firecracker salmon mirchi with homemade garlic & lime rotis.

the last recipe as vini and bal's may blogger of the month is with their fiery mirchi sauce. promising to set your palette on fire, this is the most potent of the range, heated by three types of chilli and a complex blend of fragrant spices. i chose to pair this with a salmon fillet and have a go at balancing the heat with homemade rotis infused with fresh garlic and zesty lime.

matar paneer curry.

spinach, chickpea and cauliflower curry.

whilst looking for a new curry to try on the bbc good food website i came along this delicious sounding chickpea, tomato and spinach curry. so this week i decided to try it out along with the little change of added cauliflower. and let me tell you it was absolutely lovely if i say so myself! and quite a few of your five a day too which is always a winner for me :)
