Bombay potatoes

WHAT YOU NEED:

1 x Large potato
1 x Tbsp (Patak) Chicken Tikka Paste
1 x cup of water (maybe a little more to add to sauce)
1 x Tomato
1 x Red chilli
Half chopped onion
salt and pepper to taste


Peel and chop potato and tomato into mouth sized pieces.
Part boil the potatoes in water for about 5-8 minutes then remove and place into a bowl.
In the bowl add tomatoes and Tikka Paste (not sauce). mix altogether ensuring tomatoes and potatoes are covered, then add onions, red chilli, salt and pepper.
Leave in the fridge for about half an hour for the flavours to infuse.
Add a cup of water then gently stir, you may need to add a little more to ensure the potatoes have enough to cook in.
Bring to boil stirring most of the time. Prick potatoes with a sharp knife to ensure that they are cooked through.
The steam will evaporate and the sauce will thicken.
Serve with boiled rice and chapatis.

The Electric Pressure Cooker

Not so long ago I brought my pressure cooker because I wanted to save time and with ill health I thought it would make life a little easier. But to my astonishment it works out to be one of the best time saving gadgets I have purchased, I would absolutely recommend anyone to buy one of these. There are several on the market now and range in prices I got mine at a really good price off the internet. I have made stews, boiled rice (to perfection), I even made BBQ wings in it. Its faster than a electric slow cooker even though it had the slow cook enablement button. you can even cook cakes so it says in the instruction manual.  This cost around £35-40 and I have seen larger 5ltr capacity on sale for around the £50 mark There is a timer delay on it so you can go about your day and it will be done for when you return. It keeps warm incase you not back in time for the beeps to say its cooked.  They are a good buy and well worth the money and time saving.

Freeze until needed.

About me.

I should have done this along time ago,  people asking me how I do my cooking and where I get my passion from. Who and where do I get my ideas from?  Where does this knowledge come from? I didn't learn this from school thats for sure and certainly didn't go to college to be taught how to cook.  Cooking to me was just enjoyable, like a hobby tried and tested sometimes i failed miserably. My children used to look at me in a way only children do " what is that"? Hiding vegetables in other foods to try and get them to eat their greens. Concealing sprouts and leeks in with a cabbage I knew they liked and enjoyed.  This did work for a while.  I even had to call sausages 'Batman Bangers' just so that my son would eat a sausage! Crazy I know. I spent a lot of time in the kitchen when I was younger.  I was an accident prone kid and whilst I was off school for one reason or another I used to be watching my mum cook in the kitchen.  Bugging her with questions ...
