CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

So, here you have it… one of the most popular Indian dishes in the world.  It is so famous that it has been declared one of the UK’s national dishes!  I did some digging and from what I have gathered, it is more of a restaurant-born dish than a traditional Indian dish (unlike its close…

Chicken Tikka

MURGH TIKKA – CHICKEN TIKKA

A little while ago I shared with you the recipe of one of my favourite Indian appetisers: Seekh Kebab and today is the turn of another one of my favourite meat dishes.  Murgh tikka, or chicken tikka is a very common dish at Indian restaurants around the world and it can be served both as an…

Naan

NAAN

I don’t think there is anything as hearty and delicious as home-made bread.  Any kind of bread.  The smell itself is soothing… My girls LOVE eating bread, so I try and make it at home as much as possible.  Whenever I cook an Indian meal, I make naan, either with garlic or, like in the…

Masala dosa

MASALA DOSA

The first time I ate a masala dosa I was still quite new to Indian food.  I think it was the second Indian dish I had ever had (the first being tandoori chicken) and I loved it so much that it quickly became one of my favourite take-away dishes.  More than 10 years have passed…

Dosa and Coconut Chutney

DOSA AND COCONUT CHUTNEY

Over the next couple of days I am going to share with you some South Indian recipes.  Today I will show you how to make a “basic” dosa from scratch.  Dosas are very thin and crispy crêpes, made from a fermented batter of blended lentils and rice.  They are delicious and I can never get…

PAPRI CHAAT

So, here you have it!  Today I am sharing with you the recipe of our favourite Indian chaat: papri chaat.  As I wrote in my post on Sev, chaats are snacks served with chutneys (typically Hari chutney and Tamarind chutney) and spices.  It is a very common street food that is sold from carts all…

Seekh Kebab

SEEKH KEBAB

Today I want to share with you the recipe for one of my favourite Indian/Pakistani dishes: seekh kebab.  Whenever we eat out, we never fail to order some as an appetiser.  They are made of minced lamb with spices and are cooked on skewers, traditionally in a tandoor oven.  They are usually served with hari…

Garlic Naan

GARLIC NAAN

Naan is my favourite Indian bread… and I always order garlic Naan when we eat out.  My girls love it too (they are both bread lovers) and as I have been baking much more bread since I started blogging, I had to try and make these at home.  I have to say that they came…

Hari Chutney

HARI CHUTNEY

I have a couple of Indian recipes coming up for you in the next few days. Today I want to start with a basic chutney, one that can be used in many dishes and chances are, if you have ever eaten at an Indian restaurant, you have eaten this with some tandoori dish. It is…

Rose Lassi

ROSE LASSI

Today is Mother’s Day!!!  I will be celebrating this special occasion with my family and we will have lunch at our favourite Indian restaurant, Abhi’s Indian Restaurant about which I wrote a review a few months ago.  One thing that we will surely have is lassi.  My girls LOVE mango lassi and that’s the thing they…

Gajar ka Halwa - Carrot Halwa

GAJAR KA HALWA – CARROT HALWA

Today I am going to share with you the recipe for a delicious Indian sweet: gajar ka halwa (or carrot halwa).  It is one of my husband’s favourite sweets and he has been raving about his grandmother’s carrot halwa since I can remember.  Unfortunately, he does not have his granny’s recipe, so I never made…

SAMOSAS

Samosas are one of my favourite Indian snacks.  You can find them all around the world and it would be hard to find someone who has never eaten one.  They are best eaten warm and crispy… I like them so much that I had to learn how to make them at home, as I believe…

TAMARIND CHUTNEY – IMLI KI CHUTNEY

This is a very easy recipe for a tasty tamarind chutney.  It’s sweet and sour thanks to the perfect combination of sugar & jaggery and tamarind.  The spice mix also gives it an intense flavour.  You can make it as mild or as spicy as you like.  I tend to make it mild so my…

Mango Lassi

MANGO LASSI

This is definitely not an Italian recipe!!  Lassi is a yogurt based Indian drink that can be savory or, like in this case, sweet.  I had never drunk lassi before meeting my husband; actually I have to admit that I knew very little about Indian food before.  He introduced me to many new ingredients and…
