How To Make Rick Stein’s Butter Chicken
View recipe: How To Make Rick Stein’s Butter ChickenYou simply can’t get this dish’s depth of flavours using a store bought Butter Chicken paste or simmer sauce. The result is the most succulent chicken in a creamy, nutty, tomato based sauce.

PK’s Moroccan Chickpea Stew With Lamb And Flatbread
View recipe: PK’s Moroccan Chickpea Stew With Lamb And FlatbreadThe inspiration for this North African style stew came from browsing Wikipedia for North African dishes.

I am already drooling 🙂 Note: I use corned beef and…
