Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Fish shahjahani

    • JLDuck on October 17, 2022

      Gloriously delicious and gloriously easy. I pre-prepared everything up to where the fish went in which helped timewise. I used butterfish.

  • Mixed vegetable bhaji 1

    • JLDuck on October 17, 2022

      A delicious alternative for an Indian meal. I was ready with my water jug but it was not required. Highly recommended.

  • Cabbage and mint salad

    • JLDuck on December 31, 2022

      A refreshing and simple salad to make. In think it would easily go with any salad based meal.
