I simply loved these. At first you think….I can’t make this. However, when you actually drill down into the recipe you realise how simple these are to make, such a great tasty starter. Recipe taken from the great Dan Toombs. Ingredients- 250g of chicken thighs ( I only ever use chicken thighs as far more…

Jackfruit & aubergine curry.
Sustainable foods. Many people over the years have turned their noses up even considering alternatives to meat. Having been gifted the new cook book for my birthday by Atul Kochhar – Curry everyday. 100 simple vegetarian recipes. This book my friends has opened my eyes for sure. I will blog about this in my next…
Chettinad Chicken Curry
Quite a complex dish to make. A tip….never start this in an evening after coming home from work. This is perfect for a Saturday afternoon with some really good tunes on in the kitchen working your magic. Once all the graft is done you can sit back and enjoy this dish with a few cold…
Creamy Black Dhal 👌
This recipe was taken from Dishoom. I first discovered Dishoom when Rick Stein visited the original restaurant on his tv series – Rick Steins India. I have to be honest I didn’t really pay them much attention. Last year for my birthday I was gifted the Dishoom cook book. It’s not like any cook book…
Hyderabad Chicken Curry
This recipe was taken from ‘Anjum’s New Indian’ cook book. At first having read the recipe I was a little unsure but having now made it I can safely say it was delicious. Anjum writes she has done her own take on a classic local dinner party dish, too be fair she has done a…
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…
Kashmiri Mutton Rogan Josh ❤️
Rather than the ‘westernised’ version of a rogan josh this dish is more of your traditional type of dish. So many lovely flavours brought together by the slow cooking of the lamb this is the perfect dish you can do over 24 hours due the marinating of the lamb then place everything in a heavy…
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…
Lamb seekh kebabs….a touch of class 👌
I’m not one for making starters. Not sure why! Recently I’ve decided to push myself a little further. One of the two I’ve made in recent weeks were these stunning and simple lamb seekh kebabs. I’ll be repeating these over and over again due to how good they actually were. I really can’t understand why…
