Having recently purchased the cook book from Mowgli I loved the sound of this dish as it put together two of my favourite ingredients, lentils & rhubarb. The rhubarb gives the dish this unbelievable ‘zingy’ taste from the tartness the rhubarb has to offer. From garden to plate within just under two hours as the…

Egg & lentil curry
I haven’t posted in a while. Life has taken over but the cooking hasn’t stopped. If anything the cooking has increased trying to find the ultimate way of shutting off. I cooked this dish after I’d worked in Leeds for the day which is as 230 mile round trip leaving early and getting home late….
Balti chicken & black beans 👍
A very simple recipe using the leftovers from my curry orders. I always have a tin of black beans in the cupboard along with butter beans, cannelloni beans & red kidney beans as these can be used to bulk out any meal. This recipe only requires a handful of ingredients and takes about 15 minutes…
Sichuan chilli tomato chicken & steamed rice
This dish may not feed the eye but it certainly fed the stomach. Still getting to grips with basic Chinese cooking but this dish was a delight to make and eat. The recipe again was taken from Ching-He Huang’s – Ching’s Fast Food cook book. As I’ve previously mentioned this cook breaks down Chinese cooking…
Kung Po Chicken with steamed Jasmine rice.
Chinese cooking has fascinated me for years, how flavours can be brought together at speed. My first ever takeaway when at middle school was king prawns and tomatoes with egg fried rice and I can remember it like yesterday. Trying to get my head around the flavours and speed it was cooked in from a…
Punjabi chicken curry
A traditional dish from India. A dish that brings all the flavours together brilliantly. I really enjoy cooking traditional dishes as this helps me understand the balance of spice & flavours. You can then bring this to the westernised dishes that I’m trying to perfect. Traditional recipes aren’t as complex as you’d think…if you get…
Indo-Chinese sweet & sour chicken 👍
A perfect mixture of Indian food meeting Chinese food ❤️. I’ve 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 at…..problem is…..I couldn’t…
Broccoli curry – Something different 👍
Vegetarian curries are the norm in India. They are a cheap and modest mainstay of society. I’ve cooked quite a few different vegetable curries whilst I’ve been on my food journey as I want to experience as much of the traditional food as I can as I ultimately know I’ll never get the chance to…
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…
Chicken Rezala
I made this a couple of weeks ago, the last dish of note that I’ve cooked due to a number of distractions. This dish itself is a wholesome dish packed with flavour, it’s a take on a tikka masala but with more of a punch! Ingredients- 3 tbsp of rapeseed oil, 2 tbsp of garlic…
