This dish has fascinated me for many years. A popular dish in India and Sri Lanka. It’s fascinated me due to the fact you are taking a very humble ingredient ‘the beetroot’ to be the star of the show! Many many versions of this dish have the beetroot cooked in coconut milk to have a…

🌶️Chicken Vindaloo…..potential stinger🌶️
Very nervous about cooking this dish. All the cooking I do is based around flavour rather than wanting to blow my head off with heat and lose the ability to enjoy the meal. When I see those ‘macho’ guys sitting in a restaurant trying to convince their friends and family they are enjoying the meal…
Lamb keema shimla mirch – simplified version ❤️
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…
The famous IKEA meatball sauce – the real reason people go to IKEA !!
The queues in the Ikea food hall used to say it all. They may of not doing anything else (although their fry ups were great value for money). Everyone loves their meatballs & the sauce it came with, again even though you wouldn’t expect it this is a good food memory of mine. The sauce…
Aubergine curry with tomatoes, ginger & fennel seeds ❤️
Another dish taken from Rick Stein’s – Far Eastern Odyssey cook book. The recipe is nice and simple. Another contributing factor I picked this recipe as all I needed to purchase was the aubergines which cost 80p each. I had all the other ingredients in the house plus the mint that was used I picked…
Beef Kofta Curry 👍
My best ever homemade dish ❤️. What a tasty dish this was!! The flavours just kept flowing through each mouthful. One of the best plates of food I’ve ever made. The recipe was taken from Rick Steins – Far Eastern Odyssey. The last book I purchased to complete his collection. I think almost all of…
Chicken keema shimla mirch ❤️
This dish was perfect for a Saturday night chill in the kitchen due to its simplicity. If you cook Indian food regularly then all the ingredients are staple cupboard items – apart from the chicken mince (which at times can be a pain in the ar@e to get!!). If you can’t get chicken mince then…
Mango chicken curry ❤️
What an absolutely stunning dish. Amazing combination of spice and sweetness. So much flavour literally from the first mouthful. Such a quick dish to make. By the time the rice had boiled and put aside to steam itself the mango chicken curry was finished. Ingredients- 2/3 tbsp of rapeseed oil, 2 tbsp of heaped garlic…
Tofu & beansprout curry ❤️
I’ve previously written about making this tofu curry and I’ve had to blog about it again due to how nice it was. After a long and at times challenging week with work this was the perfect dish to come home on a Friday and shut off with, it’s stages are so simple and the whole…
Goan fish curry ❤️
After a recent visit to Mowgli I was blown away with the flavours of this dish. I’ve had a number of Goan fish curries from a number of restaurants but nothing as tasty as this!! Goan curries usually have a hot and tangy heat running through them however this was tangy and sweet….and I now…
