Every year when my mother springs the house from top to bottom she makes me clean out and use all the meat in the freezer before our annual prayers. This year was the same, she gave me a months’ notice to get my butt into gear and start using every last piece of meat in … Continue reading Prawn ahkni
Jaipur slaw
I have been watching My Kitchen rules Australia recently. On the show, most of the mains served are always accompanied by a side, be it a salad or a sauce as Manu would say, it isn’t a main unless there is a sauce or in my case a salad. I love slaw, I love the … Continue reading Jaipur slaw

There are times in my life where I wish that I could eat street food from Indian, it just seems so exciting but with my luck I will most likely suffer from Delhi-belly.
