Seekh Kebab

Ground meat seasoned with some great spices and onions, molded around skewers and slow cooked, that’s seekh kebab on a skewer for you.
This is probably the easiest seekh kebab recipe that you’ll come across. I have tailored it for home cooking.

Black Pepper Chicken

There isn’t much of a preparation required to cook this easy delicacy – there are no fancy ingredients, just common stuff found in your kitchen. There is no complicated technique, but there is some serious “peppery love” involved!

Garlic Chicken

Chunks of chicken coated in a sticky base of flavours – it is all subtle, yet finely balanced with a lot of garlic (without overdoing it), a dash of vinegar, a pinch of sugar, a hint of chillies. You want to go back to that plate again and again!

Asian Style Samosa

Samosa, in India, is a popular fried snack with a savoury filling, usually mashed potatoes (aloo) and spices. This is a new samosa recipe made with Asian spring roll ingredients – minced chicken, carrots, cabbage, spring onion, and ginger, prepared with soy and oyster sauces.

Prawns Peera (Chemmeen Peera)

Prawns peera is an authentic Kerala delicacy celebrating some of the ingredients the state is famous for – most notably lovely seafood, prawns in this instance. Mellow sweetness of grated coconut, and the subtle tanginess of pot tamarind (kudampuli), with the understated heat from green chillies brings out the best of prawns.
