Cracking Curries is the website which shows you how to make simple and authentic Pakistani food at home. And when we say simple, we really mean it. Most of our recipes use fewer than 10 ingredients.
We’re not chefs, we just love our Mum’s food. And we want to pass our passion for it on to you. Follow our recipes or watch and pause our 5 minute videos. Ask questions. We’ll answer them.
We filmed 3 of the recipes for you. They are tried and tested family favourites. Tarka Daal, Fish Curry, Chicken Saag. Most of them are one-pot wonders. All of them are classics.
Let’s get cracking. Just hover on ‘The Recipes’ tab on the left and choose one. Follow the instructions and watch the video.
So what’s for dinner tonight?
Made the ginger chicken, delicious! Dahl (remember to soak lentils first). Good simple recipes, fantastic results.
I spent the first 15 yrs of my career down south and lived in Bradford, London, Northampton, Bradford, Sutton Coldfield, before finally returning “home” to Glasgow. Take Chicken Jalfrezi as an example. The same dish in each of those cities looked completely different. To further complicate matters, things change within particular cities. My early experience of Glasgow curries was of dreadfully sweet and creamy food coloured dishes, but in recent years I’d say things have improved and there are now plenty of subtly flavoured and spiced offerings.
