Leave the marinade for at least an hour - it's worth it as the fish really does pick up the flavour. Taken from Mowgli: Street Food by Nisha Katona, this staple dish is a firm favourite in South Asian households!

This is how I cook my roast potatoes at home too, but with a sprinkling of brown sugar and garlic purée. From showstopping slaws to the ultimate Aloo Ghabi, Mother Butter Chicken to Calcutta Tangled Greens, each dish truly catpures the smash-and-grab zing of Indian food.

Hinduism, you see, suggests that the fierce energy used to digest heavy meats should be channelled into philosophy and deep thought, into fathoming how to make the world a better place.

When Nisha started sharing her ideas for a new cookery book encapsulating this approach on her Mowgli Instagram channel during the spring 2020 lockdown, she was thrilled by the hugely positive response. This is the food that Nisha Katona cooks at home: punchy and delicious Mowgli-style recipes that take you from couch to curry in 30 minutes or less.In 2014, barrister Nisha Katona had a nagging obsession to build a restaurant serving the kind of food Indians eat at home and on the street. It is these kind of lob-in-a-pan-and-make-magic dishes that are packed with flavour and yet can be conjured up in minutes from sleeping ingredients that I find particularly satisfying.
