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.

Getting kids to eat chicken and meat is simple; my kids adore fish too and will happily eat the fish based dishes I cook. However, when it comes to foods that are based on vegetables or pulses it can be difficult to make it appealing to hard to please palates, this was my experiment in […]
The first time I tasted Chicken Pakoras was about ten years ago, my sister had been visiting family outside of London and there was a local restaurant that had this dish on their menu. Of course when she returned home she had to bring back a batch for us to taste. It was awesome because […]
