When it comes to holidays – Easter is top tier. You get to spend the weekend bingeing on meaty treats, sugary goodies, and whatever else you may have given up for the month! Bring this easter in by throwing a lavish-meaty lunch. Whip out the wine glasses, get your cameras ready to capture these precious moments, and get ready to eat your weight in food!
Anglo-Indian recipes are the result of the fusion between Indian and Western Cuisines. A gastronomical legacy, at the least, these recipes take inspiration from dishes made by early settlers. This Easter try something new by cooking up an Anglo-Indian inspired Easter Feast!
Here are some of our favourite recipes to get you started!
