Be an Indian chef for a night!

fish curry

This is a really delicious fish curry we recently enjoyed at our favourite Indian restaurant Spice ‘n Ice at Port Adelaide.  Namit Mangal, the owner and one of the talented chefs, makes this amazing curry.  It’s a mild curry and the flavours are to die for.  So, if you thought you could never create restaurant  quality Indian food at home without slaving for hours in the kitchen, you’re wrong.  You’ll have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes!

Miss 16 becomes Miss 17 & celebrates at Spice ‘n Ice

entre selection

I don’t know about you and your family, but my family love Indian food.  That might be because we are an Anglo-Indian family though!  Our favourite Indian restaurant is Spice ‘n Ice in Port Adelaide.  It is owned and run by Namit Mangal, who also cooks!  The real question is what is it that Namit doesn’t do: he’s amazing!  We first ran into Namit when he used to run Maya Indian restaurant just off Gouger Street.  When he left we followed him to Urban Indian on Henley Beach Road.  Then, Namit left to  open his own busines…a brilliant idea.  My only complaint is he chose Port Adelaide in which to open his business.  Port Adelaide is too far for us to drive for our weekly Indian fix and since our lives have become increasingly busier we don’t get to go as often as we’d like.  Tonight, we celebrated Miss 16′s 17th birthday at Spice ‘n Ice and as always it was worth the drive to Port Adelaide.  Clockwise from left our entre’s were, vegetable samosa, prawn kawali, onion pakora and chicken tikka.  They were all delicious; as usual.

Pasta anyone?

Whatever Easter means to you; have a good one….our Good Friday dinner consisted of pasta and prawns in tomato and basil sauce. There were two choices of pasta: plain or capsicum egg pasta that i made fresh today along with the sauce. It was a dinner to remember. Yum!
