I haven’t posted for a while as I’ve had too many personal distractions. However, the cooking has helped. I’ve put a lot of focus into cooking authentic dishes whilst still cooking ‘westernised recipes’. The ‘authentic’ dishes have a completely different make up and method to the westernised dishes which I find more appealing. Westernised dishes…

Punjabi chickpea curry ❤️
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…
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…
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…
Rajasthani Red Meat 👍
This another dish that I’ve had chance to experiment with due to finishing work early for Christmas. Again the dish has been taken from Madhur Jaffrey’s ‘Curry Easy’ cook book. When the dish is served in the Rajasthan desert region of India, its colour, comes mainly from the hot ground chillies as its fiery red!…
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…
Goan Beef Kofta Curry – absolute delight of a dish ❤️
I loved cooking this dish, I actually think, this is my best dish to date. The taste and flavours were unreal with many different layers of flavour which just keep coming with each mouthful. It’s such a simple dish to make which makes it even better. What can be better…..a curry that you can make…
Pork Vindaloo – 👎👍
Part of learning is failing. Sadly in life I’m used to failing. This was such a dish sadly. I think it’s important to showcase your failings otherwise you will never learn. I knew instantly my mistakes whilst cooking this dish. I’m more upset about the waste of money. When money is precious you can’t afford…
Aubergine curry with tomatoes, ginger & fennel seeds ❤️
Another dish taken from Rick Stein’s – Far Eastern Odyssey cook book. The recipe is nice and simple. Another contributing factor I picked this recipe as all I needed to purchase was the aubergines which cost 80p each. I had all the other ingredients in the house plus the mint that was used I picked…
