Product Information

In 2014, barrister Nisha Katona had a nagging obsession to build a restaurant serving the kind of food Indians eat at home and on the street. Liverpudlian child-protection barrister, Nisha Katona, opened the first Mowgli Street Food in Liverpool in 2014. For a pretty pink colour, try to find a genuine Indian rose syrup (in the Asian aisles of supermarkets or in Indian grocers).

Whenever we brought chips into our home, if we turned our back on them, my mother would have done this chip butty thing to them.

There are now 6 Mowgli restaurants around the UK, beloved for their fresh and tasty Indian home cooking (and famous Chip Butties). Aubergine/eggplant is India’s best-loved vegetable and the reason for this, my Maa and I reckon, is because it is the closest many Indians get to that meat texture.You can vary this recipe in accordance to what you have in your fridge and cupboards at home, but the main idea of the meal is simply an open chicken wrap with spinach and lots of tamarind sauce. This unique collection of recipes and stories from Nisha Katona's Mowgli Street Food restaurants brings you the best of their beloved menu, and much more. As at Mowgli, the focus is on food that's big in flavour but also light, healthy and made from accessible ingredients, often just using what's already in your cupboard or fridge. Discover how to recreate their iconic Angry Bird, the signature flavours of the House of Lamb Curry, and of course, the secrets of the taste explosion that are Chat Bombs.
