FakeAways
I have always loved takeaway food, I’ve never eaten them regularly but there is something so special about getting something different delivered to your door. What’s even better is making them yourself and on many occasions it is quicker to make them at home than it is to wait for the dude on the moped!
Chicken Dhansak
I have used the phrase many times here on krumpli, a curry is never just a curry! This chicken dhansak recipe is another one that demonstrates the diversity of that simple name.
Instant Pot Chinese Spare Ribs

Spicy Szechuan Shrimp Stir Fry
Krumpli is littered with quick Friday Fakeaway dinners but this spicy Szechuan shrimp stir fry is probably the quickest of all… I have it down as 15 minutes prep and 5 minutes cooking but that is allowing for a sip of wine or beer as the prep work happens and a chat as you go, if your concentrating you can prep in 5-10 minutes which puts this recipe at 10-15 minutes from fridge/cupboard to table and it is all from scratch
Sweet and Sour Roast Pork Tenderloin With Egg Fried Rice
It would seem that I am on a full fakeaway run here on Krumpli to kick off 2018, Lamb Rogan Josh, Keema Matar and now a sweet and sour roast pork tenderloin with egg fried rice. I honestly have no real idea why, I rarely have any clue what I am doing in terms of a wider plan,
