Tips

  • Tarka Dhal with a twist

    When you are boiling your lentils for your dhal try adding half a lemon. Once the lentils are cooked discard it and continue as normal. This will give your dhal a tangy intense flavour.

  • Fish Curry

    How to use Rafi's Curry packs to create a traditional Fish Curry. If using fish we recommend a firm white fish such as halibut, monkfish or ling. Any good fishmonger should suggest the best seasonal fish to use. Cook the curry pack as instructed without adding the fish. On the following day re heat the sauce add the fish and poach gently for 5-10 minutes or untill the fish is cooked. Serve immediately. Great with Patia or Mulligatianni.
