cook in a curry

It’s been a while and no before you ask I haven’t been on a sabbatical or a break of any sort. In fact I’ve been doing loads more cooking, filming and pop ups amongst other food related projects which have made it busier than ever. The thing is though what I miss the most is... more

An authentic Bengali meat dish and one of my favourites. In India it is cooked with mutton though I have swapped lamb for it; marinated in a yoghurt mix, tossed in spices and cooked until the meat is moist & tender. A note to remember is that there is no additional water added to this... more

Eating Rogan Josh as a 9yr old in a typical Kashmiri household with Indian bread on the side to scoop out the thick gravy has been one of my fondest food memories. The host for the meal (Mr Mamoon was the manager of the hotel we stayed at) invited my parent over to sample a... more
