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!
I love a good Gin and Tonic. Any day of week 🙂 Over the years I’ve discovered and tried many lovely flavours that pair beautifully with gin (like watermelon, orange, rosemary, coconut…it’s a long list). One ingredient that has been my go-to add on to a G&T and key to many a great gin cocktail, is cucumber. This is my easy version of a cucumber and gin cocktail 🙂
This cake is one of the first ‘different’ cakes I learned to bake, once I restarted baking, around 7 years ago. Growing up, I mostly baked simple vanilla or chocolate cakes, nothing else. When I started living by myself, 7 years back, I got a tiny oven and rediscovered my love for baking 🙂 I started exploring more recipes and flavours and this became one of my go-to cakes. Easy, delicious, fragrant and just the right amount of fruit. What’s not to love?
Just by its name, it sounds worth trying, right? 🙂
My initial exposure to middle eastern food was hummus and pita, then tzatziki and falafel. That was it for many years. Then I slowly started discovering the meats, wraps, couscous, babaganoush and other gorgeous food. The love has just been growing since!
Babaganoush not only sounds delightful but tastes amazing as well. A great dip to have with your mezze platter.
