Yes, you read that right. Beetroot brownies! And they are amazing!
Fig & Honey Loaf
I first ate figs sometime in my twenties, as part of a salad at some hotel brunch. Yeah, quite late in the day, I know 🙂 Till then I had only seem them used on international cooking shows like Top Chef, MasterChef and so on. I liked that it was sweet yet not overly so and had seen how versatile an ingredient it could be. However, I somehow never got around to buying them to cook or bake with, till last year. I decided to give it a whirl, and obviously started with a simple dessert. This fig & honey loaf just amps up a regular vanilla loaf and is worth adding to your repertoire.
Whole wheat choco-chip muffins
We all love a good chocolate chip muffin, right? Tall, fluffy, soft on the inside, loaded with melty chocolate. What’s not to love? I say take that and switch it to whole wheat and add honey instead of sugar! Becomes a wee bit healthier, still as delicious and you can love it even more!
Podi Aloo
I’m back with more potato recipes! This one is quick, easy and something I’ve discovered over the past five years or so.
I had initially known podi as the powder that is mixed with ghee/sesame oil and had with idlis and dosas. Then I realised, it is such a great flavour and texture bundle, that you can add it to so many more things to drive more deliciousness. Case in point : potatoes!
Bourbon Apple Crumble
Apple pie is high on my to-bake list but I’m still battling my fear of dough (yes, I know it’s been a while, I’ll get there). So when we got a lot apples from farmers in Uttarakhand, I decided to get the pie feels without making the pie. Enter : Apple Crumble. Perfect for the rainy Bangalore weather, made even better with a splash of Bourbon 🙂
