I’ll be honest, my Zesty Coconut chicken curry is my go-to recipe when I have more veggies in my fridge than I know what to do with; this coconut chicken curry is my way of treating simple and possibly slightly tired verbs, fresh spices and greens with the love and respect they deserve. Through this…

Oven-baked Vegan curried croquettes
India’s love affair with street food is no secret; pani puri, samosa, chaat, kachori, vada pav, gobi Manchurian, momos, tikki etc etc, the choices truly are endless. Also, the flavours and offerings vary greatly depending on the state, city or town in which you find yourself. One such delight is aalu chop or cutlet i.e…
Roasted cauliflower and sweet potato salad with onion dressing
This roasted cauliflower and sweet potato salad is and will probably always be one of my favourite veggie sides. Vegan, fresh, flavourful and filling, my roasted cauliflower and sweet potato salad is quite versatile and can be served with any protein, in wraps, over steamed or pilaf rice or just own its own. In fact,…
Pepper Chicken stir fried with Shallots and Bell peppers
Winner winner chicken dinner! With my Pepper Chicken with Shallots and Bell Peppers, a quick weeknight dinner feels like a treat with its heady aroma, contrasting textures and umami richness. Inspired by the very delicious pepper chicken fry that is an absolute favourite in the south of India, I have developed this recipe to suit…
Easy Chickpea Curry or Chana Masala
A bowl of Chana Masala makes me nostalgic; it takes me back to Durga Puja and Diwali season when the sound of devotional music and smell of fire crackers fill the crisp autumn air. Gifts abundant and studying rare, it is the time of the year eagerly awaited by kids and grownups alike. And, unsurprisingly,…
Home-style Mutton Curry
This slow cooked mutton curry is a Sunday favourite. Delicious and wonderfully flavourful, this mutton curry is deceptively easy to make; all it really requires are patience and time and it yields the most succulent mutton enrobed in wonderfully perfumed sauce elevating any ordinary weekend meal to something very special. Fit for celebrations and special…
Minced lamb and lentil stew

Cashew Chicken Bhuna
Mild and yet deliciously rich, Cashew Chicken Bhuna is my take on chicken Bhuna with the added indulgence of creamy cashew nut sauce. It pairs beautifully with rice, naan, Tandoori Rotis and chapatis and an oniony lemony fresh salad of cucumbers, tomatoes and chillis. Choose any low or no fat variety of Indian bread or…
Easy Paneer Butter Masala
Rich and yet, subtle, Paneer Butter Masala is a creamy, delicately flavoured and mildly sweet dish made with tomatoes, panner, cashews, cream and all of such lovely things that’ve been caramelised, simmered and blitzed into the smoothest sauce. I make mine with whole spices for an intensely flavoured curry but we could just as easily…

Pairing wonderfully with Indian breads, rice dishes and curries adding cool and yet, comforting freshness, my Green Raita can hold its own in a grand thaali complete with rich vegetarian and…
