Thought I’d do a little update as I’ve not written for a while due to a number of distractions 😞. Just taking a moment to write this ok a Sunday morning with a cuppa in bed. When it comes to curries, I’m all about flavour over heat. I do like to enjoy the flavours that…

Goan Beef Kofta Curry – absolute delight of a dish ❤️
I loved cooking this dish, I actually think, this is my best dish to date. The taste and flavours were unreal with many different layers of flavour which just keep coming with each mouthful. It’s such a simple dish to make which makes it even better. What can be better…..a curry that you can make…
Pork Vindaloo – 👎👍
Part of learning is failing. Sadly in life I’m used to failing. This was such a dish sadly. I think it’s important to showcase your failings otherwise you will never learn. I knew instantly my mistakes whilst cooking this dish. I’m more upset about the waste of money. When money is precious you can’t afford…
Thai inspired chicken & cashew nuts ❤️
As I’m sat in a car park whilst my son is at scouts I just thought I’d catch up with a dish I made a week or so ago. I wanted to cook something which needed nothing buying as I had all the ingredients within the house. I stumbled over this recipe whilst flicking through…
Chicken Rezala & homemade dhal ❤️
Simple, beautiful cooking. These are the only words needed to describe this dish. Dish is similar to a tikka masala but with more heat running through it. I keep making the same mistake though sadly over & over again…..no beer in the house to enjoy it with !!!!!! This dish is usually a quicker dish…
Chicken keema shimla mirch ❤️
This dish was perfect for a Saturday night chill in the kitchen due to its simplicity. If you cook Indian food regularly then all the ingredients are staple cupboard items – apart from the chicken mince (which at times can be a pain in the ar@e to get!!). If you can’t get chicken mince then…
Mango chicken curry ❤️
What an absolutely stunning dish. Amazing combination of spice and sweetness. So much flavour literally from the first mouthful. Such a quick dish to make. By the time the rice had boiled and put aside to steam itself the mango chicken curry was finished. Ingredients- 2/3 tbsp of rapeseed oil, 2 tbsp of heaped garlic…
Chicken Lababdar ❤️
I’ve not posted for awhile but trust me the cooking hasn’t stopped !!! In fact quite the opposite. I’ve been exploring a number of new dishes / flavours and this dish is a stunner. Just like a traditional butter chicken but containing spice due to using Kashmiri chilli powder & green chillies. I personally don’t…
Balti chicken & black beans 👍
A very simple recipe using the leftovers from my curry orders. I always have a tin of black beans in the cupboard along with butter beans, cannelloni beans & red kidney beans as these can be used to bulk out any meal. This recipe only requires a handful of ingredients and takes about 15 minutes…
King Prawn Madras 🌶
I’ve never ordered a madras or cooked one. I’ll be honest, I have always been put off with the 🌶 symbols on menus. I’ve always had the opinion of ‘flavour over heat’. After cooking this dish my opinion hasn’t changed. For me, this was far too hot. I’ll admit the flavours were there but the…
