Traditional Chicken Curry
My go to curry will be usually anything that involves lamb or king prawns. Sadly with the cost of lamb jumping to crazy prices lamb is now off the menu for a while. When cooking a curry dish and I use chicken I only ever use chicken thighs. I find thighs are the best cut….
Saag Paneer
It’s been a while since I’ve written any posts sorry. Life has been a bit up and down so cooking and writing has taken a backseat. I’ve continued to post on Instagram but with not much effort or passion. Kind have been going through the motions just to keep the Instagram site active. So here…
A family favourite – Chicken Chasni.
Love this dish, so does my eldest son. A firm family favourite due due to the amazing sweet flavours of the dish. Branded by Dan Toombs as the ‘new chicken tikka masala’ and after having it a number of times I can clearly see why, a real crowd pleaser. The dish itself brings together ingredients…

Heavenly Lamb Bhuna
Absolutely stunning dish.Making the spiced lamb 24 hours beforehand certainly took this dish to another level ( see previous post). Making the stew as the same process as doing a marinade, takes a few minutes than bang…flavour party. Ingredients- rapeseed oil, 1 diced onion, 1/4 of a red pepper diced, 3 tbsp of finely diced…
