The take it easy chef
Slow-cooked chicken shredded to flavourful slivers, layered with crunchy lettuce and fresh tomatoes, and topped with a creamy mushroom puree and a load of caramelised onions – All of this in a toasted burger bun!
This pan-fried masala sea bass is a great balance of flavours. It’s served on a tomato-chilli paste, and garnished with fried shallots and coriander leaves.
Long before it came to be recognised as a “super food”, my grandparents’ generation knew about the benefits of moringa (drumstick) tree. In this recipe, we’ll make a moringa leaves stir-fry, or thoran, just the way my granma used to make it. Mustard seeds, shallots, curry leaves, and crushed dry chillies tempered in oil, and stir fried with another super food – (grated) coconut!
Bibimbap or bi bim bap means mixed rice. It consists of a variety of sauteed, seasoned veg and meat served on a bed of rice, topped with a fried egg, and accompanied by some hot chilli pepper sauce (gochujang). It’s delicious!
Ground meat seasoned with some great spices and onions, molded around skewers and slow cooked, that’s seekh kebab on a skewer for you.
This is probably the easiest seekh kebab recipe that you’ll come across. I have tailored it for home cooking.
Naadan mulakkita meen curry – This unique style of preparation involves slow cooking with pot tamarind (kudampuli), and keeping it aside for 4-5 hours to infuse the flavours. Sourness of the tamarind, and the mild heat from the chilli powder forms the character of this fish curry.
This mutton (lamb) recipe, slow-cooked in authentic Kerala style is mildly hot, and spicy, and has many great ingredients that God’s own country has to offer – great spices, coconut milk, and the signature coconut oil.
This recipe is from one of the most aromatic and spiciest cuisines of India – Chettinad! Chettinad cuisine, from the Chettinad region of the South Indian state Tamil Nadu, is known for it’s distinctly aromatic and spicy style. It has a lot of flavours going on, so finding the perfect blend of spices is the key.
Modak is an ultimate festive treat. Rice flour dumplings filled with a jaggery and grated coconut filling, and cooked over steam, this is a great Indian dessert you can fall in love with!
Everything about this desi delicacy is celebratory. This restaurant style paneer butter masala is pure, divine Indian food at its best!
