Lamb Achari Curry
I used to make this curry with chicken and it was lovely but I really like the extra rich taste that you get from lamb so gave it a go – I sometimes add a bit of lamb mince too for a thicker and more meaty curry! It is really simple if you have all …
Ginger Chicken Stir Fry
It’s January and I am trying to eat a bit better than I did for half of December, to lose a few pounds obviously but also to help keep me healthy as we need all the goodness we can get right now! This started out as a standard stir fry but actually tasted like something …
Five Spice Steak
[10-15 Mins] I have been making this for years after seeing it on a Jamie Oliver cooking show. It was supossed to be a boring tea night tonight.. meat, veg, spuds but I couldn’t do it to myself – I wanted flavour! PS – Have you noticed you dont need to scroll down through 5 …
Garlic and Chilli Crispy Chicken
This is a chicken take on a cauliflower dish I had at Lily’s restaurant recently called Gobi Manchurian. I thought it would be nice with crispy chicken too AND there is way too much cauliflower on the blog. It is quite simple to make the sauce as you are using things you probably have in …
Chicken Curry with Black Pepper
Another week another curry! I just can’t get enough. This is really simple and effective and uses things you probably already have in your cupboards so can be rustled up easily for a midweek meal. I used chicken thighs on the bone for this but you could use them without the bone if you …
Salt and Pepper Sweet Potato Wedges
Stuck at home with a poorly baby, just come back from a weekend away and Ocado is due at 7.30pm, there is NOTHING in the house apart from a few bits of veg and a bag of sweet potatoes… I considered making soup but soup is boring, I don’t feel like I’ve eaten if …
Lamb Keema Biryani
As mentioned in my last recipe I was going to use the same method to try and make a biryani. I did, and it was a great success! Easy to prepare in advance and then just stick in the oven for 30 minutes! This probably isnt very authentic as I have invented it myself but …
Kung Pao Chicken
It’s a miracle this meal happened considering the delicate state I was in yesterday after way too much wine at a wedding the day before but I wanted to have a chinese meal without all the takeaway calories so this was the only way! It is surprisingly quick and simple to make as long as …
Slow Cooked Beef Curry
You have probably noticed by now that I love curry, in fact anything with the 3 amigos!(chilli, garlic and ginger). That may be why I get so enraged when I go to chain pubs for food and see the same old crap served with chips everytime! Hunters chicken anyone?? NO THANKS. After a week away …
Szechuan Pork and Potatoes
I have had this potato dish before in Red Chilli in Manchester and found it really tasty so when it cropped up in a magazine recently I pulled it straight out and made sure I gave it a go. This is the result. There is no way I am calling it porky potatoes like …
