Rehana’s Recipes
I have been shopping at Rajah
Foods in Sherwood for years.
I actually remember the shop
opening in 2013 and being
really excited. I love cooking
Asian food and was delighted
that I would no longer have
to travel far to load up on
the ingredients.
Rajah has a butchers at the
back of the shop and a great
selection of fresh fruit and veg,
as well as a mind boggling
array of herbs and spices,
rice and breads and snacks
and nibbles. And if you are
really, really lucky and time it
right you can also buy fresh,
homemade samosas and
pakora. But you have to be
quick. The minute they arrive
they are snapped up.
Apart from the fact that the
produce is really great value
and fantastic quality, buying
local has never been so
important and Rajah now also
offer a delivery service.
Owner and all-round lovely
lady, Rehana was delighted
to share three of her favourite
recipes with us this month.
They are all delicious and
easy to cook and you can
get everything you need from
Rajah Foods. Just a note
about the recipes – Rehana
uses a normal cup as a
measure. I used a small mug
for the lentils and Sarah used
an American cup measure
for the bhajis. As long as you
use the same cup for all parts
of the recipe you won’t go
far wrong.
