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

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

Happy Holi to you all 🏵! This year my platter of Holi treats includes buttery, crumbly and fragrant Thandai Shortbread. I always make extra thandai masala (because I love it so much) and some of it found its way into these deliciously decadent cookies. And I threw in a handful of pistachios for some crunch.These will keep even after Holi is done and you can enjoy them at leisure ( as I plan to) with your cup of coffee, one, buttery bite at a time. Serve it to family and friends and they make excellent little gifts as well.

Soup season continues in Delhi with the chill extending into February. Dinners at my place ends up being a 1-bowl meal sitting by the heater ( my dining area is too cold for me). I try to make that one bowl as nutritious, delicious and warming as I can. Making use of the in-season turnips ( not everyone's favorite), pearl barley and tiny amount of lamb, I made this filling, healthy and umami-packed soup. It certainly made us feel cosy and cared-for. I've shared this recipe on the blog www.quichentell.com
Hope you try it 😊

Delhi is beautiful today, with the sun out and a light breeze blowing. Woke up to a bright, sunny day and just felt that I had to get out. The flowers are blooming everywhere and the birds are active, energised by the warmth. God is indeed,in the small things.

In a pinch and out of veggies? Make Onion & Potato

In a pinch and out of veggies? Make Onion & Potato Soup from basic pantry and store cupboard ingredients.

You'll need:
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
4 medium onions, sliced
2 fat cloves of garlic, finely minced or grated
500ml chicken or vegetable stock (from a bouillon cube will do too)
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried or fresh parsely
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce( optional)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan or any hard cheese ( for garnish)
1 tbsp olive oil

1. Heat the oil in a pot or deep saucepan on low flame and toss in the onions.

2. Sprinkle a little salt and sauté till caramelised (this will take 15-20 mins, so be patient), then add the garlic and sauté further till everything is a rich brown in colour.

3. Add the herbs (except the parsely), and potatoes and a little stock. Cover and cook till the potatoes are completely tender.

4. Pour in the remaining stick and puree till you have a velvety smooth liquid.

5. Heat gently, add the Worcestershire, cook for a minute and switch off. Add freshly ground pepper and serve sprinkled with parsely and grated cheese.
