"How many people have we bought Asma Khan’s cookbook for? Hundreds, thousands, possibly millions. OK, we’re being dramatic but the point is we’re huge fans of Khan’s Indian cooking. The all-female kitchen team at her Darjeeling Express restaurant in Carnaby Street whip up puchkas, tangra chilli garlic prawns, and our personal favourite, the aubergine curry. Even on busy nights, Asma still walks around the restaurant, welcoming guests and making us feel like we’re eating this top-tier meal at our really fun, really popular friend's house.
