Indulge in a Chaat! Recipe, you know it makes sense.


When we embark on a culinary journey we offer all of our senses to be tampered with. The five senses are tickled, shaken and intruded upon through no fault but our own; if we love curry then this is the price we have to pay.

Sometimes we feel that completing a recipe is strenuous work, having to stay focused and attentive throughout the whole preparation, cooking and serving process. With family members interfering, phones ringing and door bells buzzing the notion of constructing this authentic curry appears a million miles away from the kitchen you are stood in.

It is for this reason that we as westerners are so used to simply contacting our local BCC curry house and ordering what we want. But stay with it! Recreating a dish is so much more than simply cooking up a curry, it is the experience of seeing the recipe through to the end that Chaat! encourages you to experience.

Sight – When you first set eyes on the picture of that beautiful dish in Chaat! Magazine you wonder if you are equipped with the right tools and admonition to conquer the curry! It looks beautiful but you  cant help but second guess your ability.

Sound – The sound of the boiling veg of sizzling meat makes your stomach rumble and engages you with a want to continue and be a success at the chosen culinary delight.

Touch- You prod the meat and veg to see if its cooked, always being surprised that the food that has been cooking in boiling water is hot!

Smell – We may sneeze uncontrollably when adding pepper into the mix but it is all worth it in the end. The beautiful aromas that fill the kitchen entice other members of the family, leaving them slightly hypnotised as they begin to make their way to the kitchen for a snoop.

Taste – Sit down with your family or alone with a Kingfisher and immerse in the glories of your dish. The outcome is a product of your capability and enables you to showcase your curry cookery talents.
