By Dan Toombs on Wednesday, May 15th, 2013 | No Comments

I’m usually quite good and identifying flavours but with this mint, coriander & Mango Chutney I was stumped. Hasan from Hasan’s Restaurant in Leeds served it to me with a selection of tandoori dishes. I got the coriander and mint right but what was that other familiar ingredient? The chutney was quite thick so I [...]

This is British Indian restaurant (BIR) cooking at its best! I’ve been busy lately visiting some of my favourite Indian restaurants and learning their most popular recipes. Recently I was invited to Hasan’s in Leeds. Hasan, the owner and head chef taught me this lamb kofta recipe. It’s absolutely fantastic! A couple of days ago, [...]

This quick prawn balti could also be made with cooked prawns This is a fresh tasting curry that I really love.

Marinated Roast Leg Of Goat

More people need to try roast leg of goat. It’s fantastic! I’ve said in before and I’ll say it again… we don’t cook enough with goat in this country. One of the reasons for this is that we’ve become too accustomed to eating the meat that the supermarkets want us to eat: the meat that [...]

I love pakoras and these pea pakoras are very unique and also very tasty. Pea pakoras are quickly becoming a favourite veggie dish around my house. Unfortunately, veggie or not, they’re not very good for you. Eaten in moderation, however they are a real treat. My kids like to eat them with Heinz ketchup of [...]

I’d perhaps rather foolishly decided to ride my bike out to our local farmshop. The round trip journey was 14 miles and [...]
