 These poories are often made as breakfast back at home. As I hardly get time in the mornings to make an Indian Breakfast, I tend to make these as an evening meal or a weekend brunch. Its one of those days where myself and Noel craved for some poories. I know Rocky n myself have cut down on deep fried stuff till christmas, I had to make these as they are Noel’s favourite. Rather then avoiding completely I decided to make a few so that Rocky n me won’t be tempted to go for seconds.. I made simple potato curry with gram flour to go with the poories. This combo is something to die for, a very simple recpe but it tasted incredible.

 This curry is quite famous in all restaurants in South India where the taste is enhanced by adding dried peas. It gives an amazing texture and the taste is just heavenly.

I was delighted today when Amazing Anthony Worral Thompson who hosts Saturday Cooks cooked my recipe Live today on ITV. What an amazing experience it was to see my dish being cooked live and then those amazing chefs tasting as well. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to him about the recipe and about my family, noel and see him cook through the recipe on phone.  Cracking the coconut bit was the highlight for today’s programmes as many of my friends immediately called me and said that was an amazing technique to crack a coconut.

As fresh coconut goes into many of my dishes, I would definitely follow his tip from now on.

Jilly Goolden, the wine expert recognised me from my other TV show and selected a great Argentinian wine to go with it.

All in all, it was an amazing experience to talk to those Pros’ and to see them cook and taste my recipe while I am talking, it did made MY DAY today.

Here’s the dish he made today, thats King Prawn Curry. You can check the recipe n the show at www.itv.com/cooks.

Immediately after the show, I had many friends calling me and people whom i don’t even know said that  Indian food is new to them but “I inspired them to give it a go”. Its indeed my greatest pleasure to even inspire one person to cook Indian food at home fresh with simple n amazing spices.

Thank you all very much  and really appreciate it and thanks to all who promptly visited my blog immediately after the show to check my website and leave those amazing comments and mails. It really means a lot to me.

I made these chicken goujons over the weekend. Its a simple recipe, a great favourite among kids and even adults as well.

It doesn’t take anytime at all for preparing but the taste is absolutely incredible and wonderfully versatile.

I saw this recipe www.bbcgoodfood.com in a special edition which is cooking with kids and I adapted to my taste.

I like this recipe for its simplicity really. Whenever we have Noel’s friends home I do try to make different kids favourites as you know how fussy can kids get if they have to have the same things over and over again.
