So I entered the Great Taste Awards 2019 and my Chicken Curry only went and won 2 Gold Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ (“2-star: Above & beyond delicious - less than 10% of entries will achieve this rating”). Absolutely over the moon with the judges remarks & comments and only wished my beloved Biji 😇 (Grandmother) was here to cherish this moment with me. My Mum (and Dad!) are absolutely delighted and I’m grateful for them to be here with me to share this moment. The recipe for this dish is generations old and has evolved from me watching Biji and my Mum cook it! Dedicating these stars to my Mum (still the original Masterchef) and my Biji❤️⭐️⭐️ Thank you @guildoffinefood for my ⭐️⭐️ and a big thanks to all you folks for your ongoing foodie love & support 🙏😘 Also thanks to Georgina & John @huntshillfarm who supply us our our free range chicken🙌🏼 . #guildoffinefood #goldstar #star #surrey #surreylife #foodieaward #heritage #indian #food #chickencurry #curry #awardwinning #freerange #local #handmade #artisan #greattasteawards #greattasteawards2019 #greattaste #foodlovers

In my element! 👩🏻🍳🔥 This picture was taken @asmakhanlondon’s restaurant Darjeeling Express @darjeelingldn when I did my first supper club there back in 2018. Asma kindly opens her restaurant doors for cooks like myself to come in and take over the kitchen & dining room. It gave me the opportunity to showcase my authentic “Ghar ka Khanna” (Homestyle Cooking) to a sell out house.. they all rolled home with full bellies after dining on four courses! Thank you for believing in me Asma and for making that magical day happen, eternally grateful 🙏❤️. Talking of Supper clubs tune into BBC Surrey Radio today @1.40pm (BST) I’ll be back on Joe Talbot’s ‘Feel Good Friday” show chatting supper clubs and obvs food! Listen in at 104 FM and 104.6 FM local radio or the @bbcsounds App. 📻 Happy Friday Peeps! 😘☀️ . #radio #bbc #surrey #sussex #bbcradio #live #local #food #foodie #curry #indian #vegan #vegetarian #recipe #shoplocal #freerange #sustainable #realfood #cookeryclasses #events #streetfood #farmersmarket #woking #authentic #gharkakhanna #indian #middleeastern #collaboration @bbc @thelittleindiankitchen

Mid week fridge raid! 👀 When you have veggies 🍄🍅🥬 (and Mexican🧀🌶) eyeing you up in the fridge every time you open it dying to be used... a frittata is the best way to use it all up! So if you’re looking for quick, easy & healthy meal ideas with variety that don’t bore you to death, frittatas are always a great option! No fuss and portable too and can be served for any meal.... breakfast, lunch, a snack or dinner! I sometimes take frittata wedges to picnics too☀️🧺 I don’t always add potatoes so I guess it’s more of a glorified omelette today🤓🍳 with lots of herbs from my garden to boot!😋 .What are you having for lunch or is anyone else having a fridge raid?! 😁 . #postworkout #lunch #whatyoueating #inspo #feedfeed #food #foodie #homemade #fridgeraid #herbalicious #herbs #garden #fritatta #frittata #eggs #dinner #snack #feedfeed #mexicancheese #eattherainbow #healthy #surreymummy

Warm Summer nights call for a little alfresco dining in the garden... tonight’s dinner is actually a fridge raid salad... BBQ leftovers: black & white sesame salmon, roast sweet potato wedges, cherry tomatoes, @waitroseandpartners babyleaf herb salad and always some fresh herbs, tonight‘s herb of choice was dill 🌱topped with some toasted flaked almonds for a bit of crunch (toasted nuts = a deeper nuttier flavour🤓) and a drizzle of balsamic 👊🏼🙌🏼☀️ Anyone else love a fridge raid meal? . #summerdining #alfresco #salmon #sesame #salad #garden #homegrown #saladinspo #fridgeraid #salmon #dinner #leftovers #feedfeed #summernights #eat #healthy #greens #almonds #leftovers #herbs #healthyfood #tasty #foodie #surreymum #sesame

Throwback to last Thursday for a fab day out @tasteoflondon with @rohitnanda. Always great to see our Butcher @simonthebutch showcasing his amazing butchery skills alongside @djbbq at the BBQ Pit!🔥🍖 Always gotta try @chefrohitghai’s delicious Ghati Prawns & Biryani which is always executed to perfection. Lovely to meet Chef Parminder @indianaccent who kindly conjured up an enormous feast for us... the Murgh Malai Kulcha was highly recommended by @bibiroy and I have to say it totally delivered on all levels!! 💯 Another memorable dish was the Prawn Baklava by @bala_baya very pretty on the eye and a big hit on eating 😋... the prawns were mahoosive and I think my favourite dish this year. @rohitnanda enjoyed the Duck Foie Gras with tipsy cherry by @lechefpaski @clubgascon and we also tried the Nikkei Gyoza (dumplings)🥟 from @chottomatteldn. Sufffice to say we rolled home rather content & happy... we also caught up with gorgeous gal pal & pastry chef extraordinaire👸🏻 @ravneeteats working alongside the amazing @ottolenghi .... til next time Taste of London!...🎉 It’s going to be a scorcher of a day tomorrow so BBQ’s at the ready!🔥☀️ What’s your favourite food/s to cook on the barbie? 🍠🍆🌱🍔🍤🍖🍗🍔... In our home it’s garlic & herb Prawns, Paneer Tikka, Tandoori Chicken & Kids’ Burgers! 😎🤓🔥 . #foodie #london #taste #tasteoflondon #food #f52grams #londoneats #michelin #chef #prawn #bbq #festival #londonfoodie #kulcha #foodcoma #foodieheroes #summer #londonfoodie #review #indian #asian #yum #outside #chef #demo #feast #instafood

