Chettinad Chicken Curry

Quite a complex dish to make. A tip….never start this in an evening after coming home from work. This is perfect for a Saturday afternoon with some really good tunes on in the kitchen working your magic. Once all the graft is done you can sit back and enjoy this dish with a few cold…

Thai yellow chicken curry with charcoal noodles

Once you’ve made the Thai yellow curry paste in my previous post then this recipe is a doddle!! The flavour balance is really interesting. This dish does have an Indian influence running through it which is really nice. Highly recommend it, especially if you have made the paste as it’s so rewarding. Again, this recipe…

Homemade Thai yellow curry paste.

The more I make these pastes the more I enjoy the process. Nothing better than making your own pastes as this gives you total satisfaction, well it does me anyway!!! This paste will compliment the Thai yellow chicken curry about to make. Again, the recipe is taken from the legend that is Dan Toombs. If…

Traditional Chicken Curry

My go to curry will be usually anything that involves lamb or king prawns. Sadly with the cost of lamb jumping to crazy prices lamb is now off the menu for a while. When cooking a curry dish and I use chicken I only ever use chicken thighs. I find thighs are the best cut….

Saag Paneer

It’s been a while since I’ve written any posts sorry. Life has been a bit up and down so cooking and writing has taken a backseat. I’ve continued to post on Instagram but with not much effort or passion. Kind have been going through the motions just to keep the Instagram site active. So here…

Kashmiri Mutton Rogan Josh ❤️

Rather than the ‘westernised’ version of a rogan josh this dish is more of your traditional type of dish. So many lovely flavours brought together by the slow cooking of the lamb this is the perfect dish you can do over 24 hours due the marinating of the lamb then place everything in a heavy…

A family favourite – Chicken Chasni.

Love this dish, so does my eldest son. A firm family favourite due due to the amazing sweet flavours of the dish. Branded by Dan Toombs as the ‘new chicken tikka masala’ and after having it a number of times I can clearly see why, a real crowd pleaser. The dish itself brings together ingredients…

Lamb seekh kebabs….a touch of class 👌

I’m not one for making starters. Not sure why! Recently I’ve decided to push myself a little further. One of the two I’ve made in recent weeks were these stunning and simple lamb seekh kebabs. I’ll be repeating these over and over again due to how good they actually were. I really can’t understand why…

Chicken chilli garlic 👌

Amazing chicken chilli garlic !!!After spending the day doing DIY this dish was the perfect way to relax…..with a beer of course!!!!Again, such a simple & rewarding dish which tasted so good. This dish was another first for me, it won’t be the last time I cook this either!!! The beauty about all this dishes…

Heavenly Lamb Bhuna

Absolutely stunning dish.Making the spiced lamb 24 hours beforehand certainly took this dish to another level ( see previous post). Making the stew as the same process as doing a marinade, takes a few minutes than bang…flavour party. Ingredients- rapeseed oil, 1 diced onion, 1/4 of a red pepper diced, 3 tbsp of finely diced…
