Lajina Masala

Not much "curry" going on today, a day in London with our "special" one.
Hope you've had a good day!

This week's class.... You know who you are!
Thought I crammed too much in the pan. I'm making an aubergine, sweet potato, usual potato, spinach, pepper and pea curry.
I confess, too much in the pan, but I won't splash the cooker or struggle to stir.
... It's a little love, lots of patience and a gentle stir so I don't turn my veg to mush.
I'm also making a daal and chapaties before I go bhangra dancing.
If I can do it, you can do it... way better than me, honestly you can!

... Please get in touch if you'd like to join me for the 2nd of July, with your favourite dishes.
Thankyou, Lajina x

This week's team build class.
They were amazing, really fab team who made a delicious, healthy meal to share.
It's been an incredible week, I've just sat down after prepping for tomorrow's chef Show in Thimble Mill Library Birmingham at 7pm.

The best thing, I went to a yoga class tonight and our yoga teacher, Gill is an expert in her field. I feel totally relaxed and ready for the busy days ahead, you must try it!

Too cold and wet!

I made aloo gobhi with protein packed peas for my lunch. Really fancied it after teaching this.
... No squashed cauli or mash potatoes in my curry. Simple, delicious warming, 5aday.

I hear there's a football game tomorrow night when I'll be part of the Chef Show.
Here's why The Chef show at Qatt and Lajina Masala will be so much better.

It all started 11 days ago with an evening demo, another two demoes at Frestival, a workshop at Little Wenlock, an Indian afternoon tea for a corporate client and yesterday, my first one ever, a wedding! I actually cooked for a wedding!
Wishing the newly weds a lifetime of good health and happiness.
... It's been a tiring few days but we did it with my loyal husband and equally loyal team (You know who you are).
Big, big thankyou to my amazing clients for the trust in me and an even bigger thankyou to my team and the fabulous team being the scenes who support my business.
I'm very much in business and if I can support you to make a perfect curry, or to spice up your team building event or to impress your clients, or create your personalised spicy package, then please get in touch.
Have a great Bank Holiday, Love, Lajina x

Afternoon tea with a little spicy magic.
Chilli cheese scones, clotted cream and homemade spicy chilli jam. A little home made love and it's totally gorgeous.
Because I love sweet scones, I make s carrot and cumin version, too.
... Really good, although the jam should come with a warning, it's really, spicy, yep, really spicy but so, so good!
