Trigger has chosen this meal as chicken is an excellent source of protein, which is great for growing children and building strong muscles like his. Chicken korma – serves 4 Ingredients 400g chicken, diced 150g onions, shredded 100ml water 100g plain yoghurt 100g single cream or crème fraiche Method 1. Fry the onions until soft.

Remove from the oven and add the coconut milk. 4. Reduce the oven to gas mark 4 or 180oC and cook for a further 10 minutes. 5.Remove from the oven and stir in the yoghurt and cream/crème fraiche and heat through in the oven for a further 5 minutes. 6. Serve with rice or bread and a crisp green salad. A fresh face in the Mix BY PAT CHOI INDI-GO sits between the end of Brick Lane and Shoreditch High Street station, an area of east London that doesn’t struggle when it comes to footfall. It opened a few weeks ago inside the Rich Mix centre with a fresh-thinking menu and a colourful new space. Windows down the entire length of one side look out onto the neverdull Bethnal Green Road. Indi-Go’s menu covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, and while largely south Indian, it has some standard British-type dishes on offer and oddly a Thai bento as well. The smoothies, cakes and coffees make it a good option for a pre-cinema catch-up or place to plop yourself down with your laptop. The server apologised as the old favourite of masala dosa (rice and lentil pancake filled with potato masala) was not available. The nearby chefs overheard and intervened, keen to offer an alternative, and took time to explain the differences between the dishes. I didn’t regret ordering the recommended idly sambar – a delicious bowl of earthy yet delicately spiced daal served Indi-Go’s menu sets it apart from its Brick Lane brethren with steamed rice cakes and two sauces, one yoghurt and mint based, the other coconut, both with a welcome note of chilli. The aubergine bharta was smooth, suggesting the smoked aubergine had been puréed. It combined well with tomato to become a substantial and rich vegetarian dish that we merrily scooped up with tandoori roti, the perfect vehicle, being more substantial and having more chew than other breads. The pani-poori, mouthfulsized crispy wheatballs filled with a chickpea and potato mix were a little disappointing. The filling was fridge-cold and the balls themselves not freshly fried. This is perhaps the sign of a new-opener not yet getting timing and demand just right. My desi chai was made with a teabag with a few bonus cardamom seeds and cloves thrown in, which I enjoyed it all the same. The americano my companion ordered couldn’t be faulted. While slightly at odds with the trendy, distressed, edgy feel of the area, Indi-Go offers the rare feeling of space. A chance to escape the body-checks of Brick Lane, and to relax and refuel. While still finding its feet, the food is good, fairly priced, and the menu sets it apart from its Brick Lane brethren round the corner, all piping a similar tune. Indi-Go is at Rich Mix, 35-47 Bethnal Green Road, E1.
