“As my last post hinted, my father has been unwell, so I had to venture into the kitchen. And what better than for someone with a lingering chest infection than a nice British interpretation of Indian cuisine with a few secret add-ons I learnt about during 5 years in Hyderabad?” the former UK diplomat wrote.
