We LOVE tea in our household. I wouldn’t say we get through tonnes of tea in a day (people who drink more than 8 cups, I’m looking at you) but each cup that is drunk has to be perfect!

COCONUT BURFI – a delicious 3-ingredient coconut fudge using fresh coconut; a traditional Indian sweet. Coming from the southern coastal town of Mangalore and basically from the southern part of India where the main ingredient used in most of our Konkani cooking is coconut, I always, always have freshly grated coconut in my fridge or freezer to use in chutneys, coconut based curries, snacks etc. But sometimes they end up in some delicious desserts or sweets like Ponsa Patholi (a jackfruit sweet), in a sweet stuffed flat bread like Puran Poli or ubbati etc....

Your goal is to cook it quickly, so you can pan-fry or grill this steak, but broiling is my favorite method. When it comes to thin and relatively cheap beef cuts, flat iron steak is my favorite because it’s fattier than cuts like tri-tip roast, skirt steak, or flank steak. It’s affordable, intensely flavorful, relatively tender, and marvelously fatty. And although it’s not as marbled or tender as ribeye steak or New York strip, it’s tender enough that you don’t have to marinate it as long as you cook it quickly and keep it medium-rare....

Made with pork sausage and vegetables and flavored with garlic, sage, and thyme, it’s just as good as bread stuffing. This sausage stuffing is delicious! The idea is to use vegetables to replace the bulk traditionally achieved with bread, yet keep the traditional flavor profile by using seasonings such as sage and thyme. Cauliflower stuffing is another excellent option, although this one is certainly heartier. I often make both because they can be made in advance and reheated in the oven....

You may wonder why to go to all of the efforts of making homemade ghee? All I ask is that you make homemade ghee just once, you will NEVER go back to shop-bought ever again.

Vegetable puffs conjure up wonderful memories for me!!! During my college days, after a long day in the laboratory tinkering with all the apparatus and chemicals, all I wanted to do was to go home, wash up and have something spicy and tasty (made lovingly by my Mom) with piping hot coffee!!!
