Once you’ve made the Thai yellow curry paste in my previous post then this recipe is a doddle!! The flavour balance is really interesting. This dish does have an Indian influence running through it which is really nice. Highly recommend it, especially if you have made the paste as it’s so rewarding. Again, this recipe…

Homemade Thai yellow curry paste.
The more I make these pastes the more I enjoy the process. Nothing better than making your own pastes as this gives you total satisfaction, well it does me anyway!!! This paste will compliment the Thai yellow chicken curry about to make. Again, the recipe is taken from the legend that is Dan Toombs. If…
Grilled Asian inspired scallops
I love scallops. Due to most supermarkets and fishmongers moving to hand dived method of catching scallops the prices have shot up….and rightly so. Sustainable fishing practices should be put into place fully to protect our fishing stocks. Sadly though due to this cost rise scallops aren’t something I’d pick up nowadays. Thankfully these were…
Creamy Black Dhal 👌
This recipe was taken from Dishoom. I first discovered Dishoom when Rick Stein visited the original restaurant on his tv series – Rick Steins India. I have to be honest I didn’t really pay them much attention. Last year for my birthday I was gifted the Dishoom cook book. It’s not like any cook book…

Traditional Chicken Curry
My go to curry will be usually anything that involves lamb or king prawns. Sadly with the cost of lamb jumping to crazy prices lamb is now off the menu for a while. When cooking a curry dish and I use chicken I only ever use chicken thighs. I find thighs are the best cut….
Saag Paneer
It’s been a while since I’ve written any posts sorry. Life has been a bit up and down so cooking and writing has taken a backseat. I’ve continued to post on Instagram but with not much effort or passion. Kind have been going through the motions just to keep the Instagram site active. So here…

Amazing chicken chilli garlic !!!After spending the day doing DIY this dish was the perfect way to relax…..with a beer of course!!!!Again, such a simple & rewarding dish which tasted so good.

Heavenly Lamb Bhuna
Absolutely stunning dish.Making the spiced lamb 24 hours beforehand certainly took this dish to another level ( see previous post). Making the stew as the same process as doing a marinade, takes a few minutes than bang…flavour party. Ingredients- rapeseed oil, 1 diced onion, 1/4 of a red pepper diced, 3 tbsp of finely diced…
