How are you fillet about February? Everyone could use a little warm spice right around now. So here comes our Into the Taj blend, up to gills in coriander, ginger and cumin, just in time for a fish dinner. Pan-cooked tilapia sits atop long-grained rice perfumed with ginger, and a medley of veggies (to the tune of gently sautéed string peas, green peas and cubes of butternut squash). Freshly minted garlicky yogurt is the flavour bomb.
