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 š¶
Iāve never ordered a madras or cooked one. Iāll be honest, I have always been put off with the š¶ symbols on menus. Iāve always had the opinion of āflavour over heatā. After cooking this dish my opinion hasnāt changed. For me, this was far too hot. Iāll admit the flavours were there but the…
Punjabi chicken curry
A traditional dish from India. A dish that brings all the flavours together brilliantly. I really enjoy cooking traditional dishes as this helps me understand the balance of spice & flavours. You can then bring this to the westernised dishes that Iām trying to perfect. Traditional recipes arenāt as complex as youād thinkā¦if you get…
Indo-Chinese sweet & sour chicken š
A perfect mixture of Indian food meeting Chinese food ā¤ļø. Iāve known of this dish for a number of years through a work colleague but never got round to cooking it. Last night as I was cooking for myself and not really hungry I just fancied something simple which I could pick atā¦..problem isā¦..I couldnāt…
Broccoli curry – Something different š
Vegetarian curries are the norm in India. They are a cheap and modest mainstay of society. Iāve cooked quite a few different vegetable curries whilst Iāve been on my food journey as I want to experience as much of the traditional food as I can as I ultimately know Iāll never get the chance to…
Chicken Rezala

Lamb Jalfrezi – the perfect way to unwind on a Friday night ā¤ļø
What can I say about a Jalfrezi that hasnāt been said before ? Nothingā¦..as this is now the UKās most ordered takeaway meal. Iāve made Jalfreziās that many times now I think I can make it now with my eyes closed. Just like any profession, the more you do the better you become almost robot…
Beef Panang Curry
I made this a week or so ago and finally catching up as I didnāt know what to write about this this. Let me explain. With a lot going on Iāve not been focused enough to blog my thoughts, plus who cares about my thoughtsā¦right? Thai food fascinates me. I do think though with Thai…
Penang curry paste from scratch š
Well, I keep going back and trying to make Thai inspired food. Iām determined to crack this and win over people in my household. Itās difficult when Iām the only person in the house that will eat Thai food and flavours but thatās not going to stop me as Iām keen to keep learning. People…
Chicken Vindail with dhal – belter of a dish.
Another new dish for me. Taken from my food heroās cook book – Rick Steins India written after his successful TV series of the same name. A few reasons I was drawn to this recipe – 1. a cheap dish to make as I only needed to buy the chicken thighs on the bone which…
