This is such a great recipe. The thing I love most about it is how simple it is. All you need to do is buy some ready-made puff pastry, split a few bananas in half and get something magical happening in the oven!

Omelettes are tasty and super-quick to knock together.

I love this dish. If you’re a fan of chicken tikka masala, give this one a go. You might think it odd to use robust spice pastes on fish, but it’s very common in southern India. When buying your fish, ask the fishmonger to scale it for you.

This works best with rice that has completely chilled down or, better yet, been made earlier and kept in the fridge. But if you can’t prepare rice for this dish in advance, you can still cook it and pop it into the fridge while you’re cooking the rest.

This dish makes use of a tender, juicy Asian cabbage called bok choi, which is simple to cook and really tasty. You should be able to find bok choi in your supermarket but if not, then a nice litte gem lettuce or a handful or two of baby spinach works.

Chopped salads are incredibly simple to make – you have to give them a go. If nothing else, they can offer you some chopping practice, so why not make something tasty while you’re practising your knife skills?
