Pick two of your favourite curries and voila! It's also good to have at least one milder option, so whip up a Butter Chicken, Tikka Massala or Korma, and don't forget to whip up a few veggie options (we're big Bombay Aloo fans). Naan breads, onion bhajis, rice and vegetable samosa are also great ideas.Via Pinterest25 of 37
