Sorry (not sorrry) Christmas post ..

YAY!!! 🎄 It’s game on… our first Christmas orders are in! :-) I’m so happy, I’ve been doing a little dance around the kitchen counter! 💃😂

No pressure, lovelies, but the bags are limited, so if you fancy one, don’t leave it too late! ❤️

In other news, I have next week off (doctor’s orders!) and then I’m off to INDIA! 🇮🇳 A yoga retreat in Rishikesh in the north, followed by a trip to Gujarat to see my dad. Whoop whoop! ❤️

BUT… it does mean no cooking from me for FOUR WEEKS! 😱 Whoops, sorry!

The good news is I’ve built up nearly 300 curries in the freezer, and Tim will be here keeping the stocks topped up while I’m away. 🙌 I’m hoping there’ll be plenty to keep you going, but I apologise in advance if some of your favourite dishes sell out.

I’m still here for the next 7 days, though, so you’ll still find me helping you in the porch! 😊

A little Christmas reminder 🎄

The website will be open for CHRISTMAS ORDERS ONLY while I’m away. The Christmas menu is on the main page, so just scroll down towards the bottom to find it.

Our lovely Hayley will be confirming the desserts next week, so watch this space! 😋❤️. Please give hayley a follow there are big things coming in the pipeline for her tag Below .

In the meantime, here’s a little picture of me testing the lamb from Kilmington’s very own … OMG! The flavour was incredible! 🤤 I honestly can’t wait to turn this beautiful lamb into a dish for you on 18th December.

Have a fabulous weekend, everyone, and thank you, as always, for supporting my little business. It means the world to me. ❤️

Ciao for now, lovelies! 🇮🇳😘

Drumroll if you will please 🙏

Rainy days have got me creating - in my minds eye this is divine :what do you think ? Introducing my first cut 2026 christmas menu -

What is for sure is the date - 18th December ! So save the date :-) .

Also , what do you think ? Anything else you’d like to see or is it too out of comfort zone (I kept the ruby chicken for those that like their silky safe space ! It’s definitely not boring though - oh no it isn’t , because it’s my creation !)

🎄✨ A MINA’S TWIST ON THE CHRISTMAS FEAST ✨🎄

An indulgent celebration of Indian flavours, fragrant spices and beautiful seasonal cooking. This Christmas, I’m pulling out all the stops! ❤️

I’m bringing together some of my favourite Indian dishes, a little festive indulgence and, of course, plenty of flavour!

🌟 TO BEGIN

Papdi Chaat

Mina’s melt-in-the-mouth cumin, sesame and ajwain-seed wheat papdi, layered with chickpeas, juicy pomegranate seeds, cooling yoghurt, fresh mint and tangy tamarind chutney, finished with crunchy gram-flour noodles.

Sweet, tangy, creamy and crunchy, with layer upon layer of flavour. A real flavour explosion, and you’re going to LOVE this one!

🍛 THE MAIN FEAST

Choose from:

❤️ Ruby Chicken
A rich, vibrant chicken curry with warming Indian spices and a beautifully deep ruby-red sauce. Back by popular demand!

🐑 Slow-Cooked Lamb Raan
Locally reared Kilmington lamb from Lilac Kitchen Larder — a true zero-mile celebration of our local produce! Slow-cooked until beautifully tender in a fragrant yoghurt marinade and aromatic Indian spices, then pulled and served with Mina’s rich onion, tomato, chilli and ginger gravy.

💚 Paneer Chamak Challo (Medium)
Paneer sandwiched with vibrant green chutney and nuts, cooked in a rich, creamy cashew and masala sauce.

🥥 Vegetable Thoran (Medium-Hot)
Finely sliced seasonal vegetables, gently fried with mustard seeds and homemade spices, finished with freshly shredded coconut. A fragrant South Indian-inspired dish.

