Mutter Paneer

This is a lovely Green Peas (Mutter) and Cottage Cheese (Paneer) dish and one of the dishes I regularly fall back on when entertaining friends who are vegetarian. It can be served with rice or chapatties and tastes fabulous and to be perfectly honest isn’t all that involved to make. Ingredients: 1 cup Green PeasContinue reading “Mutter Paneer”

Ingredients: 4 Burger Bun (toasted) 2 Tomato (thickly sliced) Thick Slices of Mozarella Cheese For the Pesto: Basil leaves (1Continue reading “Mozzarella and Tomato Sandwich”

Stir-fry Noodles with Coconut Cream Sauce

I first came across this recipe when my friend Bruce cooked it for us on our Lake District vacation. It is a very unique recipe as the coconut sauce elevates the flavours and to be honest, the ginger, garlic and Thai Red Curry paste in a coconut base are pure music. In Bruce’s own wordsContinue reading “Stir-fry Noodles with Coconut Cream Sauce”

Cumin and Cheddar Cheese Scones

They go very well with Tomato soup, just what you need on a cold winter’s day :). I made the ones in the first picture today, its a tried and testedContinue reading “Cumin and Cheddar Cheese Scones”

Spicy Scrambled Eggs (Bhurji)

This is a simple dish you can rustle up in 20 mins flat. Only three main ingredients needed and you will most definitely have them in your fridge/ pantry. I usually make this when I need to put together a meal in next to no time. It can be served with rice, bread, chapaties orContinue reading “Spicy Scrambled Eggs (Bhurji)”

Lamb Pasta

So we have our first guest post. This post is by Mr. Mack and he has made his signature lamb pasta. Once a week Mr. Mack cooks dinner (has promised to cook twice a week this year onwards) and when he wields the skillet I welcome the break from cooking and the results are spectacular!Continue reading “Lamb Pasta”

Fish Pie with a twist

I am a huge fan of fish pie and most times I will be ordering fish pie if it’s on the menu. I tried this variation a couple of years ago when my friend Kathy cooked it while we were on a trip to the Lake District. I have tried it several times since then,Continue reading “Fish Pie with a twist”

Simple Dal, Rice and Prawn and Okra Bhaji

Ingredients For Prawn and Okra Bhaji: 165 gms Prawn (I used M&S Honduran Prawn, the one you find in the stir-fry meal deal section) 140 gms Okra (TheContinue reading “Simple Dal, Rice and Prawn and Okra Bhaji”
