Hyderabad Chicken Curry
This recipe was taken from ‘Anjum’s New Indian’ cook book. At first having read the recipe I was a little unsure but having now made it I can safely say it was delicious. Anjum writes she has done her own take on a classic local dinner party dish, too be fair she has done a…
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….

Fantastic Chinese chicken curry takeaway style.
This is a family favourite. I think every household loves a curry from their local Chinese takeaway. I’ve been making this for a number of years now and it’s a bit of a ‘go to’ dish due to its simple process after being at work all day. Ingredients- chicken thighs, 1 onion quartered then split…
