OFF THE STREET
We’ve had Mexican street food on the menu at Wahaca – now, modern Indian restaurants are going big for mouthwatering Indian street-food dishes. At Kricket ( kricket.co.uk/soho), I love the ‘pumpkin with makhani sauce, paneer, hazelnut crumble and puffed wild rice’, while at Tamarind Kitchen ( tamarindkitchen.co.uk), I order moong wada (spiced lentil cake with coconut chutney). Do street food at home with
GBBO Chetna Makan’s brand new cookbook Chai, Chaat & Chutney (£20, Mitchell Beazley) inspired by India’s diverse street-food scene; dishes include chole – the ultimate chickpea curry from the north – and cardamom and pistachio kulfi, found throughout India.
