WHAT would your naan say?

It's National Curry Week so time to take a classic Liverpool dish that has nothing whatsoever to do with it and spice it up a bit.

Student haunt Rumi by Bukhara, on Mount Pleasant, is serving up a traditional Indian curry inspired by scouse.

Rumi boss Faisal Patel said: “We are extremely excited to celebrate National Curry Week as the dish is of course one of our specialities. We wanted to devise something that would appeal to all of our customers around the city and to create something truly unique; the dish we have come up with is certainly inimitable.

“The idea of the meal was to work with something that’s symbolic to the city, but with a very traditional Indian culinary twist by devising a specially concocted curry rather than the usual stew stock. Based on the established Karhai recipe, it’s packed with British flavour, spice and aromas, creating a fragrant and indulgent overall taste using lamb, potatoes, onions, carrots, peas and tomatoes with fresh homemade naan bread on the side for dipping.”

Faisal added: “We are looking forward to welcoming both new and familiar faces to try our eccentric new offering and as it is available for one week only, we are urging guests to visit us and tickle their taste buds with a special curry with a twist.”
