Anjum set out to prove that Indian food can be light and healthy and worthy of a slot on the menu at a spa. She headed to the spa in the beautiful surroundings of the Charlton House hotel in Somerset where she persuaded the chef, Elisha Carter, to put some of her recipes on his menu. He loved her mouth-watering Avial (a southern Indian mixed vegetable dish with coconut) accompanied by a slightly sweet Bengal gram lentil curry, followed by the yoghurt-based dessert made with saffron, Shrikand.
