I have taken the short cut method to prepare Doodh Peda using condensed milk and milk powder. The traditional version of Doodh Peda is labor intensive but has a flavor and texture that is creamy and absolutely melt-in-the-mouth. You can look forward to the traditional Pala Kova aka Doodh Peda recipe in a couple of weeks. I accidentally added more than required milk powder hence the cracked look of the pedas....

It’s the chocolate dough recipe I’ve been making for years and even included it in my cookbook stuffed with peanut butter cups. There’s no reason to stray from this basic chocolate dough! Included in my cookbooks and used all over my website, this cookie dough is my go-to base for chocolate cookies. There’s a reason I work with this dough often: it’s because it WORKS and it’s pointless to stray from a tested, dependable recipe....

Breakfast casserole is an all-in-one hearty meal that can be made ahead of time, feeds a crowd, reheats well, and makes great leftovers. My family devours it. For all these reasons and more, I’ve made it nearly 100x (no exaggeration there) for breakfast, brunch, and, yes, dinner. It’s one of my favorite Easter brunch recipes to serve each year, too. I originally published this recipe in 2015 and have simplified it over the years....

Pasta is limited on the shelves at the moment, but certain types and flour, and for the most part eggs, seem to be available. That’s all you need to make homemade pasta. It also happens to be really delicious pasta that feels like a gourmet treat. If you haven’t got a pasta machine, don’t worry, you don’t need one! A rolling pin is all you really need. However, if you have a food mixer, that’s helpful too....

Homemade soft pretzels are nothing new around here because this recipe has been a reader favorite for years. The dough requires just 6 ingredients and there’s hardly any rise time, so not only are these easy, they’re pretty quick too. In fact, I remember feeling pleasantly surprised at the ease and speed the first time I made them—it took us only 30 minutes to make 1 batch! Over the years, I’ve added a smidge of melted butter to the dough for improved flavor....

Why the heck is this my first falafel recipe on the blog? I make falafel (falafel? falafels? I don’t know the plural) all the time! I think I’ve made various falafel recipes for other pieces of freelance work, so I just presumed I had one somewhere on the blog. But nope. Truly sorry I’ve let you down. So I’m remedying the situation with this falafel salad bowl from my new Seriously Good Salads book (I’ve also shared my Salmon Sushi Bowl and Chimichurri Steak Salad from the book if you want to check them out)....

These Fried Pickles are such an amazing, crunchy, tangy little nibble! And dipped into some garlic mayo, I could eat a whole batch of these in one sitting! They perfectly satisfy that pickle craving, and only take 20 minutes to whip up! Sounds too good to be true I know. 😆 Self-Raising Flour – If you haven’t got self-raising flour, replace it with the same amount of plain (all-purpose) flour PLUS 1 tsp of baking powder (you’ll also still need to add the additional ½ tsp baking powder to the batter)....

This recipe comes after a couple of trials to achieve that restaurant style ‘Gobi Manchurian’. In fusion cooking there are no rules to follow. You will find assertive notes of spice and tang, a generous dose of garlic, green chilli, ginger and garnished with lots of spring onions and coriander leaves – in other words, simply flavorful! It does take some time to prepare but its worth the effort. 1 Heat oil for deep frying in a heavy bottomed vessel....

Currently I’m trying not to feel guilty that I haven’t posted in 12 days! I usually try to post a recipe a couple of times a week, but last week was just not one of those weeks. We filmed 9 videos and did a few photo shoots too. One top of that, Lewis had a choir performance in Manchester, Gracey was in a musical performance all week, we had various deliveries of new kitchen appliances, old appliances taken out, boxes EVERYWHERE (and still there now), 2 lots of installation engineers, and Chris had his foot rested up and iced for a couple of days (he couldn’t drive all week, so I was ferrying everyone around, whilst he spent a lot of the time hobbling)....

Sometimes you can’t decide between two things. Flip flops or high heels? Shoulder bag or clutch? Mashed potatoes or baked potatoes? Ketchup or no ketchup? (Um, always ketchup, especially when we’re talking aboout baked onion rings.) Let me take the thinking out of some things for you today. You can have TWO frostings in one. And it’s so easy to do. You’ll impress everyone with your frosting skills! What You Need for Swirled Frosting Two very thick frostings Piping Bag (Reusable or Disposable) A Wilton 2D Closed Star or 1M Open Star piping tip (I use the 1M, more on that below....

Hello dear readers! I am back with the third and final part of the article on Mangalorean cuisine for the Indian Food trail series. Today I will take you on a culinary journey into Mangalorean Catholic cuisine in particular. As I had mentioned in the first part of the Mangalorean Food series, Mangalorean cuisine is a blend of local flavours from each community. Mangalorean Catholics have their roots in Goa and are descendants of Goan Catholics who migrated from Goa between 1560-1763 due to the Goa Inquisition, the Portuguese – Adil Shahi wars and the Portuguese – Maratha wars (read more) and hence our culture is a blend of Goan & Mangalorean cultures....

I first tasted Jigarthanda as a college student during a trip to Madurai. One of the best tasting summer drink which has its origins in Madurai. This unique flavored milk based drink, introduced by the Mughals who settled down South, was given the name Jigarthanda. Popular as jil jil jigarthanda, this drink has made its way to many restaurants and drink parlours around Tamil Nadu. The ingredients that go into the making of the jigarthanda drink recipe have a cooling effect on the system and is a close cousin of falooda drink which has varied textures and flavors....
