Treat Your Dad to an 'Indian Summer' Sunday Roast
Brighton's 'Indian Summer' has combined the two greatest English culinary traditions - the Sunday roast and Indian food - with the introduction of new tandoor dishes and live music on Sundays.
Most joints of meat are baked, rather than roasted but the Indian Summer roast meat on skewers in their tandoor oven.
My father was a traditional Indian man who had exacting standards and would demand his proper Indian tea made with cardamom and ginger at 7am. Without this he would be a very grumpy man and this rang true to his demand of real fresh Indian food everyday. My mum had her work cut out.
Thankfully she is an amazing cook who would be able to rustle up a chicken dish for my dad even though she is a strict vegetarian. She would get my brother to clean the meat and she would cook the spices and just had to smell the dish to see if it needed salt, chilli or garlic. The result was always perfect. Needless to say my father was very happy
