Apple and Date Crumble

As a child I used to hate desserts with fruits in them; apple crumble, rhubarb crumble and any sort of baked goods with raisins in them, I absolutely loathed them! I just couldn’t bring myself to eat the fruit even though I wanted to at times – my older sister loves fruit desserts and watching […]

Crispy Tandoori Fish Bites

I had some leftover Tilapia (from cooking a curry for my mother in law) that I wanted to use up, so threw these Crispy Tandoori Fish Bites together on the spot, the result was delicious! The ingredients make enough batter for 2 Tilapia fillets, you can multiply the quantities if you want to make more. […]

A rice based dish which is similar in consistency to porridge that graces most dinner tables during the holy month of Ramadan. Being soft in consistency means it’s good for […]

Sweet Ghee Chicken Niblets

I hate waste and try not to throw away things I can put to use, these Sweet Ghee Chicken Niblets were the result of some red pickled jalapeños I had sitting at home that weren’t being eaten because they didn’t taste as nice as the green jalapeños I normally buy. I threw together this concoction […]

Chilli Paneer

One of my favourite things to eat is Chilli Paneer! Paneer is an Indian cheese made from curdling milk, the solids are squeezed to remove all liquid and subsequently used in cooking. For many Indians who are strict vegetarians, paneer forms an essential part of their diet being a good source of protein. On its own […]
