Notes about Recipes in this book

• Kale and corn cakes

  • mmg0305 on January 13, 2020

    Not sure how the mixture should ‘come together’ when it’s all dry ingredients. Added some egg to bind.

• Mustard broccoli

  • Clog on August 17, 2023

    A superb taste. The accompanying Makhani sauce was a real winner too and required mopping up with some bread. However I failed to get to the broccoli stems to cook. Next time I may. just use the florets, or perhaps cut off the stems and parboil them for much longer.

• Punjabi chana masala

  • kkmatti on January 19, 2025

    This was good, but the onion flavor was pretty strong. If I made this again, I would good the onions first a much longer period of time. Added 2 serranos which made for a fairly spicy dish.

• Cilantro-spiced roast veg salad with walnuts

  • Clog on January 30, 2024

    I ended up using mago powder instead of dried mango, but it worked just as well. Tasted even better with coriander and courgette.

• Grilled eggplant with lamb keema and pine nut kachumber

  • VineTomato on December 22, 2018

    Delicious. The pine nut kachumber is so good!

• Ginger chicken wings

  • Foodycat on October 26, 2019

    These are AMAZING. So crunchy, so much flavour, such juicy chicken. I used 200g of rice flour instead of 300g, and could even have used 100g and still had a thick, even coating on each wing. I didn't do the fried ginger garnish.

• Lobster balchao

  • stepharama1 on July 07, 2022

    This was super delicious. Next time I may try making it with shrimp. For an Indian dish, it's pretty simple and streamlined with regard to the spices. It has a great flavor payoff for the amount of work. I didn't have malt vinegar so I substituted a mix of white and regular balsamic vinegars.

• Malvani sukka chicken

  • mmg0305 on January 13, 2020

    Nice but needed a bit more kick. Skin the drumsticks and add some fresh chili next time.

  • catmummery on October 20, 2023

    lovely spice mix and the sauce is almost a gravy. Rich and flavoursome. But agree with earlier point - neeeds more kick. I added chilli flakes and a touch of lemon juice at the end. I skinned my chicken thighs and used the baked crispy skins crumbled on top. I will be making again with a few tweaks as the spice balance is fantastic. minor point - the amount of water is too much to make the spice mix; judge while doing

• Organic tandoori chicken

  • greedyrosie on June 28, 2020

    This is my go-to tandoori chicken recipe. Very little effort.

  • stepharama1 on December 21, 2022

    Excellent flavor! Recipe appears to omit salt so I added a 1 tsp. plus to the marinade. Will make again. Served with the Bhurani raita (from the same book) as recommended and it was a great pairing.

• Maa's Kashmiri lamb chops

  • Kduncan on February 28, 2019

    The flavors are really good. Even though I had to substitute mint jelly for the mint chutney, as the stores around me were either out or did not have mint chutney, the dip came up really great. I undercooked my chops at about 1/2 way through the cooking time, but that is how I like them, hence that might be off.

  • joneshayley on August 15, 2021

    Very very good! Fragrant and flavourful but not overpowering. The lamb shines. The chutney is a perfect accompaniment

• Malabar shrimp pulao

  • Kduncan on February 28, 2019

    This shirmp stock is really great. Overall it took longer to reduce the liquid then the recipe said, even with 1.5Xs the time ours ended up soupier then the picture (and we left it mostly uncovered). The recipe is mostly time consuming, but not hard, hence a good weekend meal.
