Penang chicken curry ❤️ with egg noodles & tenderstem broccoli finished with crispy onions.
I’ve tried to make this dish many many times using different methods and recipes. Each time I’ve not got it right sadly. I’m determined to get it right as having eaten the dish out it’s a beautiful representation of Thai cooking. I’m fascinated by all dishes from Asia and regions but I find Thai cooking…
Miso cod ramen 🍜 Heavenly ❤️
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, I’ve cooked quite a number of dishes which I desperately need to post about, best to start with a simple dish which shouldn’t take too much time to write up about. Miso cod ramen – I love a ramen, the clean flavoursome broth is so rewarding and fulfilling….
Yu Siang shredded chicken & aubergine served with jasmine rice ❤️
To celebrate the Chinese New Year I’ve now for a number of years cooked a dish that’s new to me. To celebrate the year of the snake again I turned to a recipe from Ching-He Huang & Ken Hom. I picked this cook book up in a second hand charity shop. This book is a…
Lamb bhuna – alternative method which is stunning !!
I love this dish. Lamb full stop in a curry is sensational but this thick sauce is another level – even better that it’s so easy to make !!!! This again is a different method to your traditional westernised takeaway / restaurant method. I’m not using a pre-made Indian base sauce, I’m making it as…
Egg curry 👌🏻
I first discovered egg curry’s when I removed meat from my diet. At the time I substituted meat with many different types of vegetables, paneer and eggs plus being pescatarian I ate many varieties of fish. Egg curry’s are staple dishes in India for many reasons. Another reason I like this dish is because a…
Rustic chicken chasni ❤️
This dish was a little trip down memory lane. Slightly different to the restaurant style version I’d previously written about. This is the ‘rustic’ homemade ‘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…
Outstanding fish pie from the king of the sea !!!
We all comfort food! For me a fish pie, shepherds pie, cottage pie and homemade lasagna fall into this category. Also, they bring fond food memories back of my childhood and my mums cooking. Over the years I’ve made many different versions of fish pies but for me this was the best. So many layers…
Chicken jalfrezi – simple and easy family favourite ❤️
Who doesn’t love a jalfrezi ?? This cooking method is different from the westernised restaurants and takeaways as I’m using no base sauce. You make and create the sauce as you make the dish. This version was again cooked to celebrate National Curry Week at the start of October. The beauty of this dish is…
Bicol Express – Filipino curry !
This dish was stunning! Another dish I’d cooked for National Curry Week. Only slight downside was the shrimp paste I used. The shrimp paste was brought back from Singapore by a friend who was working out there with JLR. It was stronger than anything I’d previously used and the smell hung around for days…..lesson learnt!!…
