Brownies are amazing desserts. Quick to make, super tasty, texturally divine and impossible to eat just one of. Agree?
Brownies, by virtue of name, are usually made with chocolate. Sometimes you aren’t in the mood for that intense chocolate-y flavour (like these brownies). It is rare, but happens. For those occasions, blondies are best! No cocoa powder in the batter, but numerous ways to amp them up by adding other things. Like chocolate chunks!
If there is one iconic Indian chutney/dip, it is this (and variations of this)! The hari chutney (green chutney) that goes with everything! With kebabs, chaat, chips, sandwiches, a meal. You name it, this spicy flavour bomb makes everything better!
Dal Chawal (Lentils with Rice) has got to be one of the most comforting, nostalgia-inducing meals for Indians. It is such a staple in every house, in almost every meal. There are many dals out there, made in various ways and each household has their go-to version of this happiness giving combo.
In our house, it was arhar (aka toor/split pigeon peas) dal. Made pretty much everyday. To date, this is my go-to comfort food. The simplicity, the flavour, the wholesomeness – unparalleled.
Who doesn’t love a good brownie? Thick, dense, fudgy, chocolatey – all the good things! What if it was also kinda healthy? 😀 Wouldn’t you jump at that?
Well, these Tahini brownies are just that! Super delicious, pretty healthy and so brownie-y (is that a word?)! BEST!
Almonds are my favourite! They have this amazing nuttiness and aroma about them that make them suitable across cuisines and courses. You can use almonds in salads, in chicken dishes, have them as is, salt them, roast them etc etc. But my favourite way – almonds in dessert! Candied, pulsed, as garnish, in cookies – all such great ways to incorporate this healthy, delicious ingredient!
This cake recipe is a super easy way to bring almond to desserts. It is a simple sponge, with some almonds thrown in. Pretty much 🙂
