Anjali Pathak recipes for National Curry Week



National Curry Week has just kicked off so I thought I'd share these recipes with you that have been specially created by Anjali Pathak. I'll be giving them a go as soon as I get a chance so I'll come back and tell you how they went. For tonight, I made a Sunday Roast-Gan Josh (!) with the leftovers from yesterday's roast pork and a jar of Rogan Josh paste - more about that in a second, but for now, here are Anjali's recipes.
