Want to taste the most expensive curry in the world? It has been launched in bombay brasserie just for 2,000 pounds. Even amidst the recession days people who can afford this curry is craving for it.

The origin of this curry is from none other than India. Samundari Khazana, or Seafood Treasure, is a mix of caviar, sea snails, a whole lobster and even edible gold. It is served by the treasure's top-notch eatery Bombay Brasserie. Head chef Prahlad Hegde invented this curry from a basic Indian recipe he got from his mum.

Here is glimpse into the recipe of Samundari Khazana:

Hegde prepares the dish with Devon crab and white truffle.

An assistant can painstakingly pressed gold leaf on to half a cherry tomato, its flesh replaced with Beluga caviar.

The chef puts four sea snails - abalone - costing almost 300 pounds a kilo into a sizzling pan.

Another cook coated an 80 pounds Scottish lobster in gold.

The third cook deftly hollowed out four shelled quails' eggs before filling them with more caviar.

The fish and seafood is marinated in chilli and tamarind paste, slice truffle over the top to give it a nutty flavour.

The five tiny shavings of truffle cost 90 pounds, while the shimmering, edible gold cost a staggering 1,000 pounds for just 10g. The curry has been created to coincide with the DVD launch of Oscar-winning flick Slumdog Millionaire, which is set in India.
