A perfect mixture of Indian food meeting Chinese food ā¤ļø. Iāve known of this dish for a number of years through a work colleague but never got round to cooking it. Last night as I was cooking for myself and not really hungry I just fancied something simple which I could pick atā¦..problem isā¦..I couldnāt…

Broccoli curry – Something different š
Vegetarian curries are the norm in India. They are a cheap and modest mainstay of society. Iāve cooked quite a few different vegetable curries whilst Iāve been on my food journey as I want to experience as much of the traditional food as I can as I ultimately know Iāll never get the chance to…
Kerala fish curry š
This dish might not look nice to the eye but wow. This regional dish from the southern region of Kerala is synonymous with the area due to fresh fish and spices and yes this dish certainly does have a nice kick from the spices. I did hold back with the chilli powder as I was…
Chicken Rezala
I made this a couple of weeks ago, the last dish of note that Iāve cooked due to a number of distractions. This dish itself is a wholesome dish packed with flavour, itās a take on a tikka masala but with more of a punch! Ingredients- 3 tbsp of rapeseed oil, 2 tbsp of garlic…
Simple everyday Katsu curry sauce ā¤ļø
One of the biggest fears in the kitchen is making your own sauces. People are put off as they think itās too complicated or it takes too longā¦especially when we live in a society rushing around a million miles per hour. Trust me, making your own sauces as far more rewarding!! Take the time and…
Lamb Jalfrezi – the perfect way to unwind on a Friday night ā¤ļø
What can I say about a Jalfrezi that hasnāt been said before ? Nothingā¦..as this is now the UKās most ordered takeaway meal. Iāve made Jalfreziās that many times now I think I can make it now with my eyes closed. Just like any profession, the more you do the better you become almost robot…
Penang curry paste from scratch š
Well, I keep going back and trying to make Thai inspired food. Iām determined to crack this and win over people in my household. Itās difficult when Iām the only person in the house that will eat Thai food and flavours but thatās not going to stop me as Iām keen to keep learning. People…
Paneer in tomato & cashew gravy – National Curry Week 3rd – 9th October
This dish is taken from Atul Kochharās book āCurry Everydayā. Iāve mentioned before that this book is purely vegetarian with over 100 recipes to choose from. I cooked this dish purely because I had all the ingredients in the house plus I had some paneer that needed using up. There are two parts to this…
Chicken Dhansak – The start of National Curry week – 3rd to the 9th October
Even though a Dhansak is one of the most popular dishes served in UK curry houses its not a dish I would normally order. Part of my food journey is to understand all forms of Indian & Asian cooking, embracing all the different techniques, methods, ingredients & flavours. I have to admit, I’ve made this…
Chicken Vindail with dhal – belter of a dish.
Another new dish for me. Taken from my food heroās cook book – Rick Steins India written after his successful TV series of the same name. A few reasons I was drawn to this recipe – 1. a cheap dish to make as I only needed to buy the chicken thighs on the bone which…
