Twitter is a great place for swapping recipes. This is from@foodwithmustard, one of my favourite tweeters. She suggests serving it in quite a British way, with potatoes roasted with chilli and lemon, and carrots roasted with ginger and cardamom.
The yogurt marinade is entirely optional. If you want to be super quick, use one and a half tablespoons of bought garam masala for the spiced butter, instead of separate ginger, chilli, cumin and coriander.
Prep time: 15 minutes, plus 2 hours marinating and 45 minutes resting |

Growing up, the closest I ever got to a ski slope was the Milk Tray advert. Chocolates were delivered by an impossibly handsome man, skin tanned from the sunlight bouncing off the snow, after he’d conquered a few mountains. Martini was another advert based on the slopes, from which I spun a fantasy adult life – the glamour was total. Women wore glossy lipstick and fur coats and were called Anouska, and everyone wore shades. Only the men skied, mind you. The women seemed to hang around waiting for chocolates or booze.

Beans on toast and ready meals may be a staple of student cooking, but if by your mid-twenties you still haven t progressed from the simple (lets face it, often terrible) meals that were whipped up in halls, then it s time to refresh your culinary repertoire. Cooking is not about just joining the dots, following one recipe slavishly and then moving on to the next. It s about developing an understanding of food, a sense of assurance in the kitchen, about the simple desire to make yourself something to eat, says Nigella Lawson in
