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), thatās as hard as it gets!!! The paste is surprisingly good, especially as itās made with grated apple !!! Yes youāve read that…

A beautiful lamb rogan josh ā¤ļø
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…
Lamb keema saag balti ā¤ļø
Love this dish. Thatās all I have to say !! Proper family favourite, amazing how you can take two humble ingredients and take them together another level just by understanding flavour combinations. The real star or the showā¦spice mix call panch pooran. I mixture of many seeds put together to enhance any dish. Iāve made…
Classic lemon tart !
This for me is stepping outside of my comfort zone. Think I wanted to prove I could do it whilst having an unwinding Sunday. Simplicity is the key with only using 5 ingredients but as I found out a few stages that I found a little tricky, The proof as they say is in the…
Thai inspired chicken & cashew nuts ā¤ļø
As Iām sat in a car park whilst my son is at scouts I just thought Iād catch up with a dish I made a week or so ago. I wanted to cook something which needed nothing buying as I had all the ingredients within the house. I stumbled over this recipe whilst flicking through…
Aubergine curry with tomatoes, ginger & fennel seeds ā¤ļø

Another contributing factor I picked this recipe as all I needed to purchase was the aubergines which cost 80p each. I had all the other ingredients in the house plus the mint that was used I picked…
Chicken Rezala & homemade dhal ā¤ļø
Simple, beautiful cooking. These are the only words needed to describe this dish. Dish is similar to a tikka masala but with more heat running through it. I keep making the same mistake though sadly over & over againā¦..no beer in the house to enjoy it with !!!!!! This dish is usually a quicker dish…
Mango chicken curry ā¤ļø
What an absolutely stunning dish. Amazing combination of spice and sweetness. So much flavour literally from the first mouthful. Such a quick dish to make. By the time the rice had boiled and put aside to steam itself the mango chicken curry was finished. Ingredients- 2/3 tbsp of rapeseed oil, 2 tbsp of heaped garlic…
Keralan Black Treacle Salmon ā¤ļø
Thisā¦..is one of the best Indian inspired dishes Iāve ever made!!! This takes home cooking to another level. The flavours within the dish were insaneā¦yet so simple. Again over the past few days Iāve used two different methods of cooking the fish within one dish, both of which Iāve done before but I wouldnāt have…
Mowgli āangry bird chickenā with left over dhal & Jalfrezi
This dish was inspired from my first ever visit to Mowgliās in Birmingham New Street station. Just couldnāt believe Iād 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!! Iāve already made several dishes which have really…
