Sundays are made for good food, but that doesn't mean you need to spend the entire day in the kitchen. From comforting curries to rich, aromatic rice dishes, Shan's range of ready-to-use spice mixes makes it easier to bring delicious Indian meals to the table.
Here are five easy Sunday dinner ideas to try when you want something special without making cooking complicated.

1. Restaurant-Style Butter Chicken

Few dishes make Sunday dinner feel quite as indulgent as butter chicken. With Shan Butter Chicken Mix, you can create juicy chicken in a rich tomato and butter sauce without measuring out a long list of individual spices. Marinate the chicken with the spice mix, lemon juice, yogurt and oil, then cook it with tomato puree, butter and cream for a rich, comforting curry.

Pair it with naan or steamed rice for a complete Sunday meal.

2. Classic Chicken Curry

For a comforting family dinner, a classic chicken curry is hard to beat. Shan Chicken Masala Mix brings together spices such as red chilli, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, cumin and cardamom, making it simple to build a rich and aromatic curry at home.

Serve it with hot rotis, naan or rice, and finish with fresh ginger for an easy meal everyone can enjoy.

3. Shahi Paneer for a Vegetarian Sunday

Looking for a vegetarian dinner? Shahi Paneer is a great way to make the meal feel a little more special. A creamy paneer curry, made with tomatoes, onions, cashews and cream, is both indulgent and easy to pair with rice or naan.

Use Shan Shahi Paneer Mix to bring together the aromatic spice base, then add your paneer and creamy ingredients for a restaurant-style dish at home.

4. Chicken Jalfrezi for a Quick, Flavourful Dinner

If you prefer something lighter and packed with vegetables, Chicken Jalfrezi is a great choice. Shan Chicken Jalfrezi Mix combines with chicken, tomatoes, onions, capsicum and green chillies to create a vibrant, stir-fried curry.

The best part? The recipe comes together without requiring hours of cooking, making it ideal when Sunday plans have already taken up most of the day. Serve it with plain rice or noodles.

5. A Fragrant Punjabi Yakhni Pilau

End the weekend with a comforting rice dish. Shan Punjabi Yakhni Pilau Mix can help you prepare fragrant pilau with tender meat and aromatic spices. The recipe involves cooking the meat with the spice mix to create a flavourful stock before adding soaked basmati rice.

Serve it with a cooling raita or a fresh salad for a satisfying Sunday dinner.
