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…

The simplicity of a beautiful parsley sauce ❤️
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 ❤️

Tandoori chicken Madras 🌶️🌶️
Thought I’d do a little update as I’ve not written for a while due to a number of distractions 😞. Just taking a moment to write this ok a Sunday morning with a cuppa in bed. When it comes to curries, I’m all about flavour over heat. I do like to enjoy the flavours that…

Thai inspired chicken & cashew nuts ❤️
As I’m sat in a car park whilst my son is at scouts I just thought I’d catch up with a dish I made a week or so ago. I wanted to cook something which needed nothing buying as I had all the ingredients within the house. I stumbled over this recipe whilst flicking through…
