View all Fish

Fish dishes are a cornerstone of proper Indian cuisine. I love fish - there’s so much you can do with it. Just take a succulent piece of chunky white fish and you can deep fry it for Pakora, blend it into a beautifully spiced pie, or add it to a creamy sauce in a Masala. The world is your oyster when you cook Indian fish recipes!

Whether you fancy a rich and indulgent dish, hot and tangy flavours, or a light and healthy mid-week meal, there are fish recipes to make sure everyone ends up happy and full.

Healthy eating is very important to me and my family. When I cook with fish, I know my kids will be eating a nutritious and utterly delicious meal that will leave them wanting more!

View all Lamb

Lamb is the most popular red meat eaten in India, mainly because the cow is sacred and so eating beef is considered a grave sin throughout most of the country.

Indian lamb dishes are reserved mainly for special occasions, so most lamb recipes are quite opulent and contain the more expensive spices like star anise.

My personal favourite lamb dish is Keema – a rich and spicy minced lamb and pea curry that’s kind of the Indian answer to Chilli Con Carne. It’s a traditional Punjabi dish and probably one of the most common Indian lamb recipes used in real Indian homes. I like to serve it with Roti wraps, rice and chutney – basically an Indian burrito!

When making Indian lamb curry with chunks of meat rather than mince you should usually braise the meat in the sauce for a good few hours. I find that these make an excellent choice for slow cooker recipes.

View all Pork

Indian pork recipes have traditionally not been too popular, due to the large number of Muslims living in the country. Coming from a Sikh family, we have no problem eating pork, so I’ve experimented down the years, using it to replace more commonly used chicken or lamb.

The dish it seems to suit most is that curry house classic, Vindaloo. The history of this dish is rather mistaken. Usually seen as the epitome of British Indian cuisine, the dish actually has Portuguese origins. Click on the recipe below to find out more.

Other Indian pork dishes include the Coorg Pandi, also from the South of India, where most pork is eaten. It’s an earthy delight that works wonderfully in a slow cooker.

I’m a huge fan of spicing up other cuisines, so on this page you’ll also find my take on that classic BBQ food, pork spare ribs.

View all Vegetarian

Being vegetarian doesn't mean you can't eat amazing curry, in fact, quite the opposite! There are tons of Indian vegetarian recipes to choose from, every bit as tasty as their meaty counterparts.

As well as the ethical argument for not eating meat, there’s a growing focus on vegetarianism as a sustainable diet. Rearing animals for food uses far more energy and resources than growing vegetables, because you have to grow vegetables to feed animals in the first place!

For example, beef requires 160 times more land compared to vegetable standards such as potatoes, wheat, and rice. Farming cows also produces 11 times more greenhouse gas - that’s a lot!

Almost a third of Indians are vegetarian which means that vegetarian Indian food is not hard to find. Curries are made with a huge variety of vegetables and pulses as their main ingredient, from okra and aubergine to lentils and chickpeas.
