downtonabbeycooks · March 28, 2019 ·

Indian food has long been an English favorite, harking back to India’s days as the prized British colony.  This a delicious one pot meal for family or guests. It has the distinction of having been served in 2nd class on the ill fated voyage of Titanic on April 12, 1912.  King George V loved curries and would have enjoyed this.
