Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup
Whilst we’re in a complicated relationship with the weather this week – raining for 2 hours, sunny for 5 minutes – why not make a good ol’ noodle soup. Not just any ordinary chicken noodle soup but a Thai red curry noodle soup.
Orange Chicken
Orange Chicken is an American-Chinese recipe that you can find at halal Panda Express and PF Changs around the world. It’s akin to a sweet and sour chicken but this version is much better, especially that little after zing from the orange flavour.
Malai Chicken Tikka
I’m not going to waffle on today but here is a nice and light malai chicken tikka recipe. You may have had the bright red chicken tikka; malai (cream) chicken tikka is the softer and creamier sister of the bunch and a breeze to make! Plus, it is the perfect dish for this bbq weather […]
Chicken Shawarma
Since Ramadan is over, dinner in my house is returning to a somewhat healthy state.

You may have biryani planned for Eid lunch but in my house, we have chicken kiev. And that’s because everything about it is Eid-worthy.
No Bake Mango Cheesecake

This no bake cheesecake is not only impressive to look at, but it’s incredibly easy to put together. You can even make smaller portions to […]
