A new dish for me. Using flavours and combinations I’d would have never thought would go together. Having read up on the dish, a pasanda curry has been around for a couple of hundred years way before chilli’s and spices were introduced. A couple of plus points about this dish. I’ve never cooked an Indian…

Punjabi chicken curry
A traditional dish from India. A dish that brings all the flavours together brilliantly. I really enjoy cooking traditional dishes as this helps me understand the balance of spice & flavours. You can then bring this to the westernised dishes that I’m trying to perfect. Traditional recipes aren’t as complex as you’d think…if you get…
Indo-Chinese sweet & sour chicken 👍
A perfect mixture of Indian food meeting Chinese food ❤️. I’ve known of this dish for a number of years through a work colleague but never got round to cooking it.

Broccoli curry – Something different 👍

Food memories are valuable memories to us all. If we all take a moment most of our fondest memories revolve around a gathering of friends / families to share an occasion. Food is not just food….it’s an experience. I love making this dish. I’ve only made it a few times but each time I’ve nailed…
Authentic chicken handi – perfect Friday night escapism 👍
Terrible week at work. Everyone counting down to the weekend. Even on Thursday morning I was trying to plan a curry for Friday night which wouldn’t be to taxing, a way of shutting off, economical, be able to have a wee drink to leave work behind. Can’t say much more than that in the public…
