Welcome !

Hello everyone ! 

I am Paul. I came to UK in 2009 for my studies and got a job so decided to stay in UK for a little longer. My main hobby is cooking ! Cooking helps me to lessen my stress, makes me happy. I have thrown so many Indian Dinner parties for my friends, helping them understand the absolute and true Taste Of India.

Many of my friends now curse me for introducing them to my cooking, as now they find the take away and supermarket "Indian" dishes blend and uninteresting. This is not to brag how good I am with this, but to show you the reality. All that you have been eating is been altered in such a way, that it has lost all its true flavor and taste. Once you get the hang of Indian cooking you will never go back to that place again !

My latest Dinner party food display !

Cooking for non-Indian friends have made me realize that there are several myths and some disturbing stories floating around the typical Indian food, so I would like to clear some before getting into it. 

• Curry is the main dish - No. Curry is not the main dish, we have curry like gravy on top of the roast turkey. Rice is our main dish !
• Curries are made really hot to hide the taste and scent of spoilt meat - Disturbing, but No. The cooking process, no matter how many spices you put the stench cannot be hidden. Maybe when you cook, the spices might overtake the smell, but once cooled down it will bring out the smell. So rest assured, you will be able to identify at once, when its served.
• Dishes are fatty and have excess oil - Some dishes are, so they do not constitute your everyday diet. They only are cooked on very specific occasion. 
• Too salty - Technically not. Salt adds flavor to the dishes, you can add it as required. Too much salt will kill the flavor, but very little will have no flavor. Getting it to that right scale will take practice. 

Throughout this blog; I am dedicated to help you cook the dish in its absolute purity ! Please feel free to share it around ! 

Vanakkam !
