Sweet Potato Curry Recipe
This recipe is brought to us by Greens of Grasmere.
Whilst we all enjoy a visit to the local Indian, it would appear that it isn’t only curry houses that are serving up the nation’s favourite dish.

Karahi (Khorai, Karai, Korai)
The Karahi curry is a spicy dish and is a particular favourite in Northern India and Pakistan. It is related to the Balti and both are stir fried dishes.
There is no single agreed recipe for a Karai curry as it is more a style of cooking (stir frying in a Karai – there are lots of spellings) so this means there is plenty of variety from one recipe to another.
Dupiaza (Dopiaza) Curry
The word ‘dupiaza’ comes from Persian and means ‘two onions’. It is, therefore, unsurprising that that this dish is prepared using plenty of onions cooked to produce the base sauce and then added again to complement the meat.
Usually prepared with king prawns, lamb or chicken. However, this curry can also be vegetarian where potatoes or cauliflower can be the main ingredient to sit alongside the onions.
Bhuna Curry Recipe
Bhunna in Urdu means “to be fried” so the Bhuna curry is another cooking style rather than a specific set of ingredients. So although considered by many as a type of curry dish, bhuna is actually a cooking technique whereby a mix of spices are fried in very hot oil in order to make a paste.
The meat is then fried together with this paste mix giving a thick intense dish.
