Our Lockdown Tour of The World continues with Country 9 being India. It's a huge country with many cuisines, but the dish I chose was curry and rice - in particular a mixed vegetable curry in a sauce combining Jalfrezi heat and the tomato richness of Rogan Josh.
The curry had a base of sautéed onions and spices, with cubed sweet potato and butternut providing the bulk, accompanied with quartered button mushrooms, halved baby sweetcorn, cauliflower florets, French beans and peas.
With it, we had an Indian wine
2018 Sula Vineyards Shiraz Dindori Reserve (India, Nashik)
Estate bottled, from grapes grown in the Dindori Vineyard in Nashik, Maharashtra State and aged in French and American oak barrels for more than a year.
The wine was excellent, with a deep colour, smooth taste, and soft tannins.
(Note: The stick on seal boasting of 92 points from Wine Enthusiast was unlikely to be for this particular wine unless Wine Enthusiast has a time machine, as it dated December 2015 and this wine is the 2018 vintage)
Country 8 was France
