Recipe: Green Masala Chickpea Soup

Apologies for the lack of photos lately, but I’m in the middle of a move. In fact, this post may be the last post for a couple of weeks due to not having an Internet connection – I’ll have to see how it all goes, but wish me luck!
This recipe came about after wanting [...]

Recipe: Creamy Red Pepper & Chilli Soup

Firstly, just so everyone is aware there is absolutely no use of CREAM in this dish! However, it tastes creamy and you will be asked whether there is actually cream been placed in the soup – I certainly did.
This delightful soup has all the makings of a indulgent meal without the calories! The [...]

Recipe: Home-made Naans

This is not a true naan dish.  I do not own a tandoor dish, where naans are deliciously made next to tandoori chicken.  Unfortunately I don’t own one and I don’t think I ever will.  BUT, these naans are for those, like me, that don’t have a tandoori oven handy.  They taste like the next [...]

Recipe: Coconut Cream Pikelets

Apologies for the not-so-great photo, it’s taken with my iphone!  This recipe was thrown together after wanting to make some quick coconut roti-type pikelets to have with my curry and I have to say these are a great little treat!  They are a little softer than your normal pancake mixture and absolutely-must be dried through [...]

Recipe: Cornflour Crusted Wedges

Wanting to come up with some crunchy fries similar to beer batter ones, I turned the corner and made some healthier wedges!  These little babies are microwaved to soften before placed in some seasoned cornflour and shallowed fried or grilled!  Just near the end I added some onion and garlic for some extra flavour and [...]

Recipe: Baked Savoury Crumpet Cake

Served with Tomato Ketchup – apologies for the small photo, it was taken with my iphone and isn’t good quality larger!
I got the idea for this after looking at the Good Food UK site, where they made some out of using a pancake mixture.  This made me think about using my grandmother’s crumpet mixture [...]

Recipe: Porcini Polenta

(Image: Picatta served with Porcini Polenta)
I absolutely love polenta!  I love it in the morning with some honey and milk, love it hardened into fries and just love the mashy version you can serve savoury!  This version of polenta is no exception!  The porcini mushrooms, give a beautiful flavour to the polenta and combined with [...]

Recipe: Faux “Chicken” Piccata

(Image: Picatta served with Porcini Polenta)
After watching my mother eat her way through a real Chicken Piccata and liking everything apart from the fact it was meat, I decided to come up with an alternative.  Piccata is generally made with real chicken that is basted in a sauce of capers, butter and white wine.  Whilst [...]

Recipe: Tamarind Paneer

This lovely recipe is a take on the Chilli Paneer made with cornflour.  Whilst bitter in flavour, it also is sweet, salty and hot, making your taste buds unsure of what it will hit it next.
Combining some sweet peppers and onions, this dish goes great with some fried rice or just the plain old steam [...]
