In the ever-evolving world of British takeaway culture, one culinary trend has emerged victorious: the munchie box. Originating from the bustling streets of Glasgow, this veritable feast-in-a-box has quickly captivated the hearts and stomaches of the UK. Munchie boxes typically started from Chinese takeaways in Scotland and it is now very common for them to […]
The karahi bowl, also known as a “kadai,” is a deep, circular, and thick-walled cooking pot that traces its origins to the Indian subcontinent. This versatile utensil, traditionally made from cast iron, is akin to the Balti bowl – in more ways than one. Its design is perfect for high-heat, stir-fry cooking methods, which are […]
The Chasni – a beloved dish in British Indian cuisine, boasts a rich history intertwined with the cultural exchange between India and the United Kingdom. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, the term “Chasni” translates to “sugary syrup” in Hindi, a nod to the sweet and tangy flavour profile that characterises this curry. Historically, Chasni traces […]
If I told you a curry with lentils and pineapple in would taste amazing then you would be skeptical. I was, until I tried this Dhansak.
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Now I know some of you may not appreciate a ‘lighter’ or ‘healthier’ recipe because what I may deem as healthier, you may deem as unhealthier. I’ve put a fair amount of weight on in 2023 (haven’t we all though) so I am using the month of January to try and craft some less calorie […]
The Balti. Birmingham’s finest and one of the most notable curries to have been ‘created’ in the UK. Many folk don’t know that ‘Balti’ is the method to how the curry is cooked – not the actual curry! The beauty of it is that you can have pretty much ANY curry ‘balti style’. It simply […]
Chicken Korma. Yes, I know. Most dub it as a pathetic dish but I actually quite like it. It reminds me of my childhood and was the first curry I had that made me really fall in love with this cuisine – back when my tastebuds couldn’t handle anything spicy. For me, it almost has […]
