Eggplant Roast

This recipe came about one day when I was trying to clear out my fridge. It requires so little effort and time that I’m a bit embarrassed about calling it a recipe!

Drumsticks (Murungakai) and Eggplant Curry

This is my mother-in-law’s recipe. It is a little time consuming to prepare each ingredient, but it comes together pretty fast.

Parmesan Croutons

These croutons are lovely over salad or soup. Really quick to prepare and are very moorish, so make extra!

Asparagus and Green Pea Soup

As ridiculous as this sounds, Mangy and I actually needed a break from all the seafood we’ve been pigging out on. I was lucky to find a small bunch of Asparagus in the local wet market and wanted a recipe that would stretch the Asparagus further.

Fried Okra with Peanuts and Sesame Seeds

I’m totally obsessed with crushed peanuts (it’s a really strange obsession considering I HATE peanuts generally). When I came across this recipe, I went a little crazy with happiness. It has all of my favourite ingredients.

Stuffed Pomfret

This is a nice twist to regular fried fish. Stuffed with spicy masala, it’s a really special dish that doesn’t require too much extra effort. Plus, you won’t need to prepare a curry to go with the rice. This fried fish comes with its own gravy – bonus!

Appam Balik

I am addicted to the combination of crushed peanuts, sugar and a pinch of salt and will happily eat bowlfuls of this for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and any meal in between!).

Ginger Garlic Paste

I use a lot of ginger garlic paste in my curry recipes. I suppose this is common amongst most Indian cooks, what isn’t common though is the recipe for preparing the actual paste.
