Good morning, good evening, good night! For those of you new here, I’m Rebecca and this is my humble blog Glutarama. Click on the link if you want to know more about us but the abridged version is; married, kid one (daughter Yay!), kid two (son Yay!), Type 1 Diabetes, then Coeliac Disease, followed by mental health, chucked job, Autism diagnosis! That pretty much sums up the last 10 years of my life – pleased to meet you!
There were 25, TWENTY FIVE, delicious recipes linked up to last weeks brilliantly hosted linky with my lovely friend Midge at Peachicks Bakery. As I saw them being linked I was thinking ‘how can I choose a few to round up for my week of hosting #CookBlogShare’ I wanted to add them all, and to be fair there’s nothing to stop me but as I salivated over the links a pattern was forming and it was also a group of recipes that could be easily adapted to be free from; BINGO! I’d round up an Indian Family Feast.
SPICY VEGETABLE BREAD PARCELS
Priya’s Spicy Vegetable Bread Parcels over at Joshi Cooks are a recipe I’d never heard of and instantly fell in love with, firstly its simple to make and secondly these parcels are not just the perfect side dish to my Indian Family Feast but would make an excellent lunchbox or picnic snack. I’d use a gluten free bread in place of ‘normal’ bread for this recipe, and I’d suggest Tesco or Sainsbury’s own as their breads are denser with less airholes.
EASY PRAWN KORMA
Eb does love her spices over at Easy Peasy Foodie and her Easy Prawn Korma is no exception. Okay, so it’s doesn’t pack a kick on the spice scale, but the infusion of spices stimulates the senses and for this round up to be a family feast there would need to be a kiddie friendly dish, so Eb’s curry if perfect for the job.
Easy Butter Chicken Curry
This next recipe added by Jo at Jo’s Kitchen Larder is her Easy Butter Chicken Curry. I’m intrigued by butter chicken as I’ve never had it before but every time I see it on a menu or on Pinterest I pause before moving on to something more familiar. Since I was hosting this week, I took more time to look through the recipes linked and knew I’d love the dish despite having to tweak it to be dairy free so I could eat it too (yeah, forgot to mention that in the into, I’m a complicated bugger too when it comes to diet!)
Restaurant Style Yogurt Mint Sauce
Geetha at Flavours Treat has answered my prayers with this recipe. I miss this mint sauce so much and now I have the recipe I can adapt it so I can eat it again. Let’s face it, no Indian Family Feast is complete without poppadoms – LOTS of poppadoms and dips are compulsory, I love the lime pickle and the red onion sides but no meal is complete without proper Restaurant Style Yogurt Mint Sauce.
I hope you love the idea of these recipes as much as I do, believe me I will be making them and treating us to a free from friendly Indian Family Feast very soon and I’ll be sure to report back to each cook featured how we got on, I can’t wait.
OVER TO THE #COOKBLOGSHARE LINKY

So many wonderful recipes. That Easy Butter Chicken has my mouth watering.
Great round up, all the curries look so good! I just linked up my new recipe, which also happens to be gluten free. Thank you for hosting, have a nice weekend!
Wonderful Monika, you have a lovely weekend too.
Wow, what a brilliant round up! I love Indian food and it’s making me crave some so bad! Thanks for hosting this week :-)
Aw thank you Nickki and lovely to have you drop in xxx
Thanks for hosting! Great round up
Thank you Patrick, and thanks for popping by.
Thanks for hosting, Rebecca! I adore Indian food. These all look just wonderful! I ate butter chicken in a restaurant not three days ago and resolved to make it at home, so this is very timely indeed!
Don’t you just love it when the universe works like that? Glad I was able to prompt you and thank you so much for dropping by Michelle
Fab hosting Rebecca and it’s really nice to see #CookBlogShare making rounds amongst so many lovely foodie bloggers :) I’m super chuffed that my humble butter chicken curry caught your eye and made it to this delicious round up too, thank you lovely. x
No thank YOU for inspiring me, got all the ingredients, making it for dinner this week. And thank you for your lovely comments, I thrilled my week has gone down so well xx
Chocolate Chip Cookies: Again, this recipe could just swap the flour to be gluten free, there is no liquid other than egg but you may need to add either milk or water (by the 1/2tsp to make a manageable dough)
15 Blackberry Recipes: lots of simple swaps for ingredients here to make gluten free. If you have a particular recipe you’d like to try and need to adapt (GF, DF, Ve) email or comment here and I’ll advise you.
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies: to make gluten free I’d swap flour for gluten free self raising and add a little more liquid (1/2tsp at a time until you achieve the right consistency).
It’s so lovely to see you hosting #CookBlogShare Rebecca and what a great theme for it too – I love that you’ve shared how each recipe can be adjusted to make them free-from too – fab!

Thank you Angela, I felt the pressure to do a good job in such awesome company but it came together seamlessly and everyone’s been so lovely with their comments.
Yay! So lovely to have you hosting CookBlogShare!! I am so loving seeing CBS on it’s travels. Although Kirsty leaving was sad, it’s made way for a whole new chapter of CBS, which is just awesome!! I think it’s going to make our wonderful little CBS community even better :-) And gorgeous roundup – so up my street! Thanks so much for featuring my prawn korma. Eb x
Your most welcome Eb and thank you so much for having me, I’ve enjoyed writing this post up x
Wow love the round up. You are so right choosing a few from many fabulous links is the hardest part of hosting so it is fab when a theme comes together. and what a fabulous one this is. Thank you so much for hosting this week. X
Thank you Jacqui, it jumped out at me as I clicked through each fab recipe. Thank you so much for your notes and support, this has been a lovely post to do xx
YUM!!!! Cracking round up Chicky! LOVE an Indian in this house! You’ve inspired me to make hubby & me a cheeky fakeaway night Friday while the kids are away!! Xxx
Thank you darling, you were a hard act to follow, I’m thinking of doing the same this Friday too :-)
I love Indian food and these recipes all look gorgeous! I’d love to eat them all!
