Lina Gautam's Spicy Lamb Salad (Choila)

This is a very popular dish in Monty's of Kathmandu and all over Nepal. The dish originated in the Kathmandu Valley around the capital city in the centre of Nepal. Choila is traditionally eaten with flat or puffed rice and is served at roadside bars in Kathmandu with rakshi (homemade spirit not unlike grappa). In Nepal, this is usually made with buffalo or goat. The Nepalese also love their whiskey and beer, and wine is growing in popularity now also. We almost never drink alcohol without food and a plate of choila, kachela (Nepalese lamb tartare) or spiced nuts.

Buttered Chicken (Arun's Murgh Oudhi)

My version of the ever-popular creamy chicken, Murgh Makhani. We've based this recipe on a dish my father's good friend used to enjoy whilst at college in Lucknow (Oudh). Bizarrely enough, this particular recipe uses cheese for added richness, an ingredient used in more opulent, banqueting dishes the rich Northern Indian Nawabs encouraged their chefs to prepare for them. Fresh cardamoms, creamy sauce, simple cooking... beautiful!

Roots Vindaloo

A wonderfully fragrant sweet, sour type dish from Goa, to the south of India with a distinct peppery perfume. This region's cooking is heavily influenced by the Portuguese, so the Vindaloo is more about vinegar ('vin') and garlic ('alho') than pure hot, heat. The chillies reflect Goa's penchant for a little extra kick. Here's a vegetarian version, every bit delicious as the traditional pork.

Lina Gautam's Chicken Pulao: Today

I grew up enjoying this simple but tasty rice dish which my mom used to make now and then when she was in a good mood. This is a very simple dish to impress your guests instead of plain rice with some side dishes or relish. It is a very wholesome and tasty dish which you can easily enjoy on its own as your simple dinner.

Lina Gautam's Tomato Chutney: Today

This is a very popular dish which goes very well with pilau rice. I use this as a bread or wrap spread for cheese and ham sandwiches which gives that extra flavour and variation to the ordinary sandwich! You can even use this dish as a sauce for your pasta or spaghetti.

Chicken Lahori

This is a very colourful dish from India, which is not at all hot but extremely full of flavour. It should marinate in its topping for about an hour before cooking and should not be cooked ahead of time. This can also be made with chicken joints and the marinade equally divided. It is best to buy either breast or thigh joints for this method, but keep cooking time to 90 minutes.

Neven Maguire's Chicken Tikka Masala

Nevan Maguire says, "This has to be the most popular curry in the world! There is always a debate about the exact origins of the recipe, but it's certainly not an authentic Indian curry and is most likely a result of the curry devised for Western palates in the first Indian."
