Who doesn’t love a grilled cheese sandwich? Oozy, warm and oh so naughty. This sandwich is inspired by my trip to Mumbai, where I tasted the best cheese sandwich ever. It was spicy and indulgent and seeing as I won’t be going back any time soon, I decided to give it a go myself. This…

Tandoori Chicken Salad with Braised Lettuce
Sounds posh right? It really isn’t. I love a good salad but I tend to get bored very easily. Also when the weather is cold, I can’t seem to face a cold salad. I want something warm and comforting, but also healthy and exciting. This is my twist on a chicken salad. Spicy tandoori chicken…
Homemade Tandoori Chicken

Breakfast Parathas

Diwali…The Festival of Light
Its Diwali! The time of lights, food and family! Diwali is a great festival that is celebrated all over the world, wherever you might find Indians! Of course it is a lot more grand in India, but us British Asians give it a good go! I was born and raised in England so I consider…
Unusual ingredients…Okra?!
It may be unusual to you, but to me I grew up eating Okra. I actually went through a mad phase of demanding my Mum to cook it once a week for me (is that weird?). My brother however is not a fan! I like to discover new ingredients whenever I can, otherwise I would…
Chapatis!
Chapatis are a staple food in our Indian culture and is found regularly in our homes. They are so easy to make (after a bit of practice) and taste great with all different types of curries. Dipped in lentil daal or used to dive into a spicy fish or chicken curry, chapatis are delicious. I remember…
