immediately or chilled for an exotic picnic dish.
Chinese
Butter Chicken
A rich, creamy tomato-based curry with mild spice and buttery finish. A BIR-style adaptation of murgh makhani.
Indian
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
Cantonese BBQ Chicken
This is summer-BBQ adaptation of the lacquered red roast meats that hang in the windows of Cantonese siu mei shops. The marinade borrows from char siu (hoisin, soy, Shaoxing wine, five-spice, fermented bean curd, garlic, ginger) but pulls back on the sugar slightly because chicken does not need as much sweetness as pork shoulder. Bone-in skin-on thighs are the right cut: they stay juicy on the grill, the skin renders down and crisps, and the bones give the meat shape. A two-stage glaze does the rest. The thighs cook over indirect heat first to render the fat and set the meat, then move directly over the coals for the last few minutes while a honey-maltose mixture is brushed on repeatedly. Every brush of glaze caramelises, blackens slightly at the edges, then gets brushed again. The result is sticky-shiny with a smell that is half five-spice, half woodsmoke. Difficulty is low if you control your heat. A two-zone fire (one side coals piled high, the other side empty) is the only real requirement; on a gas grill, two burners on full and one off does the same job. Serve sliced over plain rice with sliced cucumber and a spoon of chilli oil, or stuffed into bao with hoisin and spring onion.
