About

‘This may seem a little surreal in the Quag’s context, but is hugely popular and is one of our most frequently requested vegetarian dishes. Any potatoes will do, but large floury baking potatoes are best. You can buy garam masala – fragrant spice mixes – or make your own. There is no definitive recipe, but the one given below is very good.’ MW
