Sweet and Sour Mixed Fish Curry

In tow with Mrs Demonology round the local supermarket is never my chosen pastime, for my part I would have it delivered but Mrs Demonology is very particular preferring to inspect, feel and caress all that is natural that we purchase on our weekly expedition to spend. spend. spend. That said whilst on this recent sojourn I espied a […]

Shevandi Kada…King Prawn and Baby Onion

Two of my most favourite things in the world prawn and onion and this “nearly” traditional recipe which features both in a symphony of taste. Although you really will have to love onion to fully appreciate this recipe the sauce is unctuous and full of the sweet and sour flavours of the Jaggery and the tamarind with chopped onion making the […]

Fish curry of the sitting Patiently kind!

This recipe springs from all of those hung over individuals who tell me that take away curries taste better the morning after. Hey if cold curry is your thing for breakfast who am I to argue! Personally I never have left overs and I guess that says more about me than anything else, I […]

Cookin wid the Green stuff…..Curry in a hurry!

A lot of what goes on in Indian food is quite complex and sometimes more than a little fiddly, meaning that preparing something tasty and fast is a non starter well that’s what you might think but that is simply not true one of the great gems to have in your fridge is a green Masala […]

When a Bhaji is a Pakora..or is that a Bhakora

As your average western white boy, the language of Indian cuisine can only be described as confusing even at the best of times. What is true is that there appear to be very few firm rules, and any rules such as they are exist in a purely regional variation not to be confused with dialect, more about interpretation. […]

Murgh Kandhari Kofta… in Support of my favourite RANT!

Ok I admit it I have been a little quiet recently and I haven’t posted much…. Not all my fault as I have been doing other things, you know getting on with the life that is mine and not eating that much Indian food; well no, that’s a lie because I have. I’ve been getting […]

Murg Pyaz Dopiaza… Onion double cooked with chicken

If you going to draw any parallels here it is Dopiaza, as that essentially means twice or double cooked and that is exactly what you are doing to the onions, that said I have also dipped into Vindaloo with the addition of some vinegar, and also added a tablespoon of Tamarind paste for that final […]

Improvisational Demonology

Sometimes as you sleep and the ingredients of life float through your psyche, you know, that time in your dream world where all the colours odours and people’s collide, where nothing is quite real although it is vivid and believable at that moment, where reality matters not in that you do business with the French onion seller on […]

Fish & potatoes……Putting it inconveniently

Ok I admit it… Yes I do have some weaknesses and sometimes convenience wins over pure gastronomic excellence that my kitchen is reputed to be famous for. Fish fingers, sausages, burgers and the very occasional pizza too, can also be seen at those times when I or Mrs Demonology just can’t be bothered . Yep I use convenience […]

Salmon and King Prawn Pathia .. Go on spoil the one you love!

First things first this isn’t a budget recipe and therefore not one for the kids, Prawns and Salmon are not cheap where I come from, but the food police tell me the Salmon is good for me lots of Omega 5 whatever that is brain stuff I’m reliably informed. Fish wherever you buy it these days […]
