I’m not a fan of overly sweet things and most caramel tends to be just that. However when done right, salted caramel is pure liquid gold! It is luscious, smooth, decadent and perfectly balanced.
Matar Ghugni (Spiced peas)
Do you have any childhood stories of time spent in the kitchen? I have tons! Whether it was helping people, tasting food or just watching – I spent a fair bit of time wandering in an out of the kitchen.
My sister and I did one thing a LOT! Peeling (and eating) fresh peas. We would happily plonk ourselves down with a big bowl of peas and peel them for whatever dish was being cooked that day. I must say, we ended up having to peel a lot more than was needed because we ate at least a third of what we peeled! Fresh, sweet peas are amazing 😍
This dish is a super easy way to use peas and was a staple in our house (and in many bihari households).
Dhania Chicken (Coriander Chicken Curry)
Most chicken curries are standard fare in terms of how they look, while they can differ widely in how they taste. Sometimes you need to refresh not just what you eat, but also what you see. Enter scene : Dhania (coriander) chicken curry!
Banana Espresso Loaf
Sometimes flavour inspirations come in the most random, yet obvious, ways. Take this Banana Espresso loaf for example.
Margarita Cupcakes
What’s better than a regular cupcake? A boozy cupcake!
When my friend, V, gifted me a bottle of Indian Tequila, it promptly made me want to use it in a dessert. For me, Tequila = Margarita (I don’t do shots 😊) , so a margarita cupcake seemed like the most obvious choice.
