I love her recipes, they are so simple to make and so kitchen friendly and there are never any complicated kitchen equipment being used. I hope to one day … Continue reading Orange chicken
Onion and coriander raita
Every meal always has to have a side salad, that is just the way of the world. Whenever we eat English food, I make sure that there is a green salad on the side, but this becomes tricky when you eat Indian food. I mean you can’t exactly eat a greek salad with chicken curry, … Continue reading Onion and coriander raita
Spicy squid curry with coconut
I love squid, especially when it is deep fried and served with fish and chips. I tried making squid once, many many moons ago and well I left it on a low heat while I made a phone call and when I came back it was as hard as the rubber on the tyres of … Continue reading Spicy squid curry with coconut

Eggless hamburger buns
I have grown up eating hamburger rolls every other day. It is the side effect of having a parent that works with bread, thank goodness I am not on a gluten, carb free, bread free diet, that would have been disastrous.

When it sits in the strainer, just waiting to be put into the serving … Continue reading Soothing yellow rice
Tamarind date chutney
I have heard of this chutney so many times, but I have never really been interested in making it, let alone trying it out.

Vegan french toast
I was never a big fan of French toast, there always seemed to be an eggy left over flavour in my mouth and also I never seem to know what to eat it with. Maple syrup or scrambled eggs, it always confuses me. I came across this recipe for vegan French toast, a while back. … Continue reading Vegan french toast
Pomegrante and mint raita
I love raita, especially with a nice strong curry. In our household we always and I mean always have a yoghurt based side dish to go with our curries. My mum says its healthy and also prevents heart burn and the side effects of a hot curry as it makes its way around the tummy. … Continue reading Pomegrante and mint raita
