Where will your taste buds take you tonight? Our selection of delicious curries hail from all over Asia, as well as the home-grown British favourite, Chicken Tikka Masala. Curries are simpler than you might think and it’s easy to experiment beyond simply unscrewing a tub of quick-fix curry powder. Once you’re kitted out with a range of spices, you’ll return to these delightful dishes time after time. One top tip from UKTV's Roopa Gulati, she says: try to buy your spices from a spice specialist or Indian supermarket – these spices are usually not toasted before packing; toasting them yourself gives a much deeper flavour.
