Having received the Dishoom book for Christmas 2021 I was hooked. I’d seen Dishoom in India on tv and I was fascinated by the food and the theatre of the restaurant. I have been fortunate to eat at the Birmingham restaurant once but for me it’s a place I can only visit rarely due to…

Chicken Pathia – brilliant food memory ❤️
This my friends way back when I was 19 (1997) was my first experience of Indian food. Having been out on the road all day repping I was starving. Having not left my torn my ACL for the first time I was conscious of eating too much during the day and being sat in a…
Kashmiri paneer & mushrooms – a delightful dish
This is a delightful dish that the taste buds thank you for!! More importantly, a simple and quick dish if your challenged with time. A dish that can be made and left unsupervised which enables you to carry on with other jobs, or like me, enjoy a wine !! The original recipe was taken from…

Once you’ve made the Thai yellow curry paste in my previous post then this recipe is a doddle!! The flavour balance is really interesting. This dish does have an Indian influence running through it which is really nice. Highly recommend it, especially if you have made the paste as it’s so rewarding. Again, this recipe…

Creamy Black Dhal 👌
This recipe was taken from Dishoom. I first discovered Dishoom when Rick Stein visited the original restaurant on his tv series – Rick Steins India. I have to be honest I didn’t really pay them much attention. Last year for my birthday I was gifted the Dishoom cook book. It’s not like any cook book…
