Who doesn't love a Butter Chicken Curry?! It's a universal crowd pleaser but I've found that at-home recipes don't quite live up to the flavour you get from a restaurant. After many attempts and tweaks, I am finally happy to share my recipe that I think delivers on flavour but with every shortcut in the book. For me, the key to a really tasty Butter Chicken is the pre-cooking of the chicken, getting all those black, charred edges. They give the curry so much flavour and a beautiful smokiness that you would get from a tandoor. My method of cooking on a BBQ mimics this flavour and gets it really close to restaurant quality. Of course to make up for this extra step, I've pulled back on the tomatoes, opting for a jar of passata instead of using fresh diced tomatoes and blending them. It's up to you but I will take a shortcut wherever I can get it. Also if you make your own tandoori paste and garam masala mix, please use it, but I just use bought and don't regret it! #noregrets “This recipe makes a huge batch for a family (3 x family serves) and it freezes fantastically so I will often freeze the remaining 2 portions and save them for lazy nights when I just want to microwave something. I figure, if you're making a curry, it may as well be a big one!” Easy Butter Chicken an original recipe by Kimberley Kells Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 30 minutes Serves: 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children x 3 night's serves 4 Tablespoons of Tandoori Paste (I just buy it to save on time) 200g Greek Yoghurt 2kg Chicken Thigh 1 Large Onion, chopped 6 Cloves of Garlic, chopped 2 Thumb sized pieces of Ginger, grated 700g Tomato Passata 2 Teaspoons of Paprika 2 Tablespoons of Garam Masala 2 Teaspoons of Cumin 2 Teaspoons of Ground Coriander 2 Teaspoons of Fenugreek (available from Indian Grocers or the 'Herbies' wall of the deli/fresh food grocer) 10 Cardamom Pods, cracked 300ml Thickened Cream Drizzle of Honey Step 1- Combine the tandoori paste and Greek yoghurt in a large bowl with the chicken thigh and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Step 2- On a screaming hot BBQ, grill the marinated chicken thighs until cooked through and blackened on the edges. These black bits are full of flavour and will give the end curry a lovely smokey flavour. Chop into bite sized pieces and set aside. Step 3- In a large pot or wok, saute the onion, garlic and ginger in oil with a generous spoonful of butter until soft. Step 4- Add in all the spices and stir through the oil so they toast. Step 5- Pour in the tomato passata, cream, and chopped chicken (including the resting juices) and stir to combine. Step 6- Season to taste with a generous amount of salt and a drizzle of honey. This curry is better the longer it sits, so it will taste even better the next day! Serve with rice, naan and pickles.

These Air Fryer Spring Rolls are more Vietnamese in style with a pork and prawn filling as opposed to the Chinese style which has a lot of cabbage. They make a great starter to a meal and can be fried in a pot of oil on the stove, or in the air fryer! The results in the air fryer are not quite as crispy as traditionally fried, but they are pretty bloody close! Not all spring rolls are created equal, and even though each Asian country seems to do their own version, I think that the Vietnamese style are the best. For me, its the combination of meat and seafood with the full flavored fish sauce that really brings them to life and when you have a really good one, it makes those sad vegetarian versions that are seemingly all cabbage taste like disappointment. My version here is obviously not authentic, I am using Chinese style wrappers, where in Vietnam they would use rice paper, and I'm cooking them in the Air Fryer, which admittedly don't taste as good as deep fried but they are healthier and easier and perfect for people who are scared to deep fry at home. I've included instructions for both air frying and deep frying so you can choose your own adventure. I prefer the taste of deep frying, but if I've got kids running around and its a Tuesday night, you know I'm pulling out that air fryer. “If you're making these for a dinner party, or as a starter for a BBQ, which I often do, you can prepare the filling in the morning or day before and roll a couple hours before you're ready to (air) fry. The rolling is a great activity to do with kids or even your guests if you want to get them involved, and they always disappear quickly so make sure you do a big batch!” Air Fryer Spring Rolls an original recipe by Kimberley Kells Preparation time: 30 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Serves: 8 people as a starter/nibbles 50g of Glass Noodles (also known as cellophane noodles, or mung bean noodles, from the Asian grocer) 30g Black Fungus (also known as wood ear mushrooms, in the dried mushroom aisle of the Asian grocer) 500g Minced Pork 200g Raw Prawn Meat, chopped 1 Carrot, grated 2 Eschallots, finely chopped 3 Cloves of Garlic, finely chopped 1/4 Cup of Fish Sauce 1/4 Cup of Caster