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…
🌶️Chicken Vindaloo…..potential stinger🌶️
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…
