Classic-Butter Chicken
A little too spicy for my husband’s system and almost so for me, but a fun exploration for us. The naan was much enjoyed by both of us and quite flavorful. Thank you.

Tangy Alleppey Branzino Curry
This is delicious. Only some fresh veggies would make it perfect. I used the air fryer to reheat it - covered the rice w/foil.
