Notes about Recipes in this book

• Lazy potato curry

  • CourtneyT on February 16, 2024

    Quite a straightforward, easy make. My husband gave it two thumbs up and went for a second helping.

• Gujarati turnips & greens

  • Clog on December 10, 2022

    Very straightforward and tasty way to cook turnips. We find it a great side dish alongside a main curry.

• Punjabi padron peppers

  • ian_ts0yqf on May 12, 2026

    Would have worked better with just salt

• Cumin green beans

  • etcjm on June 10, 2024

    For the work involved, this is an excellent side dish. Enjoyed by all. Would be great with a bbq.

  • CourtneyT on May 16, 2025

    Really easy and tasty. Next time I will cut back on the salt though.

• Samosa tart

  • etcjm on December 26, 2022

    Really good. Subbed for Gluten free pastry and used butternut squash instead of potato. Would be lovely as leftover lunch and will definitley be cooked again. Would be great for picnics.

• Gunpowder florets

  • etcjm on June 10, 2024

    Very moreish. Keep the bits small otherwise they just won't cook. I only used Cauliflower. I think you do need the extras of top, but these were being eaten by everyone as I was tipping them into the bowl without the toppings so make your own decision... Bit messy and not easy to cook with company, but they were enjoyed by everyone.

• Cabbage curry

  • Clog on December 10, 2022

    A subtle mix of flavours. The heat complements the flavours rather than dominates them.

• Spinach raita

  • erin3107 on July 18, 2023

    mine was disgustingly salty and I added the exact amount she says in the recipe

  • etcjm on February 26, 2026

    I used frozen spinach - cooked and cooled. Very good, but as the other note says, go easy on the salt. I tend to find Nisha's recipe are always too heavy on the salt. Better to go steady than ruin it. You must do the garlic for the top - it's the best bit. Go slow and don't burn it, it really adds texture and good depth of flavour. Makes it more than than a bit of dip.

• Oyster mushroom bhuna

  • Jane on May 13, 2026

    So good. I had some large meaty oyster mushrooms I grew on a mushroom log. This recipe was a great recipe for them as they really tenderized. Great flavor from the spices and aromatics.
