It’s my aim for 2024 to focus in on basic cooking skills. Whilst I’d say I’m competent making Indian based dishes I need to improve or take my home cooking to another level. Last night I put this dish together off the top of my head due to ingredients we had left over from Christmas….

Fried whitebait, the Sri Lankan way and my homemade chilli jam ❤️
The beautiful thing about finishing work early for the Christmas break is that I find myself having extra time in the kitchen. I’ve always wanted to try a ‘spicier’ version of the traditional whitebait you have here in the UK. This dish didn’t disappoint. The recipe was taken from Madhur jaffrey’s ‘Curry Easy’ cookbook. I…
Classic lemon tart !
This for me is stepping outside of my comfort zone. Think I wanted to prove I could do it whilst having an unwinding Sunday. Simplicity is the key with only using 5 ingredients but as I found out a few stages that I found a little tricky, The proof as they say is in the…
Goan Beef Kofta Curry – absolute delight of a dish ❤️
I loved cooking this dish, I actually think, this is my best dish to date. The taste and flavours were unreal with many different layers of flavour which just keep coming with each mouthful. It’s such a simple dish to make which makes it even better. What can be better…..a curry that you can make…
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…
Mango chicken curry ❤️
What an absolutely stunning dish. Amazing combination of spice and sweetness. So much flavour literally from the first mouthful. Such a quick dish to make. By the time the rice had boiled and put aside to steam itself the mango chicken curry was finished. Ingredients- 2/3 tbsp of rapeseed oil, 2 tbsp of heaped garlic…
Keralan Black Treacle Salmon ❤️
This…..is one of the best Indian inspired dishes I’ve ever made!!! This takes home cooking to another level. The flavours within the dish were insane…yet so simple. Again over the past few days I’ve used two different methods of cooking the fish within one dish, both of which I’ve done before but I wouldn’t have…
Tama ra bungur ko masu ❤️ – Nepalese for pork & bamboo shoot curry
Just love the food from Nepal. We have a superb local Nepalese restaurant local to us and the food there is another level. We only visit it on special occasions due to the cost but the food is superb! For my birthday I asked for a cook book containing the food of Nepal so here…
Goan fish curry ❤️
After a recent visit to Mowgli I was blown away with the flavours of this dish. I’ve had a number of Goan fish curries from a number of restaurants but nothing as tasty as this!! Goan curries usually have a hot and tangy heat running through them however this was tangy and sweet….and I now…
The classic Mowgli prawn curry
What a joy of dish this was to make !! A simple dish which took less than 20 minutes to make with very little preparation. A ‘sweet’ tasting dish due to the perfect marriage of ingredients. I’ve mentioned it before, the more Indian / Asian cooking you do the more you build up your larder…
