Very nervous about cooking this dish. All the cooking I do is based around flavour rather than wanting to blow my head off with heat and lose the ability to enjoy the meal. When I see those ‘macho’ guys sitting in a restaurant trying to convince their friends and family they are enjoying the meal…

Lamb keema shimla mirch – simplified version ❤️
After recent times, kitchen time was needed. I’ve not felt like posting for a while as I’ve not done much cooking, however this little gem cooked last night sparked a little flame inside. I’ve cooked a more complexed version of this dish before but to try and light the flame again I made this simplified…
Chicken curry with cardamoms – heavenly ❤️
This is a wonderful, basic flavoursome dish for the whole family. Simple cooking methods, very few ingredients which makes the whole process easy from start to finish. As you would expect, taking the recipe from Madhur Jaffrey’s cookbook called ‘Curry Easy’ says it all. The recipe is stripped back and so easy to follow. Whilst…
Lamb bhuna ❤️ an alternative way of cooking this classic 👍
Love making this dish. This method again is different to your usual restaurant/ takeaway version as it consists of no base sauce, you make your own sauce ! Again, it’s a simple recipe to follow and can be cooked in the same time it usually takes your local takeaway have it ready. Ingredients- 4 tbsp…
Chicken pasanda – a curry cooked with red wine…..
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…
Yes…can you believe it…. I’ve cooked a Korma !!
Yes I’m as shocked as the next person! I’ve never cooked, tried or even thought about cooking a korma from scratch before. Other than children and Stacey from Gavin and Stacey….who orders or eats a Korma ??? However, this was just one of those weeks which I felt I wanted to challenge myself even more…
A beautiful lamb rogan josh ❤️
This my curry lovers is a beautiful dish. A completely different way to cooking your British restaurant/ takeaway favourite. Your restaurant/ takeaway classic flavours are built up and use a base sauce, this dish has two steps using the same pan and the flavours come from a wonderful mix of spices and reusing the stock…
‘House black dhal’ a favourite of mine ❤️
I love cooking dhal’s. You can pack a lot of flavour into a humble lentil. Restaurants like Dishoom & Mowgli do brilliant versions. Both require slow cooking methods which for me is great as you can start the process then go off and do other things around the house. The version on this blog has…
Bombay Aloo 👌
I cooked this dish part of a multi dish evening with friends. If I’m honest it was meant to be a side dish but it actually ended up being the star of the show. Not only did it feed 4 adults it fed another friend who took some home the following day. Ingredients- 4 tbsp…
Indo-Chinese sweet & sour chicken 👌
I love this dish. Proper bowl of comfort food. Who doesn’t love sticky chicken ? Especially when combining Indian & Chinese flavours. One of the other great things about this dish is the cost !! A cheap and cheerful dish, ideal for entertaining friends. Ingredients- 1 kilo of chicken wings, garlic salt, rapeseed oil, cornflour…
