Indian spiced ribs with coronation slaw
Dean Edwards has a Friday night take-away idea to inspire you this weekend. He's combined two of his favourite take-away foods - Indian and Deep South America to bring us Indian Spiced Ribs!
Dean says it's perfect finger food for sharing - like a lot of American take-aways, you dig in and eat with your hands - have lots of napkins at the ready!

2 racks of pork ribs
