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…

A beautiful lamb rogan josh ❤️
This my curry lovers is a beautiful dish. A completely different way to cooking your British restaurant/ takeaway favourite. Your restaurant/ takeaway classic flavours are built up and use a base sauce, this dish has two steps using the same pan and the flavours come from a wonderful mix of spices and reusing the stock…
‘House black dhal’ a favourite of mine ❤️
I love cooking dhal’s. You can pack a lot of flavour into a humble lentil. Restaurants like Dishoom & Mowgli do brilliant versions. Both require slow cooking methods which for me is great as you can start the process then go off and do other things around the house. The version on this blog has…
Bombay Aloo 👌
I cooked this dish part of a multi dish evening with friends. If I’m honest it was meant to be a side dish but it actually ended up being the star of the show. Not only did it feed 4 adults it fed another friend who took some home the following day. Ingredients- 4 tbsp…
Indo-Chinese sweet & sour chicken 👌
I love this dish. Proper bowl of comfort food. Who doesn’t love sticky chicken ? Especially when combining Indian & Chinese flavours. One of the other great things about this dish is the cost !! A cheap and cheerful dish, ideal for entertaining friends. Ingredients- 1 kilo of chicken wings, garlic salt, rapeseed oil, cornflour…
Fried whitebait, the Sri Lankan way and my homemade chilli jam ❤️
The beautiful thing about finishing work early for the Christmas break is that I find myself having extra time in the kitchen. I’ve always wanted to try a ‘spicier’ version of the traditional whitebait you have here in the UK. This dish didn’t disappoint. The recipe was taken from Madhur jaffrey’s ‘Curry Easy’ cookbook. I…
Lamb keema saag balti ❤️
Love this dish. That’s all I have to say !! Proper family favourite, amazing how you can take two humble ingredients and take them together another level just by understanding flavour combinations. The real star or the show…spice mix call panch pooran. I mixture of many seeds put together to enhance any dish. I’ve made…
The famous IKEA meatball sauce – the real reason people go to IKEA !!
The queues in the Ikea food hall used to say it all. They may of not doing anything else (although their fry ups were great value for money). Everyone loves their meatballs & the sauce it came with, again even though you wouldn’t expect it this is a good food memory of mine. The sauce…
Pav Bhaji Masala – heavenly ❤️
I spotted this recipe on Instagram from an Indian cooking influencer and I was instantly fascinated by its simplicity and the overall concept. The following evening I took a stroll around to a local Indian deli that’s popped up on the housing estate behind me ( quite a random place for kind of authentic shop…
Tandoori chicken Madras 🌶️🌶️
Thought I’d do a little update as I’ve not written for a while due to a number of distractions 😞. Just taking a moment to write this ok a Sunday morning with a cuppa in bed. When it comes to curries, I’m all about flavour over heat. I do like to enjoy the flavours that…
