This Roti Fita recipe has been on my to do list for aaaages and was highly requested, so I’m really pleased to finally be sharing it with you all. Roti Fita are flatbreads made from rice flour and are very popular amongst Bengalis. They are often made for special occasions such as Eid Al Fitr […]
I’ve sat down to share some easy recipes for the most special month of the year – Ramadan. There are lots of dishes we only make and eat during this blessed month and many people, like myself, are always looking for ways to add flavour to our food. This Coriander Chutney is amazing and will […]
Rainy days. Hot milky tea. Crispy Vegetable Pakoras with coriander chutney. Things foodie dreams are made of. If there’s one thing that I love dunking in sauce it has to be these Vegetable Pakoras. They’re absolutely moreish and whenever I make a batch they disappear hot off the plate, especially when served with my Coriander […]

Bhat Biran, translated as Fried Rice in English, is a comfort food and staple in every Bangladeshi household. Growing up it was the one dish that could easily be thrown together for breakfast or teatime, because being Bengali meant there was always a never ending supply of cooked rice at home! My mum used to […]
There are few things as pleasing as a homemade samosa, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t like a samosa and it would be unheard of to dislike a homemade one at that! I love homemade samosas but find it difficult to make them regularly, let’s face it they do take a lot […]
