You don’t need to read Hindi to understand good food.

But when you spot “मसाला थिअरी”…

You should probably come inside too.❤️

POV: Sydney gets cold and your cravings get specific. 👀

Our, Old Delhi Chicken Curry. The cure for winter, as some dishes don’t need reinvention. ❤️

Slow-cooked.
Bone-in.
Rich onion-tomato bhuna masala.

The kind of curry that makes you reach for another piece of naan before you’ve finished the first.
