This really blew my mind. I don’t know why I haven’t tried to make my own before. We used to buy garam masala from the supermarket, the smell and taste is unbelievable. I didn’t realise what it is supposed to smell like until now as the one we were buying had a very light smell…

Five Spice Duck Breast with a Tamarind Sauce Recipe
This is one of my favourite asian dishes. Duck breast and five spice work so well together but it has to have a crispy skin. We were having rice with dinner so I thought a sauce would be nice and I found a similar recipe on the gressingham website, it tasted really yummy. It is…
