Salmon and Spinach Curry | Jono & Jules do food & wine

A scrumptious mild curry from Made in India by Meera Sodha. It is fast to make and excellent for a Friday night time. We served with rice.

Wine suggestion: Since this dish is kind of mild, we predict a grenache-based rosé is the best way to go right here, with Chateau Pesquié Terrasses Rosé as our alternative tonight. The fragile pink fruits complement the salmon very nicely and the open, softer nature of the grape takes over the spiciness and finishes it off.
