Afelia’s Lamb Kebabs are really simple to make, they don’t require a great deal of effort but taste brilliant! I always admired the way my mum used to make Lamb Kebabs using simple fresh ingredients, the results were lip-smackingly good. Shami kebabs were frequently present at our dining table growing up, my dad was a […]
I’m sure most of you are familiar with this dish, it’s one we all grew up with, the dish of choice when there was no time to cook anything fancy and you needed something on the dining table fast! ‘Biran’ literally means ‘fry/fried’ in Bengali and as this is a fried dish, it is an appropriate […]
Mexican food isn’t something that I have widely explored unless we’re talking avocados, guacamole and salsa! Here in the UK I’ve definitely noticed a bigger trend to make Mexican food readily available but it’s still a relatively small market. The few times I have eaten at a Mexican restaurant, the experience for me personally has not […]
Some of my Instagram followers (follow me if you aren’t already) wanted the recipe to the Spicy Prawn & Tomato Sauté curry I cooked yesterday, so here it is! Often the type of pot/pan we choose to cook a dish in determines what the finished texture will be like. While I do cook prawns as a […]
Ok, so everyone loves a Doner Kebab but what do you do when you can’t be bothered going to the takeaway? You make it at home of course! This recipe is my younger sister’s ingenious idea, I’ve adapted it slightly, so all credit goes to her. The first time I tasted this Cheat Doner Kebab […]
These fritters have to be without a doubt one of the most consumed snacks during Ramadan in the vast majority of Bangladeshi households, they’re called fiyazi/fiyaza in Bengali. My family can munch on these moreish Dali Bora (Lentil Fritters) bites on any occasion and being my eldest brother’s favourite snack, I often prepare this along with […]
Being Bengali, fish is a large part of my diet; it’s a healthy protein which is really good for you so it’s always a good idea to try and increase the amount one eats. One of my most favourite fish to cook is Rupchanda which is known as Pomfret in English. This fish has featured […]
I can’t think of anything better to munch on than a samosa when it comes to snacking! The actual process of making Samosas, especially ones where the pastry is made from scratch, can be laborious and cumbersome which often means people end up buying them instead of opting for homemade…..but that needn’t be the case! […]
Classic Lamb and Potato Curry is a combination which is a staple in my household and I guess in most Bangladeshi households. There is something about lamb and potatoes that never tires, it’s a match made in food heaven and no matter how often you eat it, it always tastes amazing. When I am cooking […]
A sweet curry? Yes, don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. Have you ever tried cooking sweet potato as a curry before? I hear many of you say ‘no’, well that’s good as I want to teach you all how to cook with this. My mum has always been my biggest inspiration when it comes […]
