Malaikari

মালাইকারি

Malaikari is Bengal's most indulgent curry: silky, golden and gently sweet with coconut milk, rich with ghee, and saved for the days that deserve it. Ask any Bengali and they'll tell you chingri malaikari, with big prawns, is the one to beat.

Ours follows the recipe from our restaurant kitchens: coconut milk, cashew and pure ghee, warmed with green cardamom and garam masala. It's creamy and mellow, the kind of gravy you keep spooning over your rice.

Empty the 150 g pouch into a pan with 120 ml of water, add 250 g of the protein you love and simmer over a medium flame until cooked through. Prawns are the classic; chicken, fish and paneer are lovely too. It serves two, with steamed rice.
