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 […]
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 […]
Sorry it’s been a little while since the last recipe post! Life sometimes gets in the way and I’ve been trying to make the most of the limited summer we’ve had in the UK. This recipe was made for a couple of family members who enjoyed my garlic chilli chicken but wanted something a little […]
I wanted to try and develop a series that makes cooking restaurant style curries easy for everyone. Most takeaways will use base gravy to enable dishes to be cooked quicker but these gravies oven take A LOT of preparation and time. That’s why I’ve started this series, to try and navigate around using a base […]
Now this masala sauce is definitely worth making. Best of all, it can be done in under 30 minutes. You could add some chicken tikka to this and make a curry out of it or it can be served as a side for dipping. Either works just as well. You will need a blender for […]
The Chicken Pathia is a favourite in Britain Indian Restaurants and it’s slowly becoming one of my favourite dishes. It’s a great mix of sweet and spicy and is similar to a Masala. The beauty of this dish is that it doesn’t need a base gravy to thin the curry out – you can just […]
Who doesn’t love chicken tikka? For me, it’s the holy grail. It goes with absolutely everything. I use this recipe and spice blend for when I am pre-cooking tikka, ready to be added into a curry. This chicken tikka recipe will leave you with a restaurant quality dish without all the faff. I’ve developed this […]
