This Thai green vegetable curry is typical of the cooking found in the south of Thailand. You can use most vegetables- I used carrot instead of aubergine in the version pictured but do use the round thai aubergines or baby aubergines if you can find them. I also often substitute the home made thai green curry paste with ready made- using 2-4 tbsps depending on the strength. The recipe is from ” World Food Cafe” by Chris and Carolyn Calidicott.
A delicious paneer recipe to make at home from ” Romy Gill’s India ” by Romy Gill. She says its also a great choice for packed lunches or summer picnics: cut a pitta in half, turn each half into a pocket and fill with paneer to enjoy with pickled onions and salad on the side. She also suggests you can eat this paneer in a wrap, along with sliced onions and the chutney of your choice.
A recipe for traditional Afghan style breakfast eggs which should be served with naan breads on the side. The recipe is from ” Parwana” by Durkhanai Ayubi.
A baked version of this Persian dish from ” The Saffron Tales” by Yasmin Khan. You can make individual kukus in a muffin tin or make one large kuku to slice at the table. Serve warm or cold with some salad, salty Middle Eastern cucumber pickles and some bread.
Im not sure if this counts as a snack or a pudding, but either way it is most delicious. You can use nectarines or peaches instead of figs. Its from Debora Robertson’s ” Notes from a Small Kitchen Island”.
An easy recipe for a vegetarian main or a side dish. Its from ” Dominique’s Kitchen” by Dominique Woolf. I love broccoli, but purple sprouting is my favourite type and you could use this instead.
This speedy recipe is from ” A Flash in the Pan” by John Whaite. Its very similar to the other recipe I have for a Chilli Paneer, but give it a try and see which you prefer.
A Korean dish of marinated meat and my go to dish whenever i visit my local restaurant Per and Kor. Its run by a lovely couple- she is Korean and he is Persian and I have never been disappointed with the food although there can be a bit of a wait. They serve their Bulgogi with crunchy lettuce leaves to wrap the beef. This version is from ” A Flash in the Pan” by John Whaite. Start making this in the morning to give the beef plenty of time to marinate.
