Are you looking for some dinner inspiration? Adam Liaw knows what it's like and he's so good at planning night after night of cooking fun.

Here are some quick and easy dinners with plenty to feed the hungry!

Meatless Mondays (never tasted this good)

Aloo matar is a vegetarian North Indian curry featuring potatoes and peas cooked in spiced tomato gravy. This uses the cooking technique, tadka, where spices or aromatics are bloomed in hot ghee or oil to create a fragrant infusion, elevating its flavour and aroma.

Treat yourself Thursdays

Treat yourself to some comfort, with this twist on meatballs and spaghetti - garlic meatballs with bucatini! For best results, seek out beef chuck and brisket mince for a more concentrated beef meatball flavour.

This herb and spice karaage blends the best of both worlds by drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese karaage and the globally renowned Southern Kentucky fried chicken.
