This is a simple and quick recipe for a beautiful starter or side dish. I was cooking two very different chicken curry dishes for an evening in with friends. I thought that ‘chicken pakoras’ would just be too much chicken to indulge on so I came up with this alternative – Broccoli pakoras….and wow!!!! Simple…

Beef Curry Hotpot – A New Years Eve’s delight !
This was an absolute delight to make and the flavours made it even better which made this the perfect dish for New Year’s Eve. This dish was taken from the last book from The Hairy Bikers which was in the process of being written as Dave Myers sadly passed away. Having received the book as…
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…
Outstanding fish pie from the king of the sea !!!
We all comfort food! For me a fish pie, shepherds pie, cottage pie and homemade lasagna fall into this category. Also, they bring fond food memories back of my childhood and my mums cooking. Over the years I’ve made many different versions of fish pies but for me this was the best. So many layers…
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…
Bicol Express – Filipino curry !
This dish was stunning! Another dish I’d cooked for National Curry Week. Only slight downside was the shrimp paste I used. The shrimp paste was brought back from Singapore by a friend who was working out there with JLR. It was stronger than anything I’d previously used and the smell hung around for days…..lesson learnt!!…
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….
Outstanding cauliflower cheese
This was my first attempt at cauliflower cheese as I continue to develop my cooking knowledge and improve on basic skills. It was the perfect addition to which was already a wonderful Sunday roast. I’ve always loved making a basic white sauce then expanding it to multiple dishes. This one though went a little further….
