Sauce Facts
The people of the Northern province of Punjab love big flavours and their dishes are often packed with onion, ginger, garlic, tomatoes and warming pipe.

This curry, which has been adapted from my mother's cherished chicken curry recipes, is a beautiful, harmonious sauce which reflects the best of Punjab's gutsy flavours.

It is such a versatile sauce. It can be used as the basis for a large variety of different dishes, so be adventurous with the ingredients you add!
