Avocado Yogurt Dip

Everyone calls this the ‘get fat’ season, it starts with diwali celebrations, which seamlessly transforms into major wedding season. (Yes, it’s a ‘season’ by itself. Whether we are guaranteed a ‘winter’ every year is suspect, but wedding season is guaranteed. Always.) Before heading out to the celebrations, here is a good, healthy quick and easy, not to mention satisfying, bite to munch on! And yes, it is also avocado season! Serve with pita chips, or for an even healthier option, fingers of carrots, cucumbers and whatever else your heart desires.

Serves 4-6 people as an appetizer (Adapted from Two Peas and Their Pod)

Fiesta!

It’s been a while. But in this while, a LOT has been accomplished, and a LOT has been witnessed. Most significant and fantastic was the fortnight in Croatia, starting with the quaint and historic Dubrovnik, up to Split, party-packed Hvar and peaceful and artsy Zadar. Although I must admit, the food wasn’t brilliant, and local cuisine was fresh and beautiful, but preparations being highly bland. All in all, with a few gems of eatiers and plentitude of fresh truffle managed to compensate, and thisnational park made the whole trip worth it. (Note to reader: add to bucket list. NOW.)

This salad has become a new favourite. Every weekend for the last 2-3 months, SS has sweetly sidled up to me and asked me to make this for him. Although not technically a salad, the amount of leaves in it may force you to label it one- it’s more of an awesome appetizer, with savoury corn chips, luxuriously rich avocado, tender beans and spicy taco seasoning. This one takes the cake- and it’s here to stay. Did I mention how simple it is? Serves 4 generously.

Monsoon Salad

  There is little in the world half so wonderful as enjoying the Mumbai monsoon, the rain lashing against the grey Arabian Sea, and local chaat wallahs converting themselves into butta wallahs, dishing out mean masala and lemon doused corn on the cob. My serenade to the city’s prettiest season is this wonderfully hearty warming […] Read more…
