I’ve struggled making a balti now for a few year. I’ve just not been able to get the flavoursome thick balti gravy right. This simplified recipe helped me crack it. Really pleased with the outcome. I’ve modified the dish to remove the meat content. Replaced the meat with fish substitutes and swapped the chicken stock…

Japanese curry – with a twist 👍 (making the very best of leftovers)
Wow. What a dish, for so many reasons!!!!! Firstly, this was my first attempt at making this curry. The flavours are amazing. Most of the work goes into making the paste (roux), that’s as hard as it gets!!! The paste is surprisingly good, especially as it’s made with grated apple !!! Yes you’ve read that…
Lamb bhuna ❤️ an alternative way of cooking this classic 👍
Love making this dish. This method again is different to your usual restaurant/ takeaway version as it consists of no base sauce, you make your own sauce ! Again, it’s a simple recipe to follow and can be cooked in the same time it usually takes your local takeaway have it ready. Ingredients- 4 tbsp…
Chicken pasanda – a curry cooked with red wine…..
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…
Chicken tikka masala – Family favourite ideal for little ones ❤️
This is a beautiful dish for a number of reasons. 1. Full of flavour. 2. Brilliant way to introduce little ones to Indian food. 3. Simple recipe. 4. One pot cooking which is always a plus!! This isn’t how I would normally make this dish but due to my eldest son’s love for the dish…
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…
Christmas Dinner – best meal of the year by far ❤️ – My idiots guide to cooking.
Christmas dinner for me is the best meal to sit down and enjoy. I love cooking Christmas dinner. In the past I’ve cooked it for 16 people and just for 2, the same effort and passion goes in to it regardless of numbers. It was a big thing in my house growing up so I’ve…