Sugar 1 Teaspoon of White Pepper 2 Packs of Spring Roll Wrappers, defrosted 1 Egg, beaten Step 1- Boil the kettle, and pour over the glass noodles and black fungus, in separate bowls to soak for 10 minutes. Step 2- Drain the noodles, and using scissors, snip roughly into smaller pieces. Drain the black fungus and chop finely. Step 3- In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked and snipped noodles, soaked and chopped black fungus, pork mince, prawn meat, carrot, eschallots, garlic, fish sauce, caster sugar and white pepper. Step 4- Place one spring roll wrapper on a board so it is in a diamond shape facing you, and in the bottom corner, place one teaspoon of the spring roll filling. Shape filling into a log at the corner. Step 5- Start tightly rolling away from you, up towards the top. When you get half way up, fold in the sides to overlap in the middle. Continue rolling until you have reached the top corner. Brush with beaten egg to seal. Place on a lined tray until you are ready to cook. Repeat until all the filling is used. Step 6- If using the Air Fryer: Place a single layer of spring rolls in the basket, and lightly brush or spray with vegetable oil. Cook at 200c for 15 minutes, turning halfway through. If deep frying: Heat a large pot of vegetable oil (I like rice bran oil) over medium/high heat. Test if the oil is ready by gently laying a spring roll in the oil. If it immediately bubbles, its ready to fry. Fry in batches, making sure to rotate and remove when cooked. Drain on paper towel. Step 7- Serve with a nuoc mam or sweet chilli dipping sauce.

Duck Ragu with pasta is something I always order when I see it on a menu. It's not really a dish most people would consider cooking at home because it seems hard but once I had a go of it myself, I found it really is so easy and simple to do. A little bit of time and love is all it takes to enjoy a luscious, flavoursome duck ragu made from scratch. A slow cooked ragu with pasta is so comforting to me especially in the cooler months, but really, I wouldn't say no to it any time of year! #pastaforever #ragulife All the finely chopped vegetables in this recipe are great to sneak some goodness into kids (and adults) diets, and if your knife skills aren't quite up to scratch, a super fast shortcut would be to throw everything through the grating attachment in the food processer. Once it cooks down, it will all just be part of the sauce and the kiddos will be none the wiser. If the 2hr cooking time is putting you off, a slow cooker will do all the work for you. Just throw everything in at the start of the day and come home to a beautiful ragu where all you have left to do is shred the meat and boil some pasta. The flavour isn't quite the same without all the browning and sautéing but it's still pretty bloody good. Any pasta will work with this, so use what you have, or I usually let my kids have their choice of the pasta aisle. I find getting them involved- even with just the shopping- makes them much more likely to eat and enjoy my cooking. “Duck marylands can be hard to find sometimes and unfortunately, you can't substitute duck breasts which are much more readily available. I've found that Harris Farm supermarkets have a steady supply, as well as most butchers. If you can't manage to get your hands on some, chicken marylands will do the job, or lamb shanks would be wonderful.” Duck Ragu an original recipe by Kimberley Kells Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 2 hours Serves: 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children 4 Duck Marylands 1 Onion, finely chopped 1 Carrot, finely chopped 1 Stalk of Celery, finely chopped 2 Cloves of Garlic, finely chopped 1 Sprig of Rosemary, finely chopped 6 Stalks of Thyme, whole 3 Strips of Orange Rind (use a vegetable peeler) 1 Small Pinch of Saffron 400g Tin of Crushed Tomatoes 1 Litre of Chicken Stock 500g Pasta (any) Step 1- Season the duck with salt and pepper, then in a wide pot or deep frying pan, place the duck skin side down and turn on the heat to medium/high without any oil. The fat will render out of the duck and allow it to fry, browning the skin. Remove and set aside. Step 2- In that same pot, sauté using the rendered duck fat: onion, carrot, celery, garlic, rosemary, thyme, orange rind, saffron until soft. Step 3- Add the duck back into the pot, add in crushed tomatoes and pour the stock over, until covered. Step 4- Cover with a lid and simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until the meat is falling off the bone. Step 5- Remove the thyme stalks and orange peel and discard. Carefully remove the duck and shred, discarding the bones. Add the meat back into the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Step 6- Simmer the sauce and duck all together and reduce until its thickened slightly. The texture should be like a thick soup. Meanwhile, boil your chosen pasta until al dente in heavily salted water. Step 7- Combine the pasta and a cup of pasta water with the ragu and serve with parmesan cheese and chilli oil (if you're feeling spicy).
