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…

Lamb bhuna ❤️ an alternative way of cooking this classic 👍
Love making this dish. This method again is different to your usual restaurant/ takeaway version as it consists of no base sauce, you make your own sauce ! Again, it’s a simple recipe to follow and can be cooked in the same time it usually takes your local takeaway have it ready. Ingredients- 4 tbsp…
Lamb Saag – alternative way of cooking this beautiful dish đź‘Ť
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 ❤️

Bombay Aloo đź‘Ś
I cooked this dish part of a multi dish evening with friends. If I’m honest it was meant to be a side dish but it actually ended up being the star of the show. Not only did it feed 4 adults it fed another friend who took some home the following day. Ingredients- 4 tbsp…
Indo-Chinese sweet & sour chicken đź‘Ś
I love this dish. Proper bowl of comfort food. Who doesn’t love sticky chicken ? Especially when combining Indian & Chinese flavours. One of the other great things about this dish is the cost !! A cheap and cheerful dish, ideal for entertaining friends. Ingredients- 1 kilo of chicken wings, garlic salt, rapeseed oil, cornflour…
Lamb keema saag balti ❤️
