A little Delhi is coming to Blewbury. ✨

I’ve been looking forward to sharing this: Tikka & Tadka is bringing monthly supper clubs to The Blueberry Pub!

We’re starting on 24th October with An Evening in Delhi—three courses of North Indian favourites, a drink from the bar and an excuse to get your favourite people around a table.

We’ll begin with samosa chaat: crisp, tangy, sweet and just a little messy. Then butter chicken, aloo gobi and dal tadka, with basmati rice and naan for scooping up every last bit.

And yes, leave room for the gulab jamun cheesecake. That part is important. 😉

Vegetarian? I’ll be making paneer butter masala in place of the chicken—just select it when booking.

📍 The Blueberry Pub, Blewbury
📅 Saturday 24 October
🕔 Dinner service 5–9pm
🍽 Three courses · £32.50 per person
Drinks purchased separately.

Book your table at www.tikkaandtadka.com. Please let me know about any allergies or dietary requirements before booking.

This is the first of five dates, with a different menu to look forward to each month. I’d love to see you at the first one!

Pretty food has a very busy backstage.

For Priya and Dan’s two-day celebration, every part of service had its own rhythm: chaat bowls assembled in batches, canapés finished just before leaving the kitchen, rice plated hot and the buffet kept moving.

The cooking matters, of course.

But at a wedding, timing is an ingredient too.

Some flavours don’t just remind you of a place. They take you straight back there.

For me, jhalmuri is Kolkata.

I still think of standing by a street-side stall watching the muriwala work at full speed — puffed rice, onion, peanuts, chillies, spices, mustard oil and lime all going into that metal tin, a few furious shakes, and then suddenly it’s in your hands in a paper cone.

That first mouthful: spicy, tangy, mustardy, crunchy… and somehow completely Kolkata.

So when I decided to apply to the KETTLE® Khoo Academy again this year, I knew I wanted my flavour to tell a little bit more of my own story.

Kolkata Jhalmuri KETTLE® Chips. 🌶️🥔

I left Kolkata many years ago, but my love for its food has never left me. And although I’m Bengali, one of the things I love most about cooking is discovering and celebrating the incredible regional flavours from all across India.

Six years ago I started Tikka and Tadka from my home kitchen, completely from scratch. Today it has grown into weddings, supper clubs, private events and so much more — but the reason I started is still the same: I want people to discover Indian food beyond the familiar.

Being a runner-up in the Academy before meant a lot to me. This year I’m giving it another go with a flavour that feels even closer to home.

A little bit of Kolkata, one very crunchy chip at a time. ❤️

I don’t think this one needs a long caption.

Just Nadine and Gareth, still in their wedding clothes and in the middle of celebrating, giving the food a “10 out of 10”.

Saturday was a beautiful village hall wedding—personal, joyful and filled with very well-fed guests.

Thank you both for choosing Tikka & Tadka, and for making my whole team smile with this. ❤️

A little first for Tikka & Tadka… ❤️

After six years of cooking for weddings, setting up buffets, plating hundreds of canapés and generally spending most wedding days somewhere behind the scenes, I’m finally going to my first Wedding Fair! 😄

And it feels rather lovely that it’s at Worton Hall — a venue where we’ve already had the pleasure of catering a beautiful wedding.

So on 17th September, I’ll be swapping the kitchen for a stand (although obviously there will still be food involved 😂).

If you’re planning your wedding, come and say hello, have a little taste of what we do and chat to me about the food you’d really like to eat on your wedding day — whether that’s a big Indian feast, canapés and street food, a completely vegan menu, or something created especially for you.

And if a wedding is on the horizon for you, book your tickets for the fair and come and find us — I’d love to hear what you’re planning. ❤️Ticket links in the bio

A taco at an Indian wedding? Absolutely.

These chicken tikka tacos were served during Priya and Dan’s wedding celebrations—crisp shells, spiced chicken, chutney, fresh toppings and plenty of colour.

I love creating wedding menus that stay true to Indian flavours without insisting they must always arrive in the expected form.

Would these make it onto your canapé menu?Let us know in the comments.
