Shrikhand

A thick creamy yogurt with different flavors and sweetness can taste so so good as a dessert or a side dish to go with hot pooris or chapatis. I remember as kids whenever mom used to get shrikhand, I would have the entire dabba and get a good scolding for over-dosing on sugar 🤭🤭🤭. Well who doesn't love shrikhand!!

Shrikhands have been a part of my food and dessert memories since childhood. I made this simple delicious version to re-live my childhood memories and have a bit of nostalgia. I added some crushed almonds and pistachios to make it a bit fancy 😊😊. So try this out, show some love and spread the love. ❤️❤️❤️
SERVES: 4
 PREP TIME: 10 mins
COOK TIME: 15 mins
  • ½ liter full fat milk
  • 1 spoon thick curd
  • muslin cloth
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ tsp cardamon powder
  • 5 crushed almonds
  • 4 crushed pistachios

1. Make curd: Boil the milk in a vessel. Once boiled keep it aside and let it cool down. Once cooled, whisk the curd in a small bowl and add it to the milk and mix it well. Keep it outside in a warm place for 7-8 hrs. Pour the curd in a muslin cloth. Hold the cloth together and squeeze out the whey from the curd. Tie the cloth tightly and let it hang for couple of hours till all the whey is out. 

2. Make shrikhand: Transfer the hung curd in a bowl and soften it with the help of a spoon. Now, add powdered sugar, cardamon power, almonds and pistachios and mix it well till the sugar is mixed properly and you get a nice thick creamy consistency. Drizzle some crushed almond and pistachios and enjoy!

Egg Dosa Hummus Wrap

Dosa is a staple breakfast in every South-Indian household. There are many ways to make dosa and you can add a lot of different fillings in it. Personally, I love a nice crisp dosa with some masala inside and a nice tangy coconut chutney to go on the side. These flavours are just the perfect combo. A few days ago I made some hummus and there was some still left over and this is what you get when a south Indian makes hummus; a fusion with their staple breakfast. I made this healthy wrap loaded with some delicious mix of veggies and some South Indian spices.

Mackerel Curry

I recently discovered this recipe on my usual inspiration hunt online and decided to give it a try. During my grocery run at the city centre before, I decided to have a look at the fresh fish store and got some amazing looking mackerel filets. I had not decided on the recipe at that moment, but then I happened to have everything at home for this recipe and things simply fell into place. Normally I am into masaledar, spicy and coconutty fish curries but this time I did not have any coconut milk at home and I was also feeling a bit lazy with my cooking. This recipe was an absolute delight for my mood with an amazing tangy, sour flavour of tamarind and vinegar and a slight sweetness of jaggery. Quick and simple! Totally worth it and definitely recommended.  Press Enter and insert Image https://www.instagram.com/p/CI276lADeR5/   ...

Puttu with Kadala Curry

Puttu is a staple breakfast dish in south India popular in the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. "Puttu" means portioned in Malayalam. It is a very filling and hearty breakfast dish made with rice flour mixed with salt water and typically steamed in a puttu steamer with coconut shavings in between. Sometimes a bit of jaggery powder is also added to make it a bit sweet. My husband loves to eat puttu with elaichi bananas or other small bananas; mixing it with the puttu. I came across this dish after I got married into a Malayali household and got exposed to a lot of Kerala recipes and dishes. My mother-in-law makes really amazing puttu and Kadala curry. So, after I moved here to the Netherlands I wanted to give this a try. I didn't have a puttu steamer, so I asked my mother-in-law and she gave me the idea to steam it inside a coconut shell which is also a popular traditional method of cooking. It was totally worth all the effort and to be honest it was really ...

Overnight Oats Bowl with Fruits

This is a super simple and super delicious breakfast idea. It's the best breakfast when you are in a rush and have no time to make your meal. You can prepare everything you need for this on the previous day. For me, this is also an amazing source of pre-workout calories because I'm always hungry right before my workouts. It can also be a really amazing desert if you like puddings. I always prepare this the night before and keep it in the fridge so that I can enjoy a nice chilled oats pudding in the morning. I don't add any sweeter, just raisins and fruits and let their natural sweetness leech into the pudding. For some crunch I also sprinkle some nuts and seeds. ...

Glühwein / Mulled wine

Glühwein or mulled wine is a German/Austrian holiday drink that most people have during the winter season. This   alcoholic beverage is a must-have during the festive season here. Interestingly, this wine is also known as glow wine as it is warm and when you drink it, it makes you glow from the inside. It's a warm & cozy wine infused with spices and citrusy flavours which is perfect for the cold and freezing winter weather. I stumbled upon this wine during my first Christmas in the Netherlands last year (2019). They were lighting the Christmas tree at the city center and the streets were crowded and lined by food carts selling delicious Christmas treats, desserts and warm  Glühwein. This year however, we are under a strict lockdown due to the ongoing pandemic and with everything shutdown we couldn't experience the beautiful Christmassy vibe outdoors. So, I decided to bring the Christmas vibe indoors and made my own batch of this cozy, warm drink. So, here you ...
