When we think Indian, we think bold and nothing pairs better with that spirit than South Island salmon, sourced from the icy waters off Stewart Island, where cooler temperatures lock in purity and texture. Watch as Chef Elysha applies a custom spice rub, seals it with 100% mustard oil (because that’s how flavour sticks), then smokes it gently over charcoal to exactly 62°C, the sweet spot for silkiness. This smoky, spicy stunner has been one of Parnell’s best kept secrets… until now.

……urad, rajma and kidney beans soaked for eight hours, using the charcoal embers from my tandoor. This process enables me to achieve that special slow-cooked flavour. The secret, this process releases its natural butter oils, instrumental in our House Black Dhal. A creamy, rustic, heart warming and flavoursome lentil curry.

When with family, I enjoyed with our Paratha Naan cooked on the walls of our clay oven.
