Dishoom Recipe Book Review

June 2, 2020

There seems to be a new recipe book published every day at the moment as we all turn ourselves into culinary wizards, or not, depending on your dedication to the kitchen.

Dutch Curry?

Stewed vegetables with a spicy taste.

This spicy fish and cucumber salad is a Southeast Asian dish with a contrast of different flavours including sweet, sour, spicy and savory all mixed together.  This salad is made from plain white fish which is used as the base of the recipe and strips of cucumber are thrown in for a sweet and cool crunch.  You can add as many chillies as you like to give the dish a spicy edge.
