The Latest and Greatest
Pasta dough from scratch
Easy, Serves 2, Prep time: 20 mins + 30 mins (resting). We tend to think of pasta as something we buy processed. Better pasta is instinctively better brand pasta, something we pay more for. But is making pasta dough worth the effort? Trust me when I say it is. Whether you’re looking to go the…
Raw Mango Prawns Curry
Easy, Serves 4, Prep time: 30 mins. The perfect accompaniment for your next Sunday afternoon saturnalia, this mango prawn curry is fresh, fragrant and flavourful, and is sure to make heads turn, if you’re entertaining guests. Ingredients Prawns*, medium, 250 gm. Raw Mango, medium, 1 no. Shallots (Madras small onions), 7-8 no. Ginger, 1-inch piece…
Whole Wheat Pita Bread
Medium, Makes 3, Prep time: 40 mins + 2 hrs proofing time This Mediterranean staple is an instant evening delight, with dollops of hummus or baba ganoush spread lusciously over. Since Pita features so commonly in so many dishes and settings, I decided to try my hand at a healthier alternative to regular refined flour,…
Manchurian
Easy, Serves 4, Prep time: 30-40 mins. Manchurian balls are a “Chindian” staple and an absolute must-have during quarantine, but the quality of homemade Manchurian often comes up short, relative to its more delectable restaurant-grade cousin. If you, like me, crave restaurant-style Manchurian balls from time-to-time, look no further! Ingredients Cabbage, medium, 1 no. Carrots,…

With a hint of technique and spirited wrist-work (I jest), you can ace…
Kerala Style Fish Fry
Easy, Serves 4, Prep time: 30 mins + 30 mins marination time. This recipe is particularly close to my heart. Once in a blue moon, when my grandmother found the right kind of fish, we would be treated to a traditional Kerala-style fish fry. Simple, wholesome and flavourful, this dish made for an excellent accompaniment…
Meen Mappas
Easy, Serves 4, Prep time: 30 mins. I’ve experienced a strong connect with my roots during this lockdown, and this authentic Kottayam-style ‘Meen Mappas’ was my Saturday-afternoon testament to that. Rich, flavourful and not too spicy, this beautiful fish preparation has been a family favourite for some time. Ingredients Indian Salmon/Rawas fillet*, 750 gm Tomato,…
Japanese Souffle Pancakes
Medium, Serves 2, Prep time: 30-40 mins. The instagram-worthy Japanese souffle pancake is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the belly. Unlike it’s more serious, savoury cousin the Okonomiyaki, the souffle pancake is sweet, airy and a fast-catching cafe favourite in Japan. And its famed fluffiness is all in the…
