mmmm Healthy Indian Recipes? yes, please.
Hands up who like Indian food? I had to stop typing there whilst I put both my hands up. In the air (and wave-like you just don’t care) Sorry I could not resist adding the song lyrics on the end there
Normally we would be grabbing for the take-out menu to get an Indian, but before you do take a look at the three healthy Indian food recipes below.
