Today has been a horrible day, I had to drop Victoria to the hospital as her baby is on his way. As a mother my stomach flipped and turned and I felt sick and cried most of the way home from the hospital, I hate leaving her alone at her most vulnerable. COVID means only 1 person can accompany her. I feel so scared and worried for her.

I needed a distraction and something quick and relatively simple to cook since I very much doubt that I will be very good at concentrating. Having tried the Clare Smyth chilli chicken I thought it would be nice to compare with the Dishoom chilli chicken - especially since so many people on the cookbook club rave about Dishoom.  So I tried this and although it was nice, it was absolutely no comparison at all to Clare's dish but I am really glad I tried it.
