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…
Bhindi Aloo Dhabi – (okra and potatoes )❤️
This is a new dish for me on many levels. New as in I’d never attempted it and new as in I’d never eaten okra ❤️. I was inspired to find a recipe and create it after hearing stories from a work colleague about it when he was at home in Indian. I could hear…

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….

I’ve tried to make this dish many many times using different methods and recipes. Each time I’ve not got it right sadly.

Honey roasted tandoori chicken 👍🏻
This is a fantastic dish to introduce eating back outside. Love eating outside full stop. This dish is perfect for the bbq, however, on this occasion I cooked it inside whilst cooking other meats on the bbq. This dish requires two separate marinades, other than that, the oven will do the rest. Both the marinades…

Chicken saag karahi
A beautiful and stunning plus simple dish to make…..however…..the dish is named so because of the pan it’s cooked in…..a karahi pan. If you you don’t have one of these traditional Indian cast iron pans, well my friends with just be a chicken saag 😀. The dish is named after the pan. The karahi pan…
