Now, I love paneer. It’s such an amazing comfort food. The paneer whatever dish you are cooking absorbs the flavours like a sponge. Also paneer offers a great cost effective dish as a single pack from the supermarket usually costs around or below the £2 mark and feeds two people comfortably. So to celebrate Diwali…

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…
Goan fish curry – delicious ❤️
Having been previously been a pescatarian fish for me is my preferred food to eat. Also my food hero being Rick Stein I’m naturally swung towards fish. I’ve cooked several versions of this dish previously, one being from Rick’s book – India. This recipe was taken from a local author and her new & 1st…
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…
Paneer curry ❤️
Love paneer, love flavoursome curries….love this dish. This simple yet stunning recipe taken from a lady called Suki Pantal who I’ve followed on Instagram for a while and this is from her first cook book – Garnish with Garam Masala. a regional dish from when she was living in Delhi. The only change I made…
Old fashioned Delhi style lamb bhuna ❤️
I haven’t posted for a while as I’ve had too many personal distractions. However, the cooking has helped. I’ve put a lot of focus into cooking authentic dishes whilst still cooking ‘westernised recipes’. The ‘authentic’ dishes have a completely different make up and method to the westernised dishes which I find more appealing. Westernised dishes…
