Minestrone Milanese with Pesto Bread

Hello there, Hope each one of you are safe, hale and hearty, snuggled in a thick duvet with a steaming hot cup of coffee or soup, ready to face the soon-coming winter. If you live in a part of the world which is awaiting blazing, hot summers…don’t tell me for I will turn red with…

Chicken Katsu Curry

Hello hello! 🙂 Hope everyone is doing okay in various parts of the world? The present circumstances seem unreal , right? I have barely stepped out of the house ever since the Irish PM announced the closure of schools and colleges in March. I was in college at the time (I am a culinary arts…

Aromatic Egg Biryani

As an adult, I think Biryani is my favorite Indian dish. Meat/veggies/eggs and rice are cooked separately before being layered with various elements and finally, cooked together in steam…it results in one of the most tempting and insanely delicious rice preparations ever.

Leftover chicken curry biryani

This is actually a pretty funny story! My husband loves a good Mutton rogan josh. It consists of mutton chunks cooked with a gravy made of browned onions, yogurt, garlic, ginger and aromatic spices. Now, as we do not get goat’s meat here in Ireland, I decided to try my hand at making Chicken rogan josh. It was…
