In the usual manic run up to a holiday, I didn´t get around to telling you that I´m in Peru for three weeks visiting my in-laws.
We arrived in Lima on 27th January and I kicked off our break tucking into a giganormous plate of barbequed cow´s hearts. There goes my award for Hindu of the year.
We are off to Huancayo [...]

I found a lovely recipe for Pepper Chicken Curry on the blogosphere the other day - a lovely twist on a classic Indian chicken curry.
My hubby’s aunt and uncle were coming over for dinner so I decided to cook it for them. While the ingredients were really ordinary, I realised on my way home from [...]

I’ve been rubbish with my posts lately. The kitchen has been churning out some lovely Indian recipes, but writing them up has proved to be tricky. Big night on Thursday, bigger night on Saturday with barely enough time to recover in between.
Now to get back to matters of great importance - quick Indian cooking. Did [...]

The Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has been unfortunate enough to become a victim of bullying and accused racism in one of the UK’s most vapid reality TV shows - Celebrity Big Brother. Read all about it here.
This has blown up into one of the most criticised TV programmes over here in recent times, with [...]

I have to confess, I am crap at blog events. I can’t plan early enough to take part in jihvas, blogging weekends, baking challenges and even memes have been a struggle.
You see, I have an infite number of brain cells. Many I destroy regularly with reckless consumption of alcohol. The others I use to keep my boss, colleagues and [...]

I am about to have a birthday soon. Normally, I would invite everyone I know, plan my own surprise party and buy a whole new outfit.
But this year, it’s different.
I am edging closer to 30 by turning 29 and as far as I’m concerned, it ain’t no cause for celebration.
While I’m going all coy on [...]

Much as I’d love to pretend that I effortlessly churn out recipe after recipe in my cool-as-ice monochrome kitchen, the truth is somewhat different.
Every now and again, my patience is severely tested with recipes that won’t, for the love of food or money, work! Rajmah was one of them.
I had to make it three times [...]

With the meme completed, I have turned my attention to more important things. Like keeping my New Years’ resolution.
As promised, I have started trawling the blogosphere for easy Indian recipes to try out and then write about.
My first port of call was Asha, who writes about food and life. She has been married for more [...]

I’ve been tagged. I did get very worried when I read this. Tagged? What exactly does this mean? Am I going to be followed, persecuted or simply watched closely on the blogosphere (this didn’t sound too awful).
I looked this up urgently and it appears I really don’t have anything to worry about.
This is my chance, [...]

I did a despicable, unforgiveable and truly stomach-churning thing last week. I ate an Indian takeaway.
Yes siree. An authentic inauthentic Indian meal, glowing with oil and food colouring and resplendent in its own mediocrity.
I know I must not try to justify myself, but we returned to an empty fridge from Christmas weekend only to find all [...]
