In a food processor, blitz together the onion, garlic, chilli, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric and curry powder, and 2 tablespoons of the oil to a rough paste. I’m obsessed with The Girl With the Louding Voice. It’s one of the best books I’ve read in such a long time. It works on so many levels. I think Abi Daré is one of the most exciting new voices in literature that I’ve read in a very long time. It’s witty, it’s challenging, it’s exciting. There’s a thriller running through it. I was introduced to doubles by my dear Trinidadian friend, Lesley Anne Saunders, and it was love at first bite. Puffy bara flatbread with the rich, curry-seasoned chana, zingy cucumber relish and a final punch of tamarind chutney and glorious hot sauce.It’s truly one of the most stunning street food inventions I have ever come across.
