This curry ticks every box I need it to. It’s packed with vibrant and warming spices and both the aubergine and sweet potato act as sponge vessels that carry them, so every mouthful is as exciting as the next. If you like it with a little less heat, remove the seeds from the chilli but … Continue reading AUBERGINE & SWEET POTATO CURRY WITH COCONUT RAITA
My most turned-to curry. Without fail. Hands down. And then hands up to praise it. I kept fairly close to the traditional yogurt marinade and similar spicing profile to the Northern Indian curry Murgh Makhani with this recipe, but I went on my own tangent swapping the usual chicken for cauliflower and relying on a … Continue reading BUTTER & ALMOND CAULIFLOWER CURRY
A dal should be admired for its simplicity and adored for it’s potential, in my opinion.

Nothing like a bolognese in flavour or components but everything like it … Continue reading BEETROOT & COCONUT DAL WITH QUICK CUCUMBER PICKLES
So I’ve had this recipe nestled in my head for quite some time now. It’s one I have depended upon in my darkest hours. There is a cruel culinary juxtaposition that qualifies the majority of soul warming dishes to take the longest time to cook. So the times when you want to be on your … Continue reading QUICK SAAG ALOO
I am somewhat of a dragon when it comes to curry. I want fire in my mouth. I am the kind of freak who will order a curry in a restaurant and then ask for a small bowl of chillies on the side. I don’t fuck about with curries. However, having said that, every now … Continue reading THAI BUTTER CHICKEN CURRY
The other night I featured the cooking of this curry on my Instastory (you can follow me here) and a guy slid in my DM’s and asked me if I would make it for him. I said making it FOR him would defeat the object of me having a website full of simple, cost effective recipes. … Continue reading SQUASH & COURGETTE MADRAS
