chicken vindaloo – restaurant style

Chicken vindaloo is on every Indian restaurant menu because it’s seriously delicious. And you can make it just like restaurants do. At home.

It’s popular for a reason. It’s a perfect balance of hot and savoury. A little sour. With just a hint of sweet. Good eating for all curry lovers.

dal palak – indian spinach and lentil curry

Dal palak is a creamy lentil curry that adds spinach to make it something special. This is a great flavour combination you need to try.

If you like spinach. And you like lentils. Then you are going to love this dish. It makes a great side dish to any Indian meal. It’s healthy. Vegan. Low fat. High fibre. Gluten free. Inexpensive. All the check boxes ticked. And somehow still delicious.

chicken dhansak – bengali style

Chicken dhansak is a timeless Indian dish where the humble lentil is transformed into something wonderful. Overlay some big Bengali flavours and it might become a new classic.

Heresy? Maybe. But I like it. A lot. Because it’s just tasty. And it’s way easier than the original. That’s a dish meant for Sunday dinner. For special occasions. Serious business.
