šŸŒ¶ļøChicken Vindaloo…..potential stingeršŸŒ¶ļø

Very nervous about cooking this dish. All the cooking I do is based around flavour rather than wanting to blow my head off with heat and lose the ability to enjoy the meal. When I see those ‘macho’ guys sitting in a restaurant trying to convince their friends and family they are enjoying the meal…

Old fashioned Delhi style lamb bhuna ā¤ļø

I haven’t posted for a while as I’ve had too many personal distractions. However, the cooking has helped.

The ā€˜authentic’ dishes have a completely different make up and method to the westernised dishes which I find more appealing. Westernised dishes…

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…

The whole books concept is about taking familiar recipes and being ā€˜Bold’ by stepping outside of the box….it has my name written all over it.

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 ā€˜hot, sweet & sour’ dish. A perfect mix of flavours basically created by Kashmiri chill powder, sugar, mango…
