Feta is one of my favourite cheeses and I love the combination of fruit & feta in salad (like this watermelon salad). Another combination that works really well is green apple and feta. It is one of the freshest, brightest salads I’ve had in years!
I love citrus flavours. As fruits by themselves, in dressings, as juice and especially in dessert. My lemon loaves are a favourite with family & friends, but I’m always looking for new ways to bring citrus into desserts. This mosambi (sweet lime) loaf is very close to my heart because it uses my all time favourite citrus fruit 🙂
I used to think that eggplants should only be cooked as dry recipes (no gravy) since they are slightly ‘slimy’ (for lack of a better word) in themselves. But as I discovered more kinda of food and tried new recipes, I realized there are many ways to have eggplant apart from what I knew and one of them is actually in a curry. Thai curries use eggplants and so does this lovely bengali curry. It is very easy to make and makes me feel even more connected to my bengali roots as I discover more recipes from the region.
One of the staples of South indian cuisine is a good coconut chutney. No matter where you are in the country (or the world), coconut chutney is always available at a place that serves south indian food. Growing up, I always had the classic version but as I tried new restaurants, ate at friends’ houses, traveled to new cities, I realized there were many ways to jazz this simple chutney up. One such being this recipe, amping up the flavour with the addition of curry leaves!
You all know my love for cookies by now. Especially the choco chip ones. The chewy, crisp edged, melty chocolate ones 🤩 I have quite a few cookie recipes on the blog, and am always looking for new ones to try. These tahini choco chip ones are definitely up there on my list of new favourite cookies!
