What have poppadums ever done for us?
Bran and I went out for a dirty cuzza the other night. It wasn’t just any old curry house, it was the Sundarban Tandoori in Greenford, which might not sound like a very auspicious location to visit - and it isn’t - but it does happen to play host to the finest Anglo-Indian dining in North London, period.

If it’s all going tits up in an unremittingly harsh terrain, and your sole au beurre has a touch of...
