Free Gondhoraj Chicken Malai Curry, worth £15, on any order over £75
He's currently in Calcutta, probably eating better than I am, arguing with somebody confidently, and asking whether the fish is fresh enough.
So I thought I'd send out one of his favourite curries. Gondhoraj Chicken Malai Curry (from 1-30 June).
The malai curry came through old Malay trade routes, when coconut milk found its way into Bengali cooking. Traditionally it was often made with prawns, but in our house my mum makes it with chicken, with gondhoraj lemon leaves, from the king of limes itself.
It's gentle, citrusy, and very much the sort of thing my father likes to eat while commenting on absolutely everything else around him.
So this one's for the dads. The father figures. The men who taught us resilience, storytelling, stubbornness and occasionally very questionable parking.
This June, the curry is on me.
THE FATHER'S DAY OFFER
Spend over £75 and the Gondhoraj Chicken Malai Curry is on us. Worth £15, added automatically, nothing for you to do.
A feast, a freezer full, a pile of chutneys. However it adds up past £75, the curry is in the box - from 1-30 June.
HOWEVER IT SUITS THE DAD IN THE QUESTION
Feed him, gift him a day, or just get him up here. It is all below, and one button takes you to all of it.
Proper Indian food, cooked here, frozen the day it is made, ready when he is. Spend over £75 and the curry comes with it.
For the dad who genuinely cannot tell you what he wants. Spends on freezer meals, a class, chutneys or the cafe, his call, whenever he likes.
A half day in the barn with me. We start with the spice masterclass over chai and samosas, then cook a proper feast and sit down and eat the lot.
Ninety minutes on how to actually make a biryani. Because rice in a curry is not a biryani, however hopeful he is about it.
Ninety minutes on spices and blending his own. For the dad who reorganises the spice rack and has firm opinions about it.
Skip the wrapping altogether. The Indian grill going, the swan on the pool, a long lunch and nothing to tidy up after. Just bring him.
One order over £75 and the curry is added automatically. No code, nothing to do.
OR SKIP THE WRAPPING
Sunday 21 June, here at Mandira's Kitchen
We're firing up the Indian grill for Father's Day. The swan on the pool, a long lunch in the Surrey Hills, and nothing to tidy up after. Bring him along.
Free to come, no ticket. A booking just helps us know how much to cook.
However he likes his Sundays, there is a version of this that fits him. And none of them involve socks.
Feed him, gift him, or bring him to the barbecue. Three ways, one page.
