‘Chicken 65’ is a popular starter in most Indian restaurants plus in India. My youngest son asked me to make it as it’s his favourite dish when we eat out at our family favourite Indian restaurant in Hinckley called 7H Spices. He loves the dish that much, he has had it as a starter for…

Mushroom tikka masala with lemon basmati rice ❤️
This beautiful and simple dish takes you to another place. The more I understand Indian cooking the more I swing to vegetarian dishes. Yes, before the cooking police jump on the band wagon and tell me a tikka masala is not a traditional Indian dish….calm down. It’s a beautiful dish using simple ingredients which are…
Lahore fish stew ❤️
Yes I know……it’s been too long since I’ve posted. Life in 2026 has thrown so many curve balls it’s unreal, and to be honest, I wouldn’t know where to start listing them all. Something for certain, no matter what has been thrown in my direction, food has remained my ‘go to’ place for relaxation &…
Cod with spiced cabbage
I love discovering new dishes! This dish was like ‘wow’ !! So much flavour it’s unreal, again with very few ingredients, as they say – ‘less is more’. The recipe is a modified version of a dish by ‘Mother India’ whom I discovered during a work trip to Glasgow. The original recipe used halibut, but…
Crab meat over broccoli – Regional dish from Guangdong 🇨🇳
A simple yet stunning dish made with everyday supermarket ingredients. This beautiful dish is a regional dish which originates from Guangdong in China and it is exactly what it says. A beautiful sauce mixed with crab meat and finished off the heat with a whisked egg white which thickens and holds the sauce together is…

Ingredients- makes 3 toasties 2 tbsp of vegetable oil 1 tsp of cumin seeds Between 10 / 20 curry leaves 1 onion finely diced 3…
Bhindi Aloo Dhabi – (okra and potatoes )❤️
This is a new dish for me on many levels. New as in I’d never attempted it and new as in I’d never eaten okra ❤️. I was inspired to find a recipe and create it after hearing stories from a work colleague about it when he was at home in Indian. I could hear…
Chana gosht ❤️ – lentils & lamb
Two of my favourite ingredients in a single dish, especially in a curry. I love lamb in any curry dish. I think the lamb meat, any cut, holds onto spices better than any other meat. Love a slow cooked lamb dish when the meat flakes apart into the curry. Then there is my favourite side…
Sri Lankan prawn curry ❤️
Hello my friends. It’s been a while I know. I’ve not felt like writing up the cooking I’ve been doing but I know I should. No matter what’s going on in my life, I’ve always found the writing of my food therapeutic which is why I started the page in the first place…..so here goes….
Honey roasted tandoori chicken 👍🏻
This is a fantastic dish to introduce eating back outside. Love eating outside full stop. This dish is perfect for the bbq, however, on this occasion I cooked it inside whilst cooking other meats on the bbq. This dish requires two separate marinades, other than that, the oven will do the rest. Both the marinades…
