Episode 3

Nadiya shares family favourites perfect for any occasion: an authentic chicken curry infused with aromatic whole spices that has been passed down the generations of Nadiya’s family, a cumin and dill-laced samosa, a quick, delicious tangy tomato prawn dish, and her son’s favourite cake, a sweet cardamom traybake.

And food writer Ping Coombes shares her passion for passing down the flavours of her ancestral cooking to her family, with star anise taking a starring role. She prepares succulent chicken braised in star anise and soy, served with fresh veg and family-friendly pancakes.
