<h2>Coconut prawn Curry with Cobra</h2>

<h2>chicken tikka masala with Tiger</h2>
<p>Although our clever take on the curry-house fave is significantly leaner than the classic version, you'll still need a strong beer to cut through this dish's delicious creaminess. Refreshing yet full-bodied, Tiger Premium lager is the perfect match. Its silky texture and malty character are perfect compliments to this mildly spiced and rich sauce.</p>

<h2>Beef biryani with Singha</h2>
<p>With its medley of star anise, cinnamon, turmeric and cumin, pairing this south Indian dish calls for a beer that can match its pungent flavours. Singha Thai beer is rich in taste with a strong hop flavour that can stand up to the powerful flavours within the curry. It's the perfect beverage to wash down all that melt-in-the-mouth meat.</p>

<h2>Bengal king prawn curry with Guinness West Indies Porter</h2>
<p>A flavour-packed and relatively dry curry, this king prawn curry is all about nurturing the sweet meat of the shellfish.

Pure deliciousness with every mouthful.</p>

<h2>Lamb Rogan Josh with Banks's Bitter</h2>
<p>This traditional north Indian lamb stew is flavoured with garam masala, dried chillies, cardamom and cloves. For a beer that can stand up to the meaty flavour of this dish, try the amber Bank's Bitter. Its tart edge will soften the heat and salt, while lifting up the more delicate flavours of the sauce.</p>

<h2>Roasted aloo gobi with Kingfisher</h2>
<p>Golden curry powder gives this roasted veg dish its familiar colour, that's perfect as a side for curry, instead of rice, or as a light veggie main.
