This…..is one of the best Indian inspired dishes I’ve ever made!!! This takes home cooking to another level. The flavours within the dish were insane…yet so simple. Again over the past few days I’ve used two different methods of cooking the fish within one dish, both of which I’ve done before but I wouldn’t have…

Goan fish curry ❤️
After a recent visit to Mowgli I was blown away with the flavours of this dish. I’ve had a number of Goan fish curries from a number of restaurants but nothing as tasty as this!! Goan curries usually have a hot and tangy heat running through them however this was tangy and sweet….and I now…
The classic Mowgli prawn curry
What a joy of dish this was to make !! A simple dish which took less than 20 minutes to make with very little preparation. A ‘sweet’ tasting dish due to the perfect marriage of ingredients. I’ve mentioned it before, the more Indian / Asian cooking you do the more you build up your larder…
Agra ginger chicken ❤️
My son who was 11 at the time of writing this post asked me for a Indian inspired Sunday lunch! Now I’m not going to miss the chance to do this!! This dish was the perfect way to bring him into the Indian food fold due to it being packed with flavour and goodness with…
Green Dahl with rhubarb & ginger ( with the added bonus of the rhubarb coming from my own garden) ❤️
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…
Mowgli ‘angry bird chicken’ with left over dhal & Jalfrezi
This dish was inspired from my first ever visit to Mowgli’s in Birmingham New Street station. Just couldn’t believe I’d never been there before, the menu being based on street food just blew me away, to the point I went out purchased their book the following day!! I’ve already made several dishes which have really…
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….
Prawn Puri ❤️
I love this dish, one of my favourite starters. I’ve wanted to recreate this dish for a while, last night was my first attempt at this. I do agree with the legend Dan Toombs, you can judge a good curry house on its prawn puri. Ingredients- rapeseed oil, 1 star anise, small piece of cinnamon…
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…
King Prawn Madras 🌶
I’ve never ordered a madras or cooked one. I’ll be honest, I have always been put off with the 🌶 symbols on menus. I’ve always had the opinion of ‘flavour over heat’. After cooking this dish my opinion hasn’t changed. For me, this was far too hot. I’ll admit the flavours were there but the…
