0 Kerala Chicken Curry

Tonight I cooked Seena's Kerala Chicken Curry for my hubby and me.

It was delicious, thank you Seena for such a wonderful recipe.

You are missing out on a lovely meal if you have not yet tried this recipe. It was very aromatic, had a perfect heat of the chilli and just over all packed with flavour. Seena wrote out the her recipe easy for other people to understand.

All credit goes to Seena click here for Seena's Curry Recipe.

Also to go with this lovely curry I made some Wholewheat Chapattis.

We really enjoyed this meal tonight. It goes to show we should all have a go at cooking one an other's recipes, after all blogging is all about sharing our favourite foods together as friends.

Love Jeena x

0 Zucchini Spiral Surprise

This Zucchini Pasta recipe was very more-ish indeed! Each of the vegetables are cooked to a savoury sweetness that was just delicious along side the spiral pasta and lets not forget the lovely Parmesan cheese! Best of all it only takes 10 minutes or so to cook. So why not give Jeena's Zucchini Spiral Surprise a try and taste the tempting flavours for yourself? :)

Ingredients
Spiral Pasta
1 Medium Zucchini/Courgette (halved then sliced into quarters)
1 Small Red Onion (sliced)
1 Small Red Capsicum/Pepper ( de-seeded & chopped)
1 Small Green Capsicum/Pepper (de-seeded & chopped)
1 Tomato (diced)
2 Garlic Cloves (crushed roughly chopped)
Tiny drops lemon Juice
Large Pinch Dried Parsley
Salt & Black Pepper
Olive Oil
Grated Parmesan Cheese

Getting Started....

Fry your onions in a pan with some olive oil then on a medium heat add your peppers then tomatoes.

Cook for a minute or two then add your zucchini/courgettes. Stir well then place a lid on and simmer for 5 minutes approx.

Now add your garlic, parsley, lemon juice and salt/pepper. Stir well then place on the lid again for approx 5 minutes again. Mind not to add to much lemon juice as you only need a little. Your zucchini is ready when it starts to look more transparent and becomes soft in texture.

Once cooked turn off the heat and add some grated Parmesan cheese into your vegetables. Stir into your freshly cooked pasta spirals.

Enjoy Jeena's Zucchini Spiral Surprise. :)

0 Tea Bread Recipe

Since the weather is starting to change here in the UK I thought it was time I cooked a lovely wholesome snack that goes perfect with a cup of fresh hot tea.

My tea bread recipe is a cross between a fruit cake and a fruit bread.

It is very delicious and there will be plenty to go around, you can eat it as a piece of cake or like us - eat it sliced with a thin spread of butter, yum yum!

All you have to do is soak your dried fruit in some hot tea over night then the recipe is almost done, yes it's that easy! Why not give this delicious recipe a try?

See Jeenas full step-by-step tea brea recipe below.

Ingredients
8 oz/225g Sultanas
4oz/100g Raisins
4oz/100g Currants
6oz/175g Light Brown Sugar
1/4 Pint Hot Fresh Tea
1 Medium Egg
8oz225g Self Raising Flour

Sultanas, raisins and currants..

How to Make Jeenas Tea Bread Recipe

First make a 1/4 pint of fresh tea and add your sugar.

Your tea must be hot to melt the sugar. Mix it well then add all your dried fruit mix well again.

You may think there is not enough fluid to soak up the fruit, if you gently tilt your bowl/jug to the side you should see there is quite a lot of liquid.

Cover and leave over night for your fruits to plump up.

The next day pour all of your fruit with juices into a bowl.

Mix your egg into your fruit then add your flour and mix well.

After mixing well pour your tea bread mixture into a greased and floured oven dish.

Place into a pre-heated oven at 160C for approx 1 hour to 1 and 1/2 hours.

It depends on your oven so check your tea bread by poking a skewer into to - if it comes out clean it should be ready, do not open the oven for at least 40 minutes.

Turn out onto a rack and leave to cool.

Slice and serve as desired, eat as a peice or slice and spread with butter.
