Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There is a time-honoured formula for matching Indian food with drink: anything will do as long as it's lager. Many people disagree, saying that well-chosen wines will complement the varied flavours of Indian cuisine. Several modern-style Indian restaurants have assembled intelligent lists, but Soho Spice's wine list is short and mediocre. I would stick with beer, but that list too is pretty perfunctory and dominated by big brands. Could try harder.
Kingfisher Premium Lager Beer, pounds 2.70 per 33cl bottle
A decent, refreshing lager with some good malty flavour. No better suited to Indian food than other decent beers, despite its pedigree
Cobra Premium Lager Beer, pounds 4.95 per 65cl bottle
India's other lager, in a bottle big enough to share so the fizz doesn't dissipate while you're eating
Heineken Export, pounds 2.95 per 33cl bottle
The old reliable - never anyone's favourite but a good beer for spicy food
