Pork Vindaloo – 👎👍

Part of learning is failing. Sadly in life I’m used to failing. This was such a dish sadly. I think it’s important to showcase your failings otherwise you will never learn. I knew instantly my mistakes whilst cooking this dish. I’m more upset about the waste of money. When money is precious you can’t afford…

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…

Slow-cooked pork with ginger, chilli & sweet soy sauce ❤️

Love cooking ‘one pot’ dishes. This dish was such a simple dish to make, full of flavour, only a few ingredients which took no time at all to prepare which enables you to go off and do other things whilst it’s doing its magic. I’ve never cooked a dish from Bali so I was quite…

Spicy fried potato curry with paneer cheese & peas 👍

This is a lovely dish. The flavours burst through giving you a beautiful tasting plate of food. It’s a fantastic way of lifting potatoes to another level, but the surprising element of the dish….is the peas. Trust me, try the dish and you’ll understand what I’m rambling about. Ingredients- 4 tbsp of vegetable oil, 250g…

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…

Beef Kofta Curry 👍

My best ever homemade dish ❤️. What a tasty dish this was!! The flavours just kept flowing through each mouthful. One of the best plates of food I’ve ever made. The recipe was taken from Rick Steins – Far Eastern Odyssey. The last book I purchased to complete his collection. I think almost all of…

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…

Chicken keema shimla mirch ❤️

This dish was perfect for a Saturday night chill in the kitchen due to its simplicity. If you cook Indian food regularly then all the ingredients are staple cupboard items – apart from the chicken mince (which at times can be a pain in the ar@e to get!!). If you can’t get chicken mince then…

Lamb keema saag balti – my version

I just love lamb in any Indian dish. Lamb just takes on the flavours beautifully. Lamb keema is a great example of this. Plus it’s a quick dish that can be made quickly along with being left to cook away whilst you can go off and do other jobs, perfect when your life just doesn’t…
