National Curry Week: It’s Naan Joke!

This week marks the 21st annual National Curry Week, celebrating one of the nation’s favourite and most versatile dishes! From Indian to Thai, it’s a takeaway go-to for many of us, but here at Creamline, we’re partial to cooking up our own, too! Read on for the lowdown on the delicious dish and tikka look at our recipe ideas – you’d be madras to miss it…

In 2016, it was estimated that there were 12,000 of these restaurants employing a huge 100,000 people nationally.
