About

This is one of Mowgli’s most popular dishes. To get our spice kick, Indians pimp up English staples with three cardinal ingredients: coriander/cilantro, onion and green chilli. You can throw these into a Pot Noodle and make it Indian, I swear. Coriander gives a herby, floral note and the chilli and onions, a sharp sweetness. These additional tones wake up the heavy ooze of the cheese and you really need a good, strong cheddar to take the assault of the spice.
