    Coffee Almond Thins

    Coffee Almond Thins / www.quichentell.com

    This almond thins recipe is a result of my need to nibble. Often around 5 in the evening or mid morning I feel like a smallish snack, more to satisfy my mouth rather than my stomach. At such times, these slender and chewy, a little sweet, slightly salty, coffee almond thins hit the spot. A hit of coffee Chewing on these thins is like sipping black coffee…well almost. The coffee…

Living in temporary digs and cooking in a tiny kit Living in temporary digs and cooking in a tiny kitchen are not going to cramp my cooking. Tossed up some vegetable lo mein with fried eggs for dinner last night and it so hit the spot. Quickly made with little fuss, it was lightly sauced with dark soy, shaoxing rice wine and a tiny drizzle of toasted sesame oil. These are the foods I crave on warm summer evenings.

Neither macaroons, nor macarons and definitely not Neither macaroons, nor macarons and definitely not meringues, these coffee-flavoured, chewy discs  can best be described as Coffee Amond Thins. But then, they're not crisp like thins are either. What's in a name anyway? These cookies for grownups are intense with coffee, with just the right amount of sweet and a whisper of salt. They're light and quite addictive I must warn you. If you like the warm depth of a dark coffee, try these. The link to my blog is in my profile. You'll find the recipe there.

Carrot thogiyal from the Iyer kitchens of Palakkad Carrot thogiyal from the Iyer kitchens of Palakkad, is a new addition to my chutney / pachadi game. The colours pop and the flavour is pure southern comfort for me. Sweetness from the carrot and coconut, nutty notes from the chana and urad dals, heat from dried red chillies and a mild hit of acid from tamarind, give the thogayal a full-bodied deliciousness. Hing and curry leaves, true to recipes from South India give off mouth-watering aromas. Normally eaten with plain rice and molagootal, but I'm going to enjoy it with idlis, dosas, vadas, pongal and even upma. Recipe now on the blog

I turn to baked chickpea cakes when I want somethi I turn to baked chickpea cakes when I want something light, healthy and delicious. Easy appetiser, fuss-free dinner with a salad on the side, squidged between bread for a filling work lunch, easy to carry on a picnic....these cakes can be whatever you want them to be. Spiced with whole coriander and cumin seeds, and made tastier with garlic, onion, chillies, carrots and coriander, these are bold, bright and delicious in an earthy sort of way. Make a big batch, bake some, freeze the rest. Bake them or fry them when you need a meal in a jiffy.

One of the things that makes a great pulao or a bi One of the things that makes a great pulao or a biryani is when the flavour of the meat permeates each and every grain of rice. This is why I love yakhni pulaos. This mutton yakhni pulao looks plain nut the richness and umami of the stock or yakhni is the gold that infuses the rice and potatoes (even my house) with the intense aroma of mutton and whole spices.

Nothing makes me happier than when I cook or eat a Nothing makes me happier than when I cook or eat a dish that's yummy AND healthy. Baking and biting into these sorghum muffins gave me that happiness - a quiet satisfaction. Plain Janes to look at they may be, but inside they smell smell of vanilla-sweet bananas and feel soft and springy on your tongue. But before you're lulled by their deliciousness, you may encounter a walnut or two to surprise you. An easy, breakfast bake, these eggless muffins are a feel-goid way to start your day. Recipe link in my bio.

Coconuts, bright, red chillies, garlic, tamarind a Coconuts, bright, red chillies, garlic, tamarind and warm spices - this Konkani chicken curry has everything that I love about the cuisine of the Konkan coast. The meat and chicken sukkas of this region are much celebrated in restaurants and in this dish, I've tried to recreate those flavours. This is a thick curry, where a warm, darkly fragrant sauce envelopes the chicken to infuse it with its bold and heady notes. The Bydagi chilli is the star of this dish, imbueing it with its intense colour and mild heat. You can find the recipe on the blog www.quichentell.com

