A pot of red, spicy stew with chunks of meat and whole green peppers, being stirred with a pink spoon. Steam rises from the hot, simmering dish.

I have devised this recipe specifically for my BBC Oxford followers. Will the weatherman wanted advice about getting the spicing right and a reasonably easy curry that doesn't disappoint on flavour. I have kept the ingredient list limited to the…

Roast Chicken, Mushroom & Herby Pasta
