Royal tomato masala is our name for it but the actual dish is called lababdar, rich, slightly tangy, a proper balance of tomato and cream rather than just tomato on its own. Paneer this time instead of vegetable, the softness against the tang works really well. If you've been ordering "the tomato one" without knowing the name, now you do.

People take one look at the colour of rogan josh and assume it's going to blow their head off, and that's fair, it looks the part. The truth is it's deep and warming more than it's genuinely hot, the colour comes from Kashmiri chilli which is more about flavour and colour than heat. Lamb is the only way we serve it, no substitutions. If you've been avoiding this one thinking it's too much, it's probably not.

Every curry we make has its own specific lineup of whole spices, and honestly you can tell a lot about which one you're looking at before it ever touches a pot. Swipe through, no peeking at the end until you've actually guessed all three.

Comment how many you got right, we're genuinely curious if the regulars can call it every time.

If you think Indian food is just one flavour turned up or down, this one's going to surprise you. Coconut spice explosion comes from a totally different part of India, coastal, warm, coconutty in a way that's completely its own thing next to the creamier curries on our menu. We think it's the most underrated bowl we make. Chicken keeps it balanced without fighting the coconut.

Save this for your next food hall stop.

There's a version of Indian food that's soft and comforting and a version that just hits you straight in the chest, and dhaba curry is very much the second one. This is the kind of curry that reminds you of eating on the side of a road somewhere with your hands, no plates, no cutlery. We paired it with lamb because nothing else stands up to it the same way.

Save this for the next time you want dinner to actually mean something.

This one starts a lot greener than people expect. Mustard seed, garlic, and turmeric all cooked down before the cream even goes in, and that's the part that turns it from just spinach into creamy spinach delight. Paneer soaks it all up better than anything else on the menu. Wanted to show the quiet start behind the bowl that always gets called comforting.

Grandma's mince masala doesn't get talked about enough, mostly because "mince curry" sounds like the safe boring order on paper. It's the opposite of that here, slow-cooked lamb mince in a proper rich masala base, the kind of thing that tastes like it's been simmering for hours because honestly it basically has. Lamb is the only way we make it, no substitutions, some things just aren't up for debate. Give it a try this Monday.

Spicy street style kadai is exactly what it sounds like, the kind of curry that's meant to be eaten standing up at a street stall with your sleeves already rolled. Bold spice, punchy tomato base, chicken keeping it grounded so it doesn't run away from you completely. If your usual order plays it safe, this is the one to break the habit with.

Save this for the next time you actually want dinner to wake you up a bit.

We built three very different bowls this week and honestly you can tell a lot about a person by which one they'd order without hesitating. Swipe through and be honest with yourself, which one is actually you.

Save this so you remember which curry to order next time you can't decide, and tag the friend who's clearly the dhaba curry, they'll know exactly what we mean.

Every bowl you've seen this month came from the same nine curries and the same simple idea, you build it, we cook it right.