Jumbo or tiger prawns are best eaten grilled. Punj Jumbo or tiger prawns are best eaten grilled. Punjabi-style tandoori prawns aka tandoori jhinga is a classic. People are wary of Indian spices and masalas overpowering the succulent sweetness of seafood. Just try these tandoori prawns and you'll see how the spices in fact complement seafood. There's a hint of carom seeds (ajwain), the mellow warmth of cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and mace and a dash of garlic and ginger, all swathed in a silky yoghurt and cream marinade. This forms a light, savoury patina over the sweet and juicy morsels of prawns. Quick and easy, tandoori prawns are a crowd pleaser. Find the recipe on the blog www.quichentell.com

Whole wheat cheddar rolls are just out of the oven Whole wheat cheddar rolls are just out of the oven and the warm, cosy smell of fresh bread fills my house. Nothing quite as satisfying as baking one's own bread. Looking forward to a new year of baking joy.

A dark chocolate bourbon cake with a white chocola A dark chocolate bourbon cake with a white chocolate peppermint ganache for my 19-yr old birthday boy.

This fish pulao is as simple as it is fingerlickin This fish pulao is as simple as it is fingerlicking delicious. It's a complete one-pot-meal that I cook often when we're in the mood for something a little special that doesn't demand too much time and effort. All the pulao needs is fresh fish (surmai or seer fish in this case), a few whole and ground spices and some fresh onion, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, curry leaves and fragrant basmati rice. I prefer sea fish but freshwater fish would also work well...especially hilsa or ilish.

A leaner shepherd's pie for Sunday lunch. Since we A leaner shepherd's pie for Sunday lunch. Since we're watchig our heart health at home, I made a somewhat skinny version of my family's favourite dish. Used ramekins instead of one big baking dish to limit portion size, and  swapped olive oil for butter in tbe mashed potaoes. Even managed to add enough body to 500g of minced meat with sweet carrots and onions. And as for the cheese, sprinkled only a scant tablespoon on top at the end. Got oodles of flavour. Didn't miss the extra calories at all. Think I'm going to follow this method for all future shepherd's pies.

Tried to make somewhat healthy cookies with jowar Tried to make somewhat healthy cookies with jowar or sorghum flour, a little sunflower oil in place of butter, no egg and a generous dash of lemon zest and juice. Turned out well I thought. These were crispy on the outside although not flaky like a butter cookie, and they had a nice , satisfying chewy interior. The hit of lemon was punchy which is what I wanted. They made a sweet but not sinful treat with my evening tea.

Guava pickle is not common on the Indian table but Guava pickle is not common on the Indian table but the idea piqued my curiosity. So I used quintessentially South Indian flavours to stir up a quick guava pickle. Curry leaves, garlic, hot green chillies and of course, guavas make up the fresh ingredients. Dry spices like ground methi(fenugreek seed), hing(asafoetida), chilli powder and ground black mustard seeds add aroma and heat. A dash of jaggery adds a sweet touch and a splash of ACV rounds off the flaours with merest hint of acid. All in all, a simple dish that one can throw together in 20 minutes to add something punchy to the menu. Great with parathas and brilliant with curd rice.

I'm a little obsessed with apples at the moment. W I'm a little obsessed with apples at the moment. What can I say except that maybe I enjoy eating apples more in pies, cakes, crumbles, strudles (you get the idea) etc, more than  biting into the raw fruit. So I tried baking a cake that's a riff on the classic crumble. It's a tender butter cake with succulet chunks of stewed apple hiding inside and it's topped off with a buttery, caramelly walnut streusel. It's great for tea time and better still for breakfast.

I love apple pie. This is my attempt at making an I love apple pie. This is my attempt at making an apple pie eith a whole wheat and oatmeal crust. An experiment that met with a measure of success. Melissa Clark's @bravetart genius tips and tricks on creating whole wheat pie crusts worked like magic with this crust as well. Whole grain pastry can never be as flaky as plain flour pastry but the apple pie still hit the spot with its buttery crust and juicy filling. Ate a big slice for breakfast in total silence, enjoying a connection ...just my pie and I. The recipe is now on my blog www.quichentell.com
