Chana gosht ā¤ļø – lentils & lamb

Two of my favourite ingredients in a single dish, especially in a curry. I love lamb in any curry dish. I think the lamb meat, any cut, holds onto spices better than any other meat. Love a slow cooked lamb dish when the meat flakes apart into the curry. Then there is my favourite side…

Honey roasted tandoori chicken šŸ‘šŸ»

This is a fantastic dish to introduce eating back outside. Love eating outside full stop.

Rustic chicken chasni ā¤ļø

This dish was a little trip down memory lane. Slightly different to the restaurant style version I’d previously written about. This is the ā€˜rustic’ homemade ā€˜one pot’ version. This dish holds a great deal of sentimental value to me. When I was doing my Saturday morning curries this is a dish I had on my…
