Mango & Sweet Coconut Risotto

 

When Mangy and I dine out, we often visit a little Thai restaurant near home and we always order their Mango & Sticky Rice for dessert. Always.

Pan roasted crushed baby potatoes

This is one of our favourite potato dishes. The perfect combination of crunchy and fluffy potatoes. You don’t need an oven and it comes together pretty easily. 

Orange & Almond Cake

This recipe is dairy free, gluten free and chocolate free. But don’t be fooled into thinking it’s good for you.

Falafels

I am snob when it comes to falafels. I refuse to eat a bad falafel, even out of politeness. I just won’t touch it beyond the first bite. Unfortunately, I’ve yet to find good falafels here in Singapore. The texture is never quite right. A little too pasty, a little too dense.

Almond Hummus

This is a nice twist on regular hummus. Using almonds instead of chickpeas give the hummus a nice luxurious feel. The almonds do take a bit of prep work, but it’s so worth it. 

Mango & Almond Salad

My dad was in India recently and was invited to stay with a friend at his mango plantation.

Fennel, Orange & Grapefruit Salad

This is the perfect summer salad. So refreshing and just bursting with goodness. Serve it cold with grilled fish or chicken and it’ll make you feel like you’re on a Mediterranean holiday!

Spicy Cornflakes Mixture

We make this so often at home that I can’t believe I’ve never blogged about it. Everytime we sit down to watch an Indian movie, we’ll have a bowl of cornflake mixture sitting in between us. Homemade mixture is so much better than store bought, you can add all your favourite things and omit the stuff you don’t like. Also it’s surprisingly quick to prepare.

Masala Pav

Since my last Pav Bhaji post, I must confess to having pigged out on ‘real’ Pav Bhaji many times in India now. I am officially an addict and can’t get enough of this spicy potato mash-up.

Idli

I’ve never had much luck in getting idli batter to ferment, but last night I gave it another shot! I think I know why I got it wrong all these years, I simply didn’t add enough water (silly me!). I did a little research yesterday and came across a blog on idli making and troubles that particular blogger had. She said adding more water to the batter worked for her, so I thought I didn’t have much to lose, and it worked!
