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 Tadka
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.
Tahini Brownies
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!
Easy Almond Cake
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 🙂
Jhal Muri (Spicy puffed rice)
Bringing some more of my Bengali food favourites to you 🙂
Jhal Muri translates to Spicy puffed rice. Delicious spicy puffed rice! This is a street food classic from Bengal and is a lovely snack to munch on at any time of day or night. Believe me!
