A perfect mixture of Indian food meeting Chinese food ❤️. I’ve 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 at…..problem is…..I couldn’t…

Chicken Rezala
I made this a couple of weeks ago, the last dish of note that I’ve cooked due to a number of distractions. This dish itself is a wholesome dish packed with flavour, it’s a take on a tikka masala but with more of a punch! Ingredients- 3 tbsp of rapeseed oil, 2 tbsp of garlic…
Chicken Dhansak – The start of National Curry week – 3rd to the 9th October
Even though a Dhansak is one of the most popular dishes served in UK curry houses its not a dish I would normally order. Part of my food journey is to understand all forms of Indian & Asian cooking, embracing all the different techniques, methods, ingredients & flavours. I have to admit, I’ve made this…
Chicken Vindail with dhal – belter of a dish.
Another new dish for me. Taken from my food hero’s 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…
Heathy eating – A nod to Joe Wicks.
As costs are sadly increasing as is the waist line as we become older we’ve been looking at cost effective cooking which is healthy. My partner picked up a book by chance from a charity shop by Joe Wicks. Needless to say, we now have 6! Ok many of the recipes are duplicated but if…
Chicken ruby – a dish made famous by Dishoom
Having received the Dishoom book for Christmas 2021 I was hooked. I’d seen Dishoom in India on tv and I was fascinated by the food and the theatre of the restaurant. I have been fortunate to eat at the Birmingham restaurant once but for me it’s a place I can only visit rarely due to…
Chicken Pathia – brilliant food memory ❤️
This my friends way back when I was 19 (1997) was my first experience of Indian food. Having been out on the road all day repping I was starving. Having not left my torn my ACL for the first time I was conscious of eating too much during the day and being sat in a…
Beautiful Chicken pakoras
I simply loved these. At first you think….I can’t make this. However, when you actually drill down into the recipe you realise how simple these are to make, such a great tasty starter. Recipe taken from the great Dan Toombs. Ingredients- 250g of chicken thighs ( I only ever use chicken thighs as far more…
Chicken katsu curry
One of my first memories of Wagamama was the katsu curry which I had in Sheffield. This dish for me was a pivotal moment with bringing amazing flavours together. The Wagamama cook books are brilliant. So simple and very easy to follow bringing their amazing dishes to your dining table. The sauce is a simple…
Chettinad Chicken Curry
Quite a complex dish to make. A tip….never start this in an evening after coming home from work. This is perfect for a Saturday afternoon with some really good tunes on in the kitchen working your magic. Once all the graft is done you can sit back and enjoy this dish with a few cold…
