Pairing it with chocolate just seemed like the best way to have this – I know, I know....

I think it has more of a Mughlai flare to it. Paneer Lababdar makes a great choice for special occasions and fits in the menu so well....

While there are many rasta pasta recipes online that include meat, Rastafarians don’t eat meat (what they call “no bone zone”), so this vegan version is truer to the original....
