One of my favourite Indian meals – the humble and underrated dhal. A staple meal of millions of houses in India. You can cook and add anything into a dhal. For me it’s either a fantastic side dish or equally amazing main! I’ve spent hours in the kitchen cooking dhals using various lentils & beans….

Green Dahl with rhubarb & ginger ( with the added bonus of the rhubarb coming from my own garden) ❤️
Having recently purchased the cook book from Mowgli I loved the sound of this dish as it put together two of my favourite ingredients, lentils & rhubarb. The rhubarb gives the dish this unbelievable ‘zingy’ taste from the tartness the rhubarb has to offer. From garden to plate within just under two hours as the…
Mowgli ‘angry bird chicken’ with left over dhal & Jalfrezi
This dish was inspired from my first ever visit to Mowgli’s in Birmingham New Street station. Just couldn’t believe I’d never been there before, the menu being based on street food just blew me away, to the point I went out purchased their book the following day!! I’ve already made several dishes which have really…

Paneer in tomato & cashew gravy – National Curry Week 3rd – 9th October

I cooked this dish purely because I had all the ingredients in the house plus I had some paneer that needed using up. There are two parts to 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…
Butter Paneer 👌
I love paneer, it’s as simple as that. Some people would turn their nose up at a cheese curry…..yes….I agree when you say it like that it doesn’t sound that appealing. However, paneer is simply stunning. Butter paneer is a great dish. It’s a very quick dish to cook, a handful of everyday ingredients that…
