Whilst this dish may sound complicated it really isn’t. Like most dishes, it’s easy to get put off by processes but this dish is so simple to make and so rewarding. I’ve cooked a few different versions of a chickpea curry and most authors offer a slightly different regional take on them, they are all…

Pan fried salmon & shrimp balti ❤️ – a nice dish to celebrate having fish on Good Friday
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…
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…
Lamb keema saag balti ❤️
Love this dish. That’s 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 show…spice mix call panch pooran. I mixture of many seeds put together to enhance any dish. I’ve 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 ❤️
As I’m sat in a car park whilst my son is at scouts I just thought I’d 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 ❤️
Another dish taken from Rick Stein’s – Far Eastern Odyssey cook book. The recipe is nice and simple. 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 ❤️
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 again…..no beer in the house to enjoy it with !!!!!! This dish is usually a quicker dish…
Mango chicken curry ❤️
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…
