I love discovering new dishes! This dish was like ‘wow’ !! So much flavour it’s unreal, again with very few ingredients, as they say – ‘less is more’. The recipe is a modified version of a dish by ‘Mother India’ whom I discovered during a work trip to Glasgow. The original recipe used halibut, but…

Tamarind cod curry ❤️
I love the cultural history behind this dish. Tamarind within any dish gives a natural ‘tangy’ hit which I love, tamarind is also used in my favourite dish – pathia. Both have a similar ‘sweet & sour’ hit from the tamarind and sugar with chilli under notes. This dish traditionally is a dish from South…
Chana gosht ❤️ – 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…

My love for a ‘dhal’ shines through ❤️ – Red lentil & spinach dhal ❤️
One of my favourite Indian meals – the humble and underrated dhal. A staple meal of millions of houses in India. You can cook and add anything into a dhal. For me it’s either a fantastic side dish or equally amazing main! I’ve spent hours in the kitchen cooking dhals using various lentils & beans….
