A very tasty vegetarian curry that I thoroughly enjoyed! I used a traditional recipe but threw in a few things of my own near the end to enhance the taste so maybe not truly authentic! I started with a recipe from “Curry Nation” by Madhur Jaffrey. Ingredients Serves 4 1 large block of Paneer Cheese …

Samosa making is actually really easy and something I will be doing again soon! there are endless possibilities of what to stuff them with! This weekend it was peas and potatoes with the help of a few spices! I found these really tasty, not too spicy and with a nice subtle blend of spices. I …

Its not a pie.. its not a crumble.. it’s a “Crump” and its better than either of the alternatives in my opinion! and judging by the amount left in the fridge, in Mr F’s opinion too! Its an easy option for a dessert really doing a crumble/crump but I am trying to get my 3 year …

Ahead of Friday’s Indian Dinner party I have done a trial run of the Matar Paneer which is very nice and have made my own Chutney today, based on a BBC Food recipe. It’s much easier than I thought it would be really and worth the effort. You really do get to see just how …

I have been wanting to make this one for months now after I saw in in BBC Good Food magazine but never got round to it and always struggled to find the black beans! Then I found some in Morrisons. Gave it a go for tea tonight and it is going to become a staple …

I have just rustled this up for tea and it only took about 15 minutes! including making the curry paste! luckily I had all the ingredients in my spice cupboard. If you made a large batch of the curry paste and save it you could make it in 10 minutes easily. This comes from the …
