After recent times, kitchen time was needed. I’ve not felt like posting for a while as I’ve not done much cooking, however this little gem cooked last night sparked a little flame inside. I’ve cooked a more complexed version of this dish before but to try and light the flame again I made this simplified…

Old fashioned Delhi style lamb bhuna ❤️
I haven’t posted for a while as I’ve had too many personal distractions. However, the cooking has helped.

The ‘authentic’ dishes have a completely different make up and method to the westernised dishes which I find more appealing. Westernised dishes…

Punjabi paneer & peas 👌

I’ve many paneer recipes and cooked a number of different versions of this recipe but it’s good to have…
Ayam Masak Merah – red cooked chicken from Malaysia ❤️
Ayam Masak Merah – ‘red cooked chicken’ from Malaysia ❤️ One of the challenges I enjoy is finding recipes from the books I have to try and utilise left over ingredients I have from previous cooking plus with whatever we have in the fridge! From the curry I cooked at the weekend I have a…
Simple Katsu curry sauce with scampi ❤️🍤
After all the exercise and walking this week again I was thinking of a quick and simple meal I could throw together. What better than to put a pan of rice on, oven on and scampi roasting away on a baking tray and a curry sauce which takes less than 10 minutes to make?? Nothing…