🌶️ Chicken Pathia (Hot)
A delicious sweet-and-sour chicken curry with tamarind, mango chutney and warming spices, bringing together sweetness, tang and a lovely kick of heat.

🍚 TO ACCOMPANY

Fragrant basmati rice, plus your choice of:

💛 Gujarati Chana Dal
OR
🔥 Gunpowder Potatoes

🍰 DESSERT — TO BE ANNOUNCED!

I’m so excited about this menu. It’s all about beautiful ingredients, bold Indian flavours and a Christmas feast with a little Mina magic thrown in! ❤️

Good morning, wonderful people ❤️

Long post warning — get yourself a cup of tea!

I’m one week post-unplanned surgery. 😂 It was an emergency, so it had to be done, but the good news is that I’m recovering really, really well. There’s nothing serious now that it’s done, and I’m very glad to see the back of that week.

Thank you for all the love, and for all the beautiful flowers my lovely friends have sent. You really are beautiful souls, and I can absolutely feel the healing. ❤️

And everybody else, please don’t worry — it’s business as usual! You know this chica never gets knocked down too easily!

I’ve taken this week off, but I’ll be back cooking for you next week. The freezer is fully stocked with everything you could possibly want for now, so keep buying!

And because it’s nearly Christmas… 🎄 Oh yes, it is!

I’m already planning my Christmas menu, and if you’d like to get your hands on one, it should be going onto my website next week or the week after. I’ll make an announcement as soon as it’s ready.

Of course, I can’t completely switch off, so I’ve also been testing and designing different recipes. You know how much I love making Christmas special. ❤️

I’m trying really hard to keep the whole thing around £30–£35 a head — and that includes starters, a main course, sides and trimmings. I mean, does that even make it £5 a dish?! 😂 It’s nonsense with my overheads, but I do love a Christmas giveaway!

I’m also hoping to have a guest dessert maker joining me again this year, who I’d love you to support too — but I need to ask them first! 😂

And don’t forget the vouchers! 🎁

My courses are pretty much sold out until February, but do have a look at www.MinasCookerySchool.com.

You can book somebody onto a sourdough course, which I think is a rather lovely present. Or, if you really, really love them, a one-to-one curry course with me! 😂 Or even a one-to-two, if you fancy coming along with them.

For one-to-ones and one-to-twos, just email me at [email protected]

Big love

Hey everyone! 👋All the curries I’ve cooked today are now ready — and look at this… HOT chillies in a korma! 🌶️Really? Oh...

Hey everyone! 👋

All the curries I’ve cooked today are now ready — and look at this… HOT chillies in a korma! 🌶️

Really? Oh yes, really! 😂

A lovely customer, Louise, requested this a couple of weeks ago and I have to say, it’s actually really, really nice. Fragrant, creamy and definitely HOT! So if you like your chillies and you like plenty of fragrance, this might be worth a try.

You’ll find it on the HOT shelves and I’ve put HOT in red on the label so you don’t accidentally pick it up instead of the normal korma!

So thank you, Louise, for the suggestion. It’s there for everyone to enjoy. ❤️

And that’s me done for today! Everything is slowly in the freezers, of course, and I’m now off for a very well-earned rest And recouperation !

Happy weekend everyone! 🥰

Hello lovely people ❤️
* don’t forget I can’t read messenger on this page .
Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet on here this week. It’s been a bit of a funny one, with a few unexpected things thrown my way, but with the help of some very lovely friends and family I’ve managed to get myself back into the kitchen!

So tomorrow I’ll be making a small selection of all your favourite curries, ready after lunchtime 😊

And the lovely Hayley at Delish has been busy making her gorgeous bhatura breads for you too. We do like to spoil you… 😉

The freezer is also full, so there’s plenty there if you fancy stocking up.

Thank you so much for all your support, it really does mean a lot to me. And a massive thank you to the friends and family who have kept me going this week and helped me get these curries out for all my lovely customers ❤️

Right, better get cooking!

Have a lovely weekend ❤️
