Recommended Meal – July

The local eateries with go up against the best Asian restaurants and takeaways from around Scotland after more than 10,000 people voted online for their favourite venues, with 70 businesses making the shortlist.

Hosted by BBC News anchor Samantha Simmonds, the gala dinner and awards ceremony will take place at The Sheraton Grand Hotel in Edinburgh on September 18.

The awards, being held for the seventh time, are organised by the Asian Catering Federation (ACF).

ACF chairman Yawar Khan said: “We are seeing some remarkable creativity by pioneering restaurateurs and chefs, adapting to challenging trading conditions and more sophisticated customer preferences, showcasing Scotland’s world-leading produce, especially its seafood, game, neeps and tatties.”

For this months recommendation, the dishes are mostly traditional but we begin with a dish not commonly found in Indian and Bangladeshi restaurants.

Starter – Garlic Mushrooms

Start off your meal with a light mild-flavoured dish – chopped mushrooms, fresh garlic, coriander and herbs in a mild but tasty sauce.

Main – Sag Gosht

Turning up the heat now, our main course is a popular dish in South Asia with succulent pieces of lamb with fresh spinach leaves. This dish is also available with chicken if you prefer poultry.

Side – Bombay Alo

Potatoes infused with delicate spices makes a perfect side dish to compliment the spinach main course.

Bread – Tandoori Roti

A tandoori roti (like a chapati but cooked in a tandoor – a clay oven) is the perfect bread to eat with your main course of lamb and spinach.

Rice – Pilau Rice

With this meal we think bread is enough, but if you’re a rice fan then the popular Pilau Rice will suit this months Recommended Meal.
