Meera’s take on this street food favourite can be served as a starter or side dish. Featuring golden-fried cubes of paneer with a warming chilli kick, it all comes together quickly in the pan so no need to sweat over any lengthy preparation.

Meera’s easy recipe and no-fuss method means these Peshwari roti can be on the table in next to no time (and they’ll be devoured in even less). 

Jewelled with fruit, nuts and saffron, this rice dish pairs perfectly with the lamb raan.

Finish up your Indian feast in style with these traditional favourites, gulab jamuns. These pretty little milky doughnuts can be made up to a week in advance and keep happily in the fridge.
