Is a curry without a Naan Bread even a curry to us in the west, be it a plain naan, garlic and coriander, keema or Peshwari, though to me Peshwari is like eating cake with savoury and not my thing. Fluffy warm bread to dip in your sauce and mop up the gravy, yes IContinue reading “Naan Bread”

Aloo Gobi
Yes I occasionally cook vegetarian food and it is often Indian, this Aloo Gobi being one of my favourites. Cauliflower (gobi) is so versatile and takes on spice and flavour really well. My choice of potatoes (aloo) is a baby new potato diced up roughly or a good waxy potato such as charlotte or anyasContinue reading “Aloo Gobi”
Pork chop with Sauerkraut
I had a pork chop with mash earlier in the week and had another chop in the fridge, a look in the fridge and an excess of sauerkraut, so an easy choice pork chop with sauerkraut. A dish is common in the south of Germany where they consume a lot of pork and sauerkraut. IContinue reading “Pork chop with Sauerkraut”
The best burger bun
The argument over the best burger bun could go on forever, we see brioche everywhere these days though I find many far too sweet and better suited to a bread and butter pudding than a burger bun, we have the sesame seed buns, the bog-standard store-bought white buns that turn to mush and fall apartContinue reading “The best burger bun”

Thai Red Curry
All my life I have been a lover of curry mainly I admit Indian and the odd Chinese. I have made my own curries from scratch for many years but have never made Thai red curry. Come that Thai food in general. Growing up there was an abundance of Indian and Chinese restaurants where IContinue reading “Thai Red Curry”
Leftover Lamb Hotpot
More leftovers, this time leftover lamb hotpot. I have never been one to waste food and at the moment in dire times, we find ourselves it is good to use the leftovers up. In future posts, I will be doing more with leftovers and trying to ring the changes from the norm. I served thisContinue reading “Leftover Lamb Hotpot”
Leftover Lamb Madras
I could possibly live on curry in one form or another, one of my favourites is my leftover lamb madras. You can, of course, use any meat you have from chicken to pork and even fish. So many curries we have bare no resemblance to authentic Indian cooking at all, where possible I like toContinue reading “Leftover Lamb Madras”
