Indian cuisine consists of a variety of regional and traditional cuisines native to the Indian subcontinent. Given the diversity in soil, climate, culture, ethnic groups, and occupations, these cuisines vary substantially and use locally available spices, herbs, vegetables, and fruits. Indian food is also heavily influenced by religion, in particular Hinduism and Islam, cultural choices and traditions. Indian cuisine has influenced other cuisines across the world, especially those from Europe (especially Britain), the Middle East, Southern African, East Africa, Southeast Asia, North America, Mauritius, Fiji, Oceania, and the Caribbean.

    Recipe Lamb tikka

    This dish is ideal for cooking on a BBQ/outdoor grill if you have one. Otherwise, use the oven grill (broiler), which is what I did. Getting some char on the kebabs is important and I used a culinary blow torch to enhance that. This dish can be made into lamb tikka masala with the addition of...

    British Indian Restaurant (BIR) cooking

    I've run out of batch/pre-cooked BIR ingredients in my freezer so it was time for me to whip up some more. Since I'm going through the process I thought I'd share it here too. 'BIR' as the title says, is an acronym for British Indian Restaurant. I don't really know that much of the history of...

    Recipe Hyderabad style lamb shanks

    This indulgent lamb dish is packed with aromatic flavours. Lamb shanks can be bought relatively inexpensively in the UK, but do need long slow cooking. The result is well worth it as the meat literally falls off the bone. Serve with rice or naan bread. Ingredients (serves 2) 2 tbsp of...

    Recipe Prawn (Shrimp) Patia

    This recipe was always a fixture at my local curry inn, back many years ago in London. It is, however, an authentic Indian recipe, and comes from the Parsees, who fled Persia 1,300 years ago to settle in Gujarat. The sweet & sour gives it away. Ingredients: (For 4 servings) 450 gms peeled prawns...

    Recipe Vegan "Butter Chicken"

    OK so yes, the version I make is dairy-free and meat-free butter chicken sauce, which kind of defeats the name, but you'll know roughly what to expect. It does have a good list of ingredients because I like flavour and I like to make things from scratch. So if you want an easy life, please just...

    Recipe Kerala prawn curry with coriander

    This dish is one of my favourites. Creamy coconut milk, sweet prawns, little crunchy bits of coriander stalk and mustard seeds and a nice bite from the chile powder. You can make this perfectly well with fish, if you haven't go prawns, and you can add more chile (I'd recommend a couple of green...

    Recipe Cauliflower & cheese curry (Ghobi Paneer)

    This is adapted from Rhagavan Iyer's recipe in his book "660 curries". He uses canola oil, which I dislike, and a whole bunch of fresh chiles, which I cut back on. You can make this vegan (I think) by using vegetable oil and firm tofu. Ingredients: 2 tbsps ghee or vegetable oil 1 medium...

    Recipe Jalebi (Indian sweet fried dough) drenched in rosewater syrup

    I don't claim to have THE authentic recipe for this, but I do think these are quite delicious. I made them for the first time today, and I would certainly say they're challenge worthy.
