This dish is taken from Atul Kochhar’s book ‘Curry Everyday’. I’ve mentioned before that this book is purely vegetarian with over 100 recipes to choose from. I cooked this dish purely because I had all the ingredients in the house plus I had some paneer that needed using up. There are two parts to this…

Chicken Dhansak – The start of National Curry week – 3rd to the 9th October
Even though a Dhansak is one of the most popular dishes served in UK curry houses its not a dish I would normally order. Part of my food journey is to understand all forms of Indian & Asian cooking, embracing all the different techniques, methods, ingredients & flavours. I have to admit, I’ve made this…
Chicken Vindail with dhal – belter of a dish.
Another new dish for me. Taken from my food hero’s cook book – Rick Steins India written after his successful TV series of the same name. A few reasons I was drawn to this recipe – 1. a cheap dish to make as I only needed to buy the chicken thighs on the bone which…
Chicken ruby – a dish made famous by Dishoom
Having received the Dishoom book for Christmas 2021 I was hooked. I’d seen Dishoom in India on tv and I was fascinated by the food and the theatre of the restaurant. I have been fortunate to eat at the Birmingham restaurant once but for me it’s a place I can only visit rarely due to…
Chicken Pathia – brilliant food memory ❤️

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…
