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…

Punjabi paneer & peas 👌
Recently I’ve been eating too much meat and having recent purchased a new cook book from someone I’ve been following on Instagram I thought this was the perfect recipe to make on a warm weekday night. I’ve many paneer recipes and cooked a number of different versions of this recipe but it’s good to have…
Chicken & banana korma – it will blow your mind !!
Chicken & banana korma !!Yes you read that correctly!! Recipe taken from Nisha Katona’s cookbook called ‘Bold’. The whole books concept is about taking familiar recipes and being ‘Bold’ by stepping outside of the box….it has my name written all over it. I’ve never been one for ‘doing what’s always been done’ or ‘that’s the…
Simple & easy Pathia ❤️
I’ve blogged before about my love for a pathia. Pathia was my first introduction to Indian food aged 19 from a little restaurant in Coleshill. It’s one of those food memories you’ll never forget. I love this ‘hot, sweet & sour’ dish. A perfect mix of flavours basically created by Kashmiri chill powder, sugar, mango…
Chicken curry with cardamoms – heavenly ❤️
This is a wonderful, basic flavoursome dish for the whole family. Simple cooking methods, very few ingredients which makes the whole process easy from start to finish. As you would expect, taking the recipe from Madhur Jaffrey’s cookbook called ‘Curry Easy’ says it all. The recipe is stripped back and so easy to follow. Whilst…
Pan fried salmon & shrimp balti ❤️ – a nice dish to celebrate having fish on Good Friday
I’ve struggled making a balti now for a few year. I’ve just not been able to get the flavoursome thick balti gravy right. This simplified recipe helped me crack it. Really pleased with the outcome. I’ve modified the dish to remove the meat content. Replaced the meat with fish substitutes and swapped the chicken stock…
Lamb bhuna ❤️ an alternative way of cooking this classic 👍
Love making this dish. This method again is different to your usual restaurant/ takeaway version as it consists of no base sauce, you make your own sauce ! Again, it’s a simple recipe to follow and can be cooked in the same time it usually takes your local takeaway have it ready. Ingredients- 4 tbsp…
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…
Chicken pasanda – a curry cooked with red wine…..
A new dish for me. Using flavours and combinations I’d would have never thought would go together. Having read up on the dish, a pasanda curry has been around for a couple of hundred years way before chilli’s and spices were introduced. A couple of plus points about this dish. I’ve never cooked an Indian…
Yes…can you believe it…. I’ve cooked a Korma !!
Yes I’m as shocked as the next person! I’ve never cooked, tried or even thought about cooking a korma from scratch before. Other than children and Stacey from Gavin and Stacey….who orders or eats a Korma ??? However, this was just one of those weeks which I felt I wanted to challenge myself even more…
