A light, delicous and fun way to eat beetroot, for

A light, delicous and fun way to eat beetroot, for me, is in a salad. Roasting beets concentrates their natural sweetness, making them succulent with a slight bite. Contrast them with the crunchy, nutty fattiness of toasted walnuts and pumpkin see. Then douse them in a generous drizzle of sweet and sour balsamic vinegar and mustard dressing and finally, sprinkle, creamy clouds of salty feta over. Et voila! You have a nutrient-dense, yummy, punchy dish. Eat it on its own, as a side dish or a snack atop a toasted tortilla. I guarantee you'll love it.

The recipe (hardly a recipe, just a putting-together actually), is now on my site

At the end of a long day, I like nothing better than to take my time to enjoy my meal. And if the meal is this Thai Tofu Vegetable Soup, even better, because I would've spent very little time preparing it. That itsy bitsy bit of effort would result in a deeply satisfying soup packed with health and flavour.
Simple and easy as it is, made with everyday ingredients - almost any vegetables from the fridge, ginger and garlic, chilli sauce, tofu snd coconut milk - it tastes as if I'd spent some serious time cooking it. Perfect for working weekday lunches and dinners, this sweet-salty-sour tofu and vegetable soup is forgiving and flexible. Add any vegetable or protein of your choice and it'll be as good. You can't go wrong. To try it, check out the recipe, now live on my website www.quichentell.com

An intense, gnawing craving for bread led me to ba

An intense, gnawing craving for bread led me to bake this beautiful red Sourdough Pull-Apart Bread. A little Sourdough discard can make such a delicious difference in flavour. What would've been a regular buttery bread turned into something complex with a kiss of tang and fermented fragrance. I roasted beetroot and garlic and whizzed them up with cinnamon, fennel seeds, dollops of creamy ricotta and salty feta to make the filling. The rich, salty interior worked as the perfect compliment to the sourdough, and the pop of colour made it doubly tempting. This bread is light, cottony soft; something you can gently break with your fingers and eat. This bread is ideal for a communal meal with friends and family gathered around a table. The recipe can easily be doubld to feed a crowd, perhaps as part of a grazing table. I promise you will have no leftovers.

The recipe is now on my website www.quichentell.com

I have been looking for a pan like this one my entire life. Made some pepper chicken for dinner and my Stahl Blacksmith Hybrid cast iron pan was perfect for this (let me add that this is not a paid promotion). The chicken browed beautifully with just a little oil and the heat distribution cooked the dish exactly how I wanted. It's extremely low maintenance, needs no seasoning and is lighter than regular cast iron. I use it for stir frying, sauteeing, making eggs and much more. It has become my favorite pan to use. So just wanted to share my delight wit fellow cooks and give a shoutout to @stahl_india or making such a superb product.

Buttery and flaky with a tangy twist, my Sourdough

Buttery and flaky with a tangy twist, my Sourdough Quiche Crust made me a very happy woman. I'd been meaning to make a sourdough quiche/pie crust for while; don't know why I didn't. And now I feel my next few pies and quiches will only be made this way.

Also, to those of you with jars of pecious sourdough discard in your fridge, let me recommend this crust as one more way of using up your stash. I threw in some almond meal in the mix of flour and sourdough discard, to add a nutty bite. And it worked!

The filling is lamb and roasted red peppers. But there's a twist here too. Instead of milk / cream, the custard (if you can call it that in this case), has eggs and Greek yoghurt. Happily, lamb and yoghurt are a match made in culinary heaven. I hope you try this recipe. If you do, do post your comments / suggestions on the blog. You can find a link to my website on my bio.

This year, I wished myself Happy Birthday with my Cherry Ricotta Cake. It is light with a delicate crumb, dotted with fresh, juicy cherries and crunchy walnuts, not overly sweet and best of all, not covered in multicoloured frosting and sugary confections. Prepped and baked in 60 minutes, this cake was just what I wanted. I ate it as dessert. I ate it for breakfast and I nibbled on it when I needed a snack. Simple and homemade with seasonal fruit, I recommend this cake to everyone who wants a feathery kiss of sweetness and lightness in cake. The recipe is on my blog www.quichentell.com now.

I think meat on a stick has a primal appeal. It probably echoes the discovery of fire and the realisation that meat cooked over tasted delicious. The heat melted the fat, releasing hitherto unknown flavours and the charred bits tasted of smokey sweetness. And then with evolution, every region and culture fashioned their own, unique ways of cooking meat over, in or under fire.

