Lamb bhuna – alternative method which is stunning !!

I love this dish. Lamb full stop in a curry is sensational but this thick sauce is another level – even better that it’s so easy to make !!!! This again is a different method to your traditional westernised takeaway / restaurant method. I’m not using a pre-made Indian base sauce, I’m making it as…

Egg curry 👌🏻

I first discovered egg curry’s when I removed meat from my diet. At the time I substituted meat with many different types of vegetables, paneer and eggs plus being pescatarian I ate many varieties of fish. Egg curry’s are staple dishes in India for many reasons. Another reason I like this dish is because a…

Rustic chicken chasni ❤️

This dish was a little trip down memory lane. Slightly different to the restaurant style version I’d previously written about. This is the ‘rustic’ homemade ‘one pot’ version. This dish holds a great deal of sentimental value to me. When I was doing my Saturday morning curries this is a dish I had on my…

Chicken jalfrezi – simple and easy family favourite ❤️

Who doesn’t love a jalfrezi ?? This cooking method is different from the westernised restaurants and takeaways as I’m using no base sauce. You make and create the sauce as you make the dish. This version was again cooked to celebrate National Curry Week at the start of October. The beauty of this dish is…

Rajma masala ❤️

I cooked this wonderful dish as part of my National Curry Week celebration at the start of October. This is a fantastic meat alternative curry which is full of flavour. My first attempt at this dish and a dish I’ll cook again for sure. Ingredients- 3 tbsp of rapeseed oil. 1 tsp of cumin seeds….

A Diwali celebration – Mowgli paneer ❤️

Now, I love paneer. It’s such an amazing comfort food. The paneer whatever dish you are cooking absorbs the flavours like a sponge. Also paneer offers a great cost effective dish as a single pack from the supermarket usually costs around or below the £2 mark and feeds two people comfortably. So to celebrate Diwali…

Homemade onion bhajis ❤️

Ingredients-3 whole onions – roughly chopped2 tbs of fine tablespoon salt2 large tbsp of garlic & ginger paste2 green chillies finely dicedA large handful of fresh coriander finely diced2 tbsp of rapeseed oil2 tbsp of panchporan ( photo enclosed…

Punjabi mushroom & peas ❤️

I love cooking dishes which gravitate ingredients we usually overlook. Like the beetroot curry this dish makes our beloved mushroom the star of the show. Another bonus for me is the cost of this dish. Being able to take relatively ‘cheap’ ingredients to cook a very wholesome beautiful dish which for me is more rewarding….

Homemade ‘tandoori’ marinade ❤️

I’ve been making this marinade for a few years now. Once you make the switch to making your own you will not go back to ‘shop bought’ versions. This takes less than 5 minutes to with a few hours doing its magic in the fridge ahead of roasting. I’ve been making this that long now…

Beetroot curry – yup you read that correctly !!! 👍🏻

This dish has fascinated me for many years. A popular dish in India and Sri Lanka. It’s fascinated me due to the fact you are taking a very humble ingredient ‘the beetroot’ to be the star of the show! Many many versions of this dish have the beetroot cooked in coconut milk to have a…
