Indian Style Fish and Chips - Tesco Real Food Cook Off

Last nights episode of Tesco Real Food Family Cook off saw Kate Watts up against Banita Ludhor.

I thought they both did really well and I loved everything they cooked!

    Before I'd seen the show last night I'd been asked to pick a recipe and cook it! As I'd previously cooked Banita's Spicy Chicken Kebabs, I went for Kate's 'Indian Style Fish and Chips'.

I didn't have a picture to go by but Kate's recipe was really easy to follow and I have to say I will be making it again.  

By the way, the Tandoori butter that goes over the fish is soooo good!

 The twist to this dish is said Kate, there is no batter and no chips!

 As both teams ended up drawing with the same overall score, it was down to celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott to make the final decision.

As a result Banita's team have now gone through to the final which will be shown next Tuesday at 7.30pm on Channel 5 where Banita will be up against Filipa Kay.  Readers of this blog will know I cooked Filipa's Piri Piri Chicken.

I was sorry to see Kate go but well done to both teams - excellent recipes! 

If you'd like to make this dish, pop over to Channel 5 and have a look at Kate's recipe.

Spicy Chicken Kebabs and Cambodian Chicken - Tesco Real Food Cook Off

As part of a team of food bloggers involved with the Tesco Real Food 

I was asked to make two recipes from the Channel 5 show 'Real Food Family Cook Off' shown Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm.

  If you've been following the programe you'll know that this week was the turn of Banita Ludhor to take on Jonny Thomson.

 Banita made Spicy Chicken Kebabs, while Jonny cooked up Cambodian Chicken with Pineapple Fried Rice.

So there I was armed with a huge amount of lovely ingredients and my kitchen looking like food heaven, I cooked one dish one night, and the other the next!

 Banita's Spicy Chicken Kebabs were seriously delicious and had a lovely salad to go with them too:

Then there was Jonny's Cambodian Chicken - a very colourful mix of flavours.
The pineapple rice was really yummy and a meal on it's own!

 Both of these recipes can be found over at Tesco Real Food 'Cook Off'

As this weeks program has already been shown, you will know that Banita has gone through to the next round and sadly Jonny hasn't.  But well done Jonny for getting this far - great stuff!

Tesco Real Food Family Cook Off - Piri Piri Chicken

As part of a team of bloggers involved in the Tesco Real Food Cook Off 

I was asked to make a recipe from last nights Channel 5 show 'Real Food Family Cook Off' shown Tuesdays at 7.30pm

 

 I made Filipas Kay's Piri Piri Chicken with chips and salad - very yummy it was too!
Having no picture to go by and having not seen the program at the time of making this, it was a challenge for me too!  

So, armed with all the ingredients, it was time to get busy in the kitchen.

The Piri Piri chicken was served with chips although I did wedges:
