PRAV'S ALTERNATIVE CHRISTMAS LUNCH

A festive feast with Malaysian and South Indian soul

Prav is a Swede who's lived in Britain with his wife and daughters for half his life. His dad is South Indian Malaysian.

He loves a roast. We showed you that last week. So do we.

He also, like us, will gleefully rip through a curry.

Bored of an old fashioned British roast on Christmas Day? After an alternative for Christmas Eve, Boxing day or anytime?

Bingo.

I feel like this one is even better than the roast. Especially because I learned a lot and Prav is so passionate & funny.

Enjoy even more, and show us your results!

Why an alternative Christmas lunch?

Nick adores Prav’s roast, but he loves South Asian food just as much. Castle Farm, Midford may be renowned for its Sunday roast, but its curry nights are equally beloved - flavourful, fragrant, and full of heart.

So this second film isn’t an afterthought. It’s a celebration.

Prav brings together the flavours of his life: the brightness of Malaysia, the depth of South India, the lightness of Swedish influence, and the warmth of a British family Christmas.

The result? A feast that is:

  • Bold and aromatic without being complicated.
  • Deeply comforting, perfect for winter.
  • Designed to be cooked with confidence, even if you don’t normally make curries.
  • Joyful and energetic - much like Prav himself in this film.

We learned a huge amount while filming it. You will too.

What’s in the Film?

This masterclass teaches you how to cook a complete alternative Christmas meal, with the same clarity and calm confidence that Prav brought to his roast.

You’ll learn:

  • How to build layers of flavour without fuss.
  • How Prav balances spice, acidity, sweetness, and texture.
  • How to make curries that sing, not shout.
  • Clever prep techniques that remove stress.
  • How to serve everything beautifully, with warmth and generosity.

And yes - the lamb was so good that the entire crew went silent.

A Gentle Nod to the Jacket

Amid all the spice, warmth, and festive joy of this film, there’s one small detail worth mentioning: the jacket Prav is wearing.

It’s the Waxed Lightweight Workers Jacket in Blaze Orange, the same style he first modelled for us seven years ago, and one he still reaches for naturally.

No styling notes, no plan, just a jacket he genuinely likes to cook and work in.
