Chef's tip
This is a gorgeous sweet-and-sour spin on the classic potato and cauliflower curry, aloo gobi. This balti version is good and saucy, so serve with a stack of chapatis. delicious. tip: This is one of those dishes that reheats really well the following day. A night in the fridge will add to the flavour but is likely to dry it out a bit, so add a little vegetable stock and microwave until piping hot.
Wine Recommendation
Lighter styles of Chardonnay will be good here. Try to find one that says it is unoaked or lightly oaked on the label.
