Old fashioned Delhi style lamb bhuna ❤️
I haven’t posted for a while as I’ve had too many personal distractions. However, the cooking has helped. I’ve put a lot of focus into cooking authentic dishes whilst still cooking ‘westernised recipes’. The ‘authentic’ dishes have a completely different make up and method to the westernised dishes which I find more appealing. Westernised dishes…
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…
Punjabi chickpea curry ❤️
Whilst this dish may sound complicated it really isn’t. Like most dishes, it’s easy to get put off by processes but this dish is so simple to make and so rewarding. I’ve cooked a few different versions of a chickpea curry and most authors offer a slightly different regional take on them, they are all…
Ayam Masak Merah – red cooked chicken from Malaysia ❤️
Ayam Masak Merah – ‘red cooked chicken’ from Malaysia ❤️ One of the challenges I enjoy is finding recipes from the books I have to try and utilise left over ingredients I have from previous cooking plus with whatever we have in the fridge! From the curry I cooked at the weekend I have a…
Simple Katsu curry sauce with scampi ❤️🍤
After all the exercise and walking this week again I was thinking of a quick and simple meal I could throw together. What better than to put a pan of rice on, oven on and scampi roasting away on a baking tray and a curry sauce which takes less than 10 minutes to make?? Nothing…
Chicken & banana korma – it will blow your mind !!
Chicken & banana korma !!Yes you read that correctly!! Recipe taken from Nisha Katona’s cookbook called ‘Bold’. The whole books concept is about taking familiar recipes and being ‘Bold’ by stepping outside of the box….it has my name written all over it. I’ve never been one for ‘doing what’s always been done’ or ‘that’s the…
Simple & easy Pathia ❤️
I’ve blogged before about my love for a pathia. Pathia was my first introduction to Indian food aged 19 from a little restaurant in Coleshill. It’s one of those food memories you’ll never forget. I love this ‘hot, sweet & sour’ dish. A perfect mix of flavours basically created by Kashmiri chill powder, sugar, mango…
Chicken curry with cardamoms – heavenly ❤️
This is a wonderful, basic flavoursome dish for the whole family. Simple cooking methods, very few ingredients which makes the whole process easy from start to finish. As you would expect, taking the recipe from Madhur Jaffrey’s cookbook called ‘Curry Easy’ says it all. The recipe is stripped back and so easy to follow. Whilst…
Japanese curry – with a twist 👍 (making the very best of leftovers)
Wow. What a dish, for so many reasons!!!!! Firstly, this was my first attempt at making this curry. The flavours are amazing. Most of the work goes into making the paste (roux), that’s as hard as it gets!!! The paste is surprisingly good, especially as it’s made with grated apple !!! Yes you’ve read that…
