The classic Mowgli prawn curry

What a joy of dish this was to make !! A simple dish which took less than 20 minutes to make with very little preparation. A ‘sweet’ tasting dish due to the perfect marriage of ingredients. I’ve mentioned it before, the more Indian / Asian cooking you do the more you build up your larder…

Prawn Puri ❤️

I love this dish, one of my favourite starters. I’ve wanted to recreate this dish for a while, last night was my first attempt at this. I do agree with the legend Dan Toombs, you can judge a good curry house on its prawn puri. Ingredients- rapeseed oil, 1 star anise, small piece of cinnamon…

Kerala fish curry 🍛

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…

Salmon wellington with a white wine sauce – heavenly.

I wanted a challenge. This was the perfect step outside of my comfort zone. Lots of little steps which kept me busy in the kitchen on a wet Sunday afternoon. The salmon was reduced in Morrisons and as we all know you shouldn’t purchase fish from the supermarkets on a Sunday or Monday as they…

Macchi (fish) Tikka and dhal ❤️

Four reasons for loving this dish. 1. The recipe was taken from the Legendary Dishoom and anyone who knows anything about Indian food will know they have a cult status in Mumbai ( or Bombay as they refer to it in the cook book as they prefer history). 2. My love for fish. 3. My…

Tandoori whole fish 👍

I will never get bored of marinating. Simple way of taking food to another level with minimal effort. Just takes planning. The beauty of having a good marinade is that you hardly have to do much in the kitchen. The oven does the rest. Ingredients – 1 tbsp of garlic & ginger paste, 4 tbsp…
