Lighter Chicken Tikka Gyros

I’ve probably offended a few Greek people just from the title of this one alone but I regret absolutely nothing. This was truly wonderful. It is very similar to the ‘naan’ kebab I created a couple of weeks back but I think the choice of bread and dressing really does edge this recipe for me. […]

Lighter Chicken Tikka Naan Pizza

Now this one will blow your tastebuds to pieces. Even I was surprised at how well this one has turned. I think that I find that ‘lighter’ recipes sometimes do lack just that little something but it was not the case with this naan pizza. I do believe the official term for this is a […]

Lighter Chicken Tikka Biriyani Recipe

Now admittedly, I am not overly fussed about rice dishes but I knew I had to try and create something that was meal prep material. The rice in the biriyani is arguably more important than the curry base so it’s paramount that you follow the steps and get it right – if you trust me […]

Colourful Pilau Rice Recipe

I’ve done that many cook at home curry recipes that I thought it would be a good idea to craft a rice recipe for you all, to accompany your main dishes. The recipe is simple and easy to follow and thankfully doesn’t contain a whole load of ingredients. This rice dish is very similar to […]

Tandoori Lamb Chops Recipe

tandoori lamb chops

Tandoori Lamb Chops – an absolute stalwart of the mixed grill game. Unfortunately, the ever increasing price of lamb has meant that tandoori lamb chops are appearing less frequently on grills which is a real shame. I love a good tandoori lamb chop and with the above in mind, it drove me to develop a […]

Chicken Tikka Dopiaza Recipe

Dopiaza curry

Did you know, dopiaza roughly translates to double onion? Not that it matters in this instance as I’ve actually used three different variations of onion in this recipe! This feels and tastes like a traditional hearty curry, with a real depth of flavours – without being overly spicy or sweet. I whipped this up without […]
