Spiced Halibut with Red Lentil Spinach Dahl, Mint Coriander Chutney & Crispy Chickpeas

This is one of my favourite recipes I have come up with in a while. The dahl is so moreish, you won’t be able to keep your spoon out of it and the key to getting a real depth of flavour is frying your onions for as long as you can (this is a game changer I promise). The subtle layering of spicing is so tasty and with some cooling yoghurt, zingy green chutney for freshness and the slight sweetness of mango chutney, every mouthful is a flavour sensation. Some crispy spiced chickpeas help add texture and with a lovely piece of marinaded fish on top, this is a recipe I hope you will come back to time and time again.

Indian Roast Chicken with Dal Makhani and Jammy Tomatoes

I haven’t posted a Sunday roast dinner recipe for a while and thought it was time to share a slightly different take on the traditional roast. The marinade on this chicken keeps it so lovely and moist, while the dal is just delicious, full of depth and flavour. This is the type of dish I could just eat and eat and eat. The tomatoes roasted with lemon, garlic and spices adds a burst of sweetness, while naan breads full to the brim of cardamom, spiced coconut and raisins are perfect to mop everything up.

Roasted Spiced Cauliflower and Red Onion Salad with Chickpeas, Lemon Tahini Dressing and Pomegranates

I love a roasted salad and this one has some of my favourite flavour combinations. Salads don’t have to be boring, and this one certainly isn’t. For £1.67 a portion it’s also reasonably priced considering the amount of fresh ingredients. It’s a great Meat Free Monday meal if you’ve had an over indulgent weekend but doesn’t compromise on flavour and texture. It also just happens to be completely vegan.
