Whilst this dish may sound complicated it really isn’t. Like most dishes, it’s easy to get put off by processes but this dish is so simple to make and so rewarding. I’ve cooked a few different versions of a chickpea curry and most authors offer a slightly different regional take on them, they are all…

Simple Katsu curry sauce with scampi ❤️🍤
After all the exercise and walking this week again I was thinking of a quick and simple meal I could throw together. What better than to put a pan of rice on, oven on and scampi roasting away on a baking tray and a curry sauce which takes less than 10 minutes to make?? Nothing…
Beef in oyster sauce ❤️🤣
This week has all been about focus. I’ve upped the ante with regards to fitness and working my heart. From Tuesday morning until Friday evening I’ve walked 32 miles (70,000 plus steps) to work and back each day as the weather has changed here in the UK. After doing the exercise daily by the end…
Japanese curry – with a twist 👍 (making the very best of leftovers)
Wow. What a dish, for so many reasons!!!!! Firstly, this was my first attempt at making this curry. The flavours are amazing. Most of the work goes into making the paste (roux), that’s as hard as it gets!!! The paste is surprisingly good, especially as it’s made with grated apple !!! Yes you’ve read that…
Lamb Saag – alternative way of cooking this beautiful dish 👍
I love a saag dish. Over the years it’s a dish I’ve been drawn towards more. I’ve always been a fan of spinach so to be able to cook this and be the main feature of a curry fascinates me. This method again is different to the restaurant/ takeaway version as it uses no base…
‘House black dhal’ a favourite of mine ❤️
I love cooking dhal’s. You can pack a lot of flavour into a humble lentil. Restaurants like Dishoom & Mowgli do brilliant versions. Both require slow cooking methods which for me is great as you can start the process then go off and do other things around the house. The version on this blog has…
Fried whitebait, the Sri Lankan way and my homemade chilli jam ❤️
The beautiful thing about finishing work early for the Christmas break is that I find myself having extra time in the kitchen. I’ve always wanted to try a ‘spicier’ version of the traditional whitebait you have here in the UK. This dish didn’t disappoint. The recipe was taken from Madhur jaffrey’s ‘Curry Easy’ cookbook. I…
Pav Bhaji Masala – heavenly ❤️
I spotted this recipe on Instagram from an Indian cooking influencer and I was instantly fascinated by its simplicity and the overall concept. The following evening I took a stroll around to a local Indian deli that’s popped up on the housing estate behind me ( quite a random place for kind of authentic shop…
Goan Beef Kofta Curry – absolute delight of a dish ❤️
I loved cooking this dish, I actually think, this is my best dish to date. The taste and flavours were unreal with many different layers of flavour which just keep coming with each mouthful. It’s such a simple dish to make which makes it even better. What can be better…..a curry that you can make…
Egg Bhurji ( Rustic Indian street food ) with paneer kebabs, mint sauce & coriander dipping sauce.
I had a similar dish whilst away with work in Leeds at an amazing street food restaurant called Bundobust. This authentic restaurant offered quite a large range of street food dishes which took the taste buds to another level. No meat dishes on the menu, loved this concept. They even had their own brewery!! Bonus!!!…
