Indian-spiced Creamed Corn
Tuesday, September 22, 2026Traditional creamed corn is a kinda soupy version of sweetcorn. The “creaminess” is a milky liquid that comes from partially mushed up kernels, no additional any form of dairy required. This Indian-styled creamed corn use some warm aromatic Indian spices and curry leaves to transform something ordinary into a special and fragrant side dish that delivers flavour and comfort. You can of course use some heavy cream to make it even more creamier and richer.

Apple cloud cake is a lightly spiced with cinnamon and cardamom, tender and less-guilty dessert that's zero added fat, relatively low in sugar, but big on taste. It’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or any time when sweet craving hits. Its soft texture and the taste of fresh apples make it irresistible. I have used a 23cm square baking tray, but you certainly can use a round springform pan.

This creamy turmeric chicken recipe is so full of flavour, packed with warm spices and so easy to make in your skillet. Coming together in just 30 minutes, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

Apple Cider Cookies

Soft, chewy, made with apple cider reduction, raw brown sugar, apple pie spice and butter, these cookies are baked to perfection, then drizzled with an apple cider glaze that makes your entire kitchen smells delicious. If you don’t have apple pie spice mix, simply use 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with a little bit of ginger powder and nutmeg instead. Don’t over beat the butter and sugar, or the cookies will spread too much and become thin and flat. Store the rest in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. If you want to freeze the baked cookies, leave out the glaze. Let them thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy. Then, add the glaze if desired.

The muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days and they freeze well too without the topping and add the spiced sugar after thawing for the optimal result.

An easy chicken sheet pan recipe that can be marinated ahead of time and has an amazing Middle Eastern flavour. Sumac, known for its deep burgundy colour and lemony flavour, pairs beautifully with the deep, sweet notes of pomegranate molasses, creating a meal that’s exotic, exciting and deeply comforting. I have served it with a bulgur salad, but a rice pilaf or bread would be just great too. If you don’t want to use chicken legs, the recipe also works with a whole chicken, jointed into eight pieces.

One batch of chopped onions are stir-fried in ghee for the masala sauce, and after the chicken and spices are added to the pan, it is the second batch of sliced onions’ turn.

Chicken 65 is a popular South Indian chicken appetizer that originated at the iconic Buhari Hotel in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, in 1965. It was named after the year of its invention, 1965. Chicken 65 is flavour-packed, incredibly delicious and has just the right amount of heat. You can also serve it as the main with rice or naan.
If you can’t find fresh curry leaves, dried one would work too. Soak them for 10 minutes in water before using. Don’t feel like frying, then airfry them at 200C/400F for 6-8 minutes until cooked through.