These simple and aromatic Vietnamese-style Lemongrass Chicken Skewers grilled in the oven or on charcoal is an nod to that primal 'aha' moment. Lemongrass infuses these chicken thighs with a citrusy earthyness that wakes up the palate and olfactory glands, making the mouth water. Marinating the chicken overnight intensifies the flavours and I completely recommend it. I ate these with a hot and sour raw mango relish. You can gind both recipes on my website

My latest blog post is Mango Kesar Kulfi. I'm sure you have your own special kulfi recipes and I'm sure they're very good too. I'm just sharing mine, which is a silky mix of cream and full fat milk reduced till slightly thickened, infused with crushed cardsmom seeds and a smidgen of saffron threads, then sweetened with fruity mango pulp and chilled into bright orange-yellow batons. A bite of this kulfi on a hot summwr day is all the desressing I need. I think you I'll like it. It's so simple and quick, that I recommend making a large batch to stash in your freezer so that you can raid at will.

Everyday ingredients can be elevated to turn out d

Everyday ingredients can be elevated to turn out delicious dishes. This Black-Eyed Pea ( Lobia) Salad is a good example. The humble lobia gets some crunchy, fresh companions and a tongue tickling, dressing in this nutritious salad. It's also a pretty good looking salad with lots of colour and contrasting textures to engage all your senses. The black-eyed peas are creamy, the yellow pepper is sweet, the carrots and red cabbage are cunchy and the hit of salty feta brings them alll together in a delicious, garlicky salad. The recipe can be found on my blog.

New blog post!

Have you tried bamboo shoot? I've eaten it bot fresh and fermented in Naga-style salads and pork curry and in pickles from Kodagu and the North East. Although fresh bamboo shoot is not sold by our local vegetable shops, it is easy to buy it online. Cans of fresh bamboo shoots in water and even fermented bamboo shoot are both freely available.

This Bamboo Shoot Mutton Curry is a simple way of using this fibre and nutrient-dense vegetable. Vegetarians can leave out the meat and the curry will be as delicious. It has a somewhat thin base of fresh coconut and a few curry spices like coriander and cumin. It is a light curry, not heavily spiced although I have been generous with the curry leaves. I liked the results of my first bamboo shoot curry. I hope you do too.

The recipe is now on my website www.quichentell.com

The salad train chugs on. And the next stop is a delightfully crunchy, Easy Carrot Salad with Tofu. The recipe is a riff on the som tam - The classic Thai green papaya salad. I've added a protein element with umami-laden tofu, which makes this dish a comple meal in itself.

The unrelenting heat has created a craving for light, cool and simple food. This salad ticks all those boxes and can be quickly put together. In keeping with Thai flavours, the salad has a balance of sweet, salty and dour flavours with the fatty, smoky crunch of roasted peanuts.

You can find the recipe on my website www.quichentell.com

Cold. Sweet. Delicious. These happy Mango Yogurt Popsicles are exactly what I want to eat in this scorching hot weather. They're intensely mangoey, with the tang of yogurt and lightly creamy, so biting into them doesn't give you a brain freeze. Super easy to make, they're great to have in your freezer in numbers so you can grab one when you're feel like a cold treat.

Here's a simple Grilled Chicken and Mango Salad that makes a great lunch on a hot, sweltering, summer day. I marinated my chicken thighs in yoghurt and a few spices andgrilled them in he oven. Then I diced and tossed them with ripe, firm mangoes, a few toasted cashews for some crunch, piquant jalapeños for a a touch of heat and a cooling, creamy yoghurt dressing. On the side I had some chilled wedges of crisp iceberg lettuce. The picture doesn't do the salad justice, I think. I took the photos in a hurry because I couldn't wait to eat! But I promise, you'll relish this delicious sweet and spicy salad.

Planning no fuss, weeknight dinners are sometimes

Planning no fuss, weeknight dinners are sometimes challenging. You want healthy, easy, quick but delicious meals. Now, I love the slightly funky, savoury flavours of miso - both red and white ( and I wish more varieties were easily accessible here in India).

This simple dish of pan-fried Miso Chicken is literally cooked in 8 minutes flat. Two chicken breasts are sliced horizontally and marinated in a salty - sweet, umami- laden marinade of shiromiso (white miso), honey, ginger, rice wine vinegar and a dollop of butter. The chicken bathed in this unguent, is then pan fried to perfection - caramellucious brown on top and juicy inside. The taste is deceptively deep fir a dish that requires so little in terms of ingredients, effort and time. I'm sharing this simple yet scrumptious dish on my blog www.quichentell.com

Simple chicken meatballs can be juicy, fluffy and soft just like meatballs made with lamb or pork. This recipe for Creamy Chicken Meatball proves that. Nestled a light, creamy sauce that's a little tangy with a hint of chilli, the meatballs themselves are savoury with garlic, cheese and oregano. This dish is perfect for week night dinners after a long day. It needs little effort and hits the spot to comfort and satiate. To get the recipe, go to my website www.quichentell.com
