As a child,I used to love to pretend to be Darina Allen,talking to my pretend camera and making treats like crushed corn flake cakes! My love for cooking has grown with me through the years and it's gotten to a point where I'd love to learn how to cook professionally and perhaps embark on an exciting career in the food business. I attended a sushi demo in Ballymaloe recently,and I wished with all my might that I could be one of the f/t students.I feel I have the talent,I just need the training!!

I came up with this recipe when I was trying to think of something different to accompany scallops to what I I’d normally cook them with,so I thought why not try something Indian! The dhal is flavoured primarily with turmeric and cayenne pepper, so be warned it certainly packs a punch. To balance the heat from the spicy dhal, I’ve created a cool minty yogurt dressing as an accompaniment. The scallops are pan fried for 90 seconds a side, get the pan real hot to have that tasty carmelisation.