I do love all fresh herbs🌿 ... they are amazing for adding into dishes for a big flavour boost and that herby green freshness without the use of any unnecessary additives & preservatives that can be found in sauces et al that come in jars and pastes. Summer days call for a fast-fix meal and my classic pesto is on the menu tonight (plus I have a mini-jungle of the stuff growing in my herb pots so it needs to be used!) 🌿🌱🌱🌿 I always dry fry my pine nuts in a pan first - adds texture and so much tastier - I then put into a food processor with the basil (lots!), Parmesan, olive oil, pinch of @maldonsalt & garlic cloves - whizz it all up & you’ve got your own homemade delicious pesto in under 15 mins! 🙌🏼 🍽 Have you got a fast-fix sauce or meal you’d like to share? Please do...😚 . #summerdays #herbs #fresh #basil #food #kidsfood #cookingforkids #surreymummy #mumlife #pinenuts #garlic #sauce #15minutemeals #thefeedfeed #f52grams #eat #recipe #foodinspo #homemade #italian #pasta #inmykitchen

Tomato Tuesday 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅 Busy with admin stuff today with a basket full of cherry tomatoes staring me in the face...🧐 I bunged them all in an oven tray with some garlic cloves, lemon olive oil, @maldonsalt sea salt flakes & pepper... Swipe ⬅️ to see the results!😋 This is my go-to tomato sauce that I use for most of my non-Indian tomato based dishes... so easy, simple, fresh, yummy and the best bit... there’s only one oven tray to wash up after! 🤓 I sometimes add a handful of fresh chopped basil too (or any other fresh herbs!) but didn’t have any indoors today. I’ll be using this for the kids’ Lasagna tonight...as requested by Paarus, my first born❤️. What’s your go-to homemade sauce? Would love to know! . #sauce #tomatosauce #tomato #cookingforkids #healthyeating #homemade #fresh #roast #garlic #recipe #simple #easyeats #mumlife #surreymum #forkyeah #instahappy #stoneware #eattheseason

Say hello to our ‘Gobi, Gajjar, Shalgum & Mirchi’ Achaar aka ‘Cauliflower, Carrot, Turnip & Chilli’ Pickle! Perfect with a Mathi (crisp, crunchy Indian snack) or 2 to warm you up nicely on a miserable cold day like today here in the UK... 😩 It’s supposed to be Summer.. where’s the ☀️☀️☀️?! We also eat this achaar with fresh rotis/chapattis, parantas and Curries!😋 This pickle reminds me of my lovely late Biji (Grandmother) as I watched & learned to make it from her 😇❤️.

Could do with a bit of cheese right now... the vino wouldn’t go amiss either 😆... 🧀🍷 Throwback to our cheese course @mererestaurant by @galettigram for my birthday earlier this year..... swipe ⬅️ to see what I thought of it!. Cheese & fresh bread is such a simple combo but there’s something so comforting about eating it... I spent many a group study day at University with my fab friends @ljhole and @thebeachgypsy eating Tiger Bread (anyone remember that?!) with Brie and Hummus 🙌🏼 📚 Anyone else like a bit of cheese?! 😁 Current fave is a little bit of Mexicana Chilli cheese 🧀🌶🌶💥 ps. It’s ok to say Paneer aka ‘Indian cheese’ 😊🙌🏼 . #tbt #tbthursday #cheese #fromage #vino #michelin #london #londoneats #finedining #f52grams #feedfeed #instafood #cheeseandwine #cheesecourse

Dreaming of this Suji ka Halwa adorned with Rose petals, Pistachio & Iranian Green Sultanas I made for an event with my @a.w.m.b tribe... However, just done an extreme Bootcamp with my Mama friend @elizabeth.davis.79 (cheers PT @ahalliwell 💪🏻) so I’ll just leave this right here and drool instead....👅😋🤓 I like mine piping hot with a nice cup of masala chai! My kids like it warm and ‘just plain - no nuts or petals!’, my cousin Neetu likes it with some kheer aka rice pudding on the side! 😳 How do you like yours?! 😊 . #bootcamp #food #want #halwa #suji #sooji #prasad #semolina #rose #pistachio #sultana #yum #f52grams #foodie #inspo #ramadan #indianfood #kheer #punjabi #gharkakhanna #instafood #happyvibes #semolinahalwa #sweet 🌈 📸 Rupinder @a.w.m.b 🔥
