Paneer Korma

This paneer korma is perfect for when you want something deeply comforting, rich, and flavourful. Something that feels like a treat, but you also want it to be healthy, packed with nutrients, and, most importantly, fast! While traditional kormas are famous for their slow-simmered complex nut pastes, there is a brilliant way to capture that exact same velvety, aromatic magic in a fraction of the time. By combining the rich, satisfying texture of paneer with a vibrant rainbow of fresh vegetables and a perfectly balanced cream sauce, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in under 30 minutes. Why I think this paneer korma tastes absolutely incredible: At its core, a great korma is all about balance. It shouldn't just be [...]

Middle Eastern Butter Bean Stew

Middle Eastern Butter Bean Stew

This Middle Eastern butter bean stew is inspired by my love of Fasoulia - a bean dish I grew up eating and loving! Growing up, my mum's Fasoulia was one of my favourite dishes. I used to get so excited when it was Fasoulia day! A rich tomatoey stew with white beans and chunks of meat served with rice and a fresh salad. Although this dish is traditionally made with white/cannellini beans, I decided to make a slight variation and used butter beans instead. The creaminess of the butter beans marries so well with the zingy, rich tomato sauce. They both taste equally as delicious though, so whichever you have available will do. A super speedy meal that's ready in [...]

Butter Bean Tofu Stew (High Protein + Vegan)

Butter Bean Tofu Stew (High Protein + Vegan)

A delicious creamy dish that's ready to enjoy in 30 minutes! This butter bean tofu stew is packed with a whopping 32g protein and 10g fibre per serving! It's also super easy to make with easy to find ingredients. One of the problems with vegan/vegetarian dishes can easily be lacking in protein. I always make a conscious effort to make sure my meals contain 20-30g protein to make sure I meet my daily requirements. Beans are a good source of protein, but you would need to eat a lot of them to get enough protein, which isn't easy as they're also high in fibre and can be difficult to digest for some. Tofu is one of the easiest ways to [...]

California Walnut Keema

California Walnut Keema

*This post is sponsored by California Walnuts* Keema is a minced meat dish usually made with minced beef or lamb. It’s an Indian dish, but variations of it are enjoyed in other counties like Pakistan, Bangladesh and even in Middle Eastern countries. I grew up in Iraq and we make it minus the chilli, so basically a milder version of it, but equally as delicious! It’s such a comforting meal, especially served with rice in a bowl during the cold winter months! I’m creating a vegan version using California Walnuts by blending the walnuts into a ‘mince’ then soaking it in water to make it lovely and soft to mimic real minced meat. This way it will absorb all the [...]

HelloFresh Review – Coconut Dal with Roasted Butternut Squash

HelloFresh Review – Coconut Dal with Roasted Butternut Squash

HelloFresh Review - Coconut Dal with Roasted Butternut Squash *This post is sponsored by HelloFresh* I’m all about quick and easy meals that are made from scratch at home, but I know that on busy days just the idea of having to think of what to make for dinner, grabbing the ingredients from the supermarket and putting a meal together can seem daunting when all you want to do is put your legs up and enjoy some down time. In my case what would usually end up happening after a long day of work, running errands and other chores is I would end up spending ages trying to think of something to whip up, but by the end of it [...]
