The term comfort food seems to cover all manner of sins, and if someone asked me to name a comfort food – I’d probably instinctively reach for something I grew up eating, like aloo posto – a dish sadly inaccessible to us in Singapore due to the lack of that magical ingredient posto (poppy seeds).

I have long wanted to perfect making a fish paturi, because it looks beautiful and sounds delicious, especially the idea of combining mustard seeds with coconut. So I have been researching many recipes to try and figure out how exactly this should be made, and finally today was successful in my attempt. I followed a […]
I want to start by declaring that this is a short-cut method to make this lovely, tangy dish, because it makes use of available or ready-made pickle instead of the slightly more elaborate recipes which involve making a paste with a lot of spices, amchur (dry mango powder), dry chillies, etc This is also not […]
This green chilli pickle recipe is inspired by the Gujarati pickle that is available with packets of thepla (flatbread with fenugreek) back in Mumbai. While mango pickle is still at the top as a favourite, this is a very close second for me in the pickle family. There are quite a few readymade green chilli […]
When it comes to comfort food, nothing beats fresh, piping hot aloo parathas. My mom first taught me how to make these, and after a while, it became my thing to make for Sunday or holiday lunches. This is also possibly my dad’s favourite dish, and if left to him, he might want to have […]
With almost all our meals now being cooked and consumed at home, many of us are looking for inspiration on new dishes, so we don’t get bored of cooking and eating the same things over and over again. In planning our supper club menus, both of us tend to read a lot of food- and […]
We both love flat or mildly leavened bread and the idea of being able to make at home and eat it fresh is always appealing. Earlier, I would follow this pita bread recipe from Serious Eats, which was good and usually produced soft bread. But it does take some time and effort, and I wouldn’t […]
Mutton kebabs make for a tasty snack and also can be used to create a delicious meal. We’ve been using this recipe for kebabs for a long time now and keep adapting it a little here and there every time we make it. Below is the base version, adapted from a galouti kebab recipe ages […]
Prawn Malai Curry is a rich & creamy prawn and coconut dish from Bengal, which legend says got its name from a similar dish made by Malay sailors visiting India. This was one of the first dishes we introduced on our supper club menu and has been a long standing favourite of our guests. We’ve […]
Managing leftover food is something that Indian moms do particularly well. Both our moms would ensure they minimized wastage and tried to get creative about using up leftovers to make them interesting to eat. Phodnichya polya or phodnicha bhat (spiced chapatis or spiced rice) was an easy fix to elevate leftover chapatis or rice, made […]
