We're delighted that Anjum Anand is joining us for a webchat about Indian food on Thursday 20 March between midday and 1pm.

Anjum grew up in London and has presented two series of BBC TV's Indian Food Made Easy and written five bestselling books and now has her own internationally stocked range of Indian sauces, chutneys and pickles, The Spice Tailor. Anjum Anand is on a mission to bring Indian food up to date. Very health-conscious herself, she is constantly working to bring down the fat content of Indian food, creating lighter, fresher dishes with all the rich, spicy flavours of the subcontinent.

Anjum's latest book Anjum's Quick and Easy Indian shows how we can all create a delicious curry in just 20 minutes, and provides tips on stocking your cupboards with time-saving 'cheat' ingredients and a plethora of hints on how to make cooking Indian at home as easy as possible, while the 'Take One' feature shows you how to make three great meals from just one store cupboard ingredient.

Join Anjum on Thursday at lunchtime or post a question in advance to this thread. Everyone who joins the webchat will be entered into a draw to win a SIGNED copy of Anjum's Quick and Easy Indian.

[quote zipzap] I just wondered if you had any tips on making a great (but simple!) Bombay Potatoes - they're dh's favourite and although I keep trying to make them I never really get it right. I've managed all sorts of random potato curries, which are nice most of the time! but it would be fantastic to surprise him a dish of proper homemade Bombay Potatoes!

I've got a pretty good selection of Indian spices to use at as I like to cook things from fresh rather than use ready-made sauces or jars of stuff.

Thank you so much! Thanks

Hi, i do a great Bombay Potato recipe in Anjum's Indian Vegetarian Feast. Mumset is posting a link for you. x[/quote]

Here's a link to Anjum's Bombay Pototo recipe

Can we ask a question from MNHQ - what is your never-fail recipe that you back to time and time again that can be used for family meal or last minute dinner party?

[quote LoveBeingCantThinkOfAName] My dh has discovered cooking, and made his first curry a few weeks ago. He loves chana can you recommend a easy but lovely recipe to encourage him?

I'd forgotten about your series will defo try to find some repeats for him to watch.

There is a really great channa (chickpea) recipe in I Love Curry, which i taught to a class of 12yr old boys and they all loved cooking and eating it. Mumsnet posting a link for you. Also, there is also a Mile High Chickpea burger in Anjum's Vegetian Feast. I hope he enjoys them x[/quote]

We've found the recipe here Tangy Chickpea Curry

I suppose the curry we always had as a family was chicken curry. It is in a couple of my books (Punjabi Chicken Curry in Anjum;s New Indian and also in I Love Curry) as it is the best chicken curry and reminds me of my childhood. Great with Indian breads but also with toast. I talk with experience as my friends and i would always raid the fridge for leftovers at the end of an evening out and toast some bread to go with it. Divine. I will see if MUmsnet can find a link. xx[/quote]
