HARISSA CHICKEN🐤 The ingredients for harissa p

HARISSA CHICKEN🐤
The ingredients for harissa paste are pretty simple- red chilies, garlic, oil, an acid (you can use vinegar or lemon juice), and spices including caraway, cumin and coriander, and sometimes herbs, like mint.
Harissa is a fiery and garlicky North African spice paste that's traditionally served alongside bread, stews and couscous dishes. But not as fiery as the naga or scotch bonnet.
🌿i like to use @greenfields_spices harissa spice mix and to that I also add
🌿black pepper
🌿lemon juice
🌿paprika
🌿minced garlic
🌿red pepper paste
🌿olive oil
Marinate a really good quality chicken overnight, pop in the oven until cooked and voila. Serve with your favourite sides.
@saffron_alley offer cruelty free chickens just Incase you’re after one 🐥
Let me just take a quick moment to urge you to purchase a meat thermometer. There is no way for you to know if your chicken is fully cooked unless you temp it!

PALAK PANEER I just got back in from the cinemas.

PALAK PANEER
I just got back in from the cinemas. We watched a classic one “Hocus Pocus”.
Yes we could have watched it for free at home, but there was something so Christmassy this half term I don’t know why but it just felt like it.
I can’t believe Hungry Husband sat and watched Hocus Pocus at the cinema with me. 🤪 when he really wanted to go and watch Honest Thieves with the main man Liam Neeson!!
We are back in and it’s cold. Time for a quick dinner.
The Palak Paneer is so easy:
1. Wilt a large bad of spinach, drain set aside.
2. Cube 1 pack paneer and fry in 2tbsp ghee with a few dried red chillis and set aside.
3. In the same pan add 2tbsp oil, fry 2 thinly sliced onions until golden.
4. Add 1tsp salt, 1tsp ginger and 1 tbsp garlic and fry.
5. Add 1tbsp tomato paste and some cream and cook it all down until caramelised and oil separates.
6. Combine everything together with an extra splash of cream. Sprinkle with dry methi and green chillis.
Enjoy both 😘

“I FANCY CURRY N CHIPS FROM IN-SHOPS STRATFORD”!
These are the words I used to chant at secondary school lunchtime when I was at Sarah Bonnell.
Now it’s my children 😍
Now my kids ask me for curry and chips from in shops.
Im so grateful to live and bring up my children in the same place as me, so we end up sharing the same experiences and also compare my time and theirs. This also helps me bond with my children. Sharing the same roots has been so effective in my parenting. And i feel sad knowing that one day il have to leave my home area for another 😞
Anyhow... I digress...
Not one single shop in the entire London has managed to serve a curry sauce like Rainbows. There’s nothing like it that comes close. In fact I find ALL other places who serve curry and chips gross.
Quite a heavy statement I know. Forgive me I’m sorry.
But what can I say? They’re just the best. And with spring rolls dunked in the sauce... mmm my half term afternoon has turned out rather good 😋

SAAG CHICKEN There’s been ALOT of chicken talk

FIRNI SHOTS #AD There is no way around it, we ha

FIRNI SHOTS
#AD There is no way around it, we have to become sustainable with our food waste! @tescofood have challenged me to get involved in their 10 day #TescoNoTimeForWasteChallenge
Family life alongside food dynamics has considerably changed over the past 10 years, we are eating more of a variety of foods so learning to adapt, change, shop, store and cooking food is critical in reducing food waste.
All week we have been taking part in the @tescofood No Time For Waste Challenge. I’ve learnt to meal plan for the week, something I’ve been desperately wanting to do with a busy life being a mum to five.
I’m reusing leftovers and making other meals like leftover rice becoming a pudding 😍
Small steps to a bigger change can really make all the difference! Did you know an average family could save up to £730 a year if they reduced their food waste? For me, that means investing more on my children!
I’ve added a link in my bio if you wanted to join the 10 day no time for waste challenge to help fight against food waste #TescoNoTimeForWasteChallenge
Why not give this recipe a go for your Friday treat today? I bet you have some leftover rice😋
🌿2 cups milk
🌿2 cups water
🌿1 cup leftover rice
🌿1tbsp chopped almonds
🌿50g semolina
🌿200g sugar
🌿1tbsp kewra water or rose
🌿optional extras are a pinch of salt, 1/8tsp cardamom powder and 1tbsp ghee and saffron for garnish. Also add cinnamon stick if you like. And use edible silver for garnish.
🌿Garnish with 2tbsp chopped pistachios
Heat it all up and then blend, chill and garnish with nut options

MEAT & CABBAGE FRY Whilst cooking last night, I h

MEAT & CABBAGE FRY
Whilst cooking last night, I had this idea where I spoke out my mind in Bengali saying all my favourite Bengali dialogues. There are so many more.🤪
What’s yours favourite Bengali dialogue/s ?
My meat and cabbage recipe is insanely delicious. It’s a pure meat flavour with fats of shoulder melting alongside the cabbage. No sauce. Just pure meat feast 😋
This is a Hungry Household favourite. We absolutely love this curry. It’s meat is succulent and meaty and it’s flavours are permeated into chunky sweet pieces of white cabbage.
A dry bhuna dish, perfect for a summers day like today. Best enjoyed with fresh, hot rice. I love it and I love today’s weather. I’m off on a buggy stroll, with my little girl, out in the garden... #quarantinelife
Recipe:
☘️5tbsp oil, add 3 sliced onions. Cook until golden.
☘️add 1kg shoulder mixed meat mutton, 1tbsp ginger and garlic, 1.5tsp salt and whole spices: bay leaves, cinnamon stick, black cardamom, black peppercorns, green cardamoms and cook on a slow simmer for 45mins.
☘️add powders : 1tsp coriander, 2tsp hungry spice mix, 1/2tsp chilli powder and 1tsp turmeric.
☘️cook and stir add 1cup water for 10 mins.
☘️add chunky cabbage pieces and stir cook for 15/20 mins.
☘️garnish with coriander, coriander seeds and slit green chills and a dusting of garam masala.
Enjoy this recipe ❤️

THE SIMPLE LIFE Today’s world has many luxuries

THE SIMPLE LIFE
Today’s world has many luxuries that are supposed to make life easier. At times they may, but other times, they make things more complicated.
Cooking oven food may seem like I didn’t bother with After school dinner today. And you’re most probably right about that too. But time and how it’s spent, well that’s irreplaceable.
Pay attention to how much time you are spending doing things. Look for ways to cut down on time you think is being wasted on unnecessary things, like for me it’s cooking on many days.
Time and money are two of the most valuable resources people have. When life gets simpler, the amount of these two things that a person has available will rise. That is the benefit of a simpler life in today’s world.
Life is about choices. Choosing simple living is something that is becoming a popular thing to do. And for me, skipping on cooking and relying on the oven means I can spend that extra hour playing a game or two with the kids.
There are five of them after all, so shortcuts is quite often the better choice.
What have you cut out of your life so you can spend more time with your partner or children?
