I love a saag dish. Over the years it’s a dish I’ve been drawn towards more. I’ve always been a fan of spinach so to be able to cook this and be the main feature of a curry fascinates me. This method again is different to the restaurant/ takeaway version as it uses no base…

Chicken pasanda – a curry cooked with red wine…..
A new dish for me. Using flavours and combinations I’d would have never thought would go together. Having read up on the dish, a pasanda curry has been around for a couple of hundred years way before chilli’s and spices were introduced. A couple of plus points about this dish. I’ve never cooked an Indian…
Yes…can you believe it…. I’ve cooked a Korma !!
Yes I’m as shocked as the next person! I’ve never cooked, tried or even thought about cooking a korma from scratch before. Other than children and Stacey from Gavin and Stacey….who orders or eats a Korma ??? However, this was just one of those weeks which I felt I wanted to challenge myself even more…
A beautiful lamb rogan josh ❤️
This my curry lovers is a beautiful dish. A completely different way to cooking your British restaurant/ takeaway favourite. Your restaurant/ takeaway classic flavours are built up and use a base sauce, this dish has two steps using the same pan and the flavours come from a wonderful mix of spices and reusing the stock…
Chicken tikka masala – Family favourite ideal for little ones ❤️
This is a beautiful dish for a number of reasons. 1. Full of flavour. 2. Brilliant way to introduce little ones to Indian food. 3. Simple recipe. 4. One pot cooking which is always a plus!! This isn’t how I would normally make this dish but due to my eldest son’s love for the dish…

A cheap and cheerful dish, ideal for entertaining friends. Ingredients- 1 kilo of chicken wings, garlic salt, rapeseed oil, cornflour…
Christmas Dinner – best meal of the year by far ❤️ – My idiots guide to cooking.
Christmas dinner for me is the best meal to sit down and enjoy. I love cooking Christmas dinner. In the past I’ve cooked it for 16 people and just for 2, the same effort and passion goes in to it regardless of numbers. It was a big thing in my house growing up so I’ve…
Rajasthani Red Meat 👍
This another dish that I’ve had chance to experiment with due to finishing work early for Christmas. Again the dish has been taken from Madhur Jaffrey’s ‘Curry Easy’ cook book. When the dish is served in the Rajasthan desert region of India, its colour, comes mainly from the hot ground chillies as its fiery red!…
Fried whitebait, the Sri Lankan way and my homemade chilli jam ❤️
The beautiful thing about finishing work early for the Christmas break is that I find myself having extra time in the kitchen. I’ve always wanted to try a ‘spicier’ version of the traditional whitebait you have here in the UK. This dish didn’t disappoint. The recipe was taken from Madhur jaffrey’s ‘Curry Easy’ cookbook. I…
Classic lemon tart !
This for me is stepping outside of my comfort zone. Think I wanted to prove I could do it whilst having an unwinding Sunday. Simplicity is the key with only using 5 ingredients but as I found out a few stages that I found a little tricky, The proof as they say is in the…
