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. Last night as I was cooking for myself and not really hungry I just fancied something simple which I could pick at…..problem is…..I couldn’t…
Broccoli curry – Something different 👍
Vegetarian curries are the norm in India. They are a cheap and modest mainstay of society. I’ve cooked quite a few different vegetable curries whilst I’ve been on my food journey as I want to experience as much of the traditional food as I can as I ultimately know I’ll never get the chance to…
Kerala fish curry 🍛
This dish might not look nice to the eye but wow. This regional dish from the southern region of Kerala is synonymous with the area due to fresh fish and spices and yes this dish certainly does have a nice kick from the spices. I did hold back with the chilli powder as I was…
Chicken Rezala
I made this a couple of weeks ago, the last dish of note that I’ve cooked due to a number of distractions. This dish itself is a wholesome dish packed with flavour, it’s a take on a tikka masala but with more of a punch! Ingredients- 3 tbsp of rapeseed oil, 2 tbsp of garlic…
Simple everyday Katsu curry sauce ❤️
One of the biggest fears in the kitchen is making your own sauces. People are put off as they think it’s too complicated or it takes too long…especially when we live in a society rushing around a million miles per hour. Trust me, making your own sauces as far more rewarding!! Take the time and…
Lamb Jalfrezi – the perfect way to unwind on a Friday night ❤️
What can I say about a Jalfrezi that hasn’t been said before ? Nothing…..as this is now the UK’s most ordered takeaway meal. I’ve made Jalfrezi’s that many times now I think I can make it now with my eyes closed. Just like any profession, the more you do the better you become almost robot…
Beef Panang Curry
I made this a week or so ago and finally catching up as I didn’t know what to write about this this. Let me explain. With a lot going on I’ve not been focused enough to blog my thoughts, plus who cares about my thoughts…right? Thai food fascinates me. I do think though with Thai…
Penang curry paste from scratch 👍
Well, I keep going back and trying to make Thai inspired food. I’m determined to crack this and win over people in my household. It’s difficult when I’m the only person in the house that will eat Thai food and flavours but that’s not going to stop me as I’m keen to keep learning. People…
Paneer in tomato & cashew gravy – National Curry Week 3rd – 9th October
This dish is taken from Atul Kochhar’s book ‘Curry Everyday’. I’ve mentioned before that this book is purely vegetarian with over 100 recipes to choose from. I cooked this dish purely because I had all the ingredients in the house plus I had some paneer that needed using up. There are two parts to this…
