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!
My take on a Thai Red Duck Curry with Pineapple is a huge part of these treats, it may sound difficult and look impressive but this dish is incredibly simple to make and if you are planning a dinner party over the Christmas period you can rustle this up really quickly and simply
My love of spicy food and particularly Indian spicy food is well documented here and I have been obsessed with this chicken pickle recipe for a long old time.
This Pot Roast Pork vindaloo certainly is not the sort of thing I was bought up with as being a vindaloo in the UK, which is typically a very spicy fairly run of the mill curry.
There are thousands of easy butter chicken recipes on the web and whilst this is easy it is not a quick dinner it is very easy all of the work is in the preparation, I am a firm believer that often spending that little extra time on something really pays off so you can keep your quick and easy versions as you cannot cheat flavour!
weet and sour chicken is a stalwart of Chinese takeaways in the UK and this recipe is my homage to that, gone is the much more traditional sweet and sour sauce of my recent sweet and sour noodle recipe, and in comes something loaded with ketchup and even tinned pineapple.
Stir fried noodles are probably my favourite quick and easy meal, all of the work goes into the preparation and then a frantic 7-10 minutes over a searingly hot wok and bish bash bosh you have a really tasty simple meal that is much more than the sum of its parts.
I had so much fun planning, shooting and cooking my chip shop Fish & Chips recipe, it is not something we cook very often for obvious reasons but every now and then it is good to say ‘take a stroll’ to all the health nonsense and cook and eat something that makes you clap your hands like a child.
This chicken Balti recipe definitely says more about where and when I was raised than any other recipe here on Krumpli. I was born in the mid-1970’s in the UK’s second City. Birmingham and if it were to be a Country its national dish would almost certainly be a Chicken Balti. Or it would have been back when I was growing up anyway!
Calling naan bread ‘the King of Indian flatbreads’ may sound odd but I am from Birmingham and was bought up on Balti and Naan bread, the Balti thing is a whole new post but Naan Bread are leavened flatbreads traditionally cooked on the inside wall of a tandoor oven.
I love Scotch Egg so imagine my joy when I stumbled across something called a nargisi kebab that was described as an Inidan Scotch egg in an Indian Restaurant in the UK about 10 years ago…
