Sweetcorn dhansak
Cook's notes
Recommended Wine With this we love: Sauvignon Blanc 'Marigny-Neuf', Ampelidae . The great thing about wine is its ability to surprise. This is Sauvignon from an unheard of little tributary of the Loire, nowhere near the famous areas of Sancerre and Pouilly, yet it's right up there with the very best on offer. This is for people who like elegance. It has stunning clarity, a wonderful racy grip and tremendous liveliness. There's lots of textbook gooseberries, nettles and guava and a vibrant finish.Ingredients
