Kale Tofu

28/7/2020

I know what you're thinking...Kale Tofu?! But don't knock it until you've tried it. This is a vegan version of my mum's take on Saag Paneer (spinach and paneer curry) in which she uses kale instead of spinach. It is a huge hit with us all; but since my husband became Vegan a few years back I have been swapping the paneer for tofu so that we can all enjoy it.

This dish is simply spiced and tastes particularly good the next day once all of the flavours have settled into the tofu even more!

Green Garden Curry

I LOVE a green curry. I'm not talking about a Thai Green Curry (although I love those too!) but a basic Gujarati bung-in-all-your-greens-with-some-Indian-spices curry. They are fresh, healthy and super quick to cook. Oh and a treat for those taste-buds too.

A couple of days ago I made this beaut solely using handpicked veg/herbs from the garden. There is nothing more satisfying than eating a home-cooked AND home-grown meal! The best thing about this Green Garden Curry is that you can use any greens you like. Just bung 'em in and enjoy after the spices have worked their magic.

Easy Saag Paneer

This is a cheat's version of the classic Saag Paneer, using cupboard spices and seasoning. If you don't have a spice tin you can still make this Saag Paneer! Just omit the mustard seeds and cumin - it will taste delicious. For a Vegan friendly alternative, just swap the paneer for tofu.

I chucked this together one evening when I really fancied Saag Paneer, but was too lazy to consider chopping garlic and onions or grating ginger (shocking, I know!). The only thing I had to chop was the paneer and boom! Dinner was served!

I have not yet met anybody who doesn't enjoy Pav Bhaji. This famous Indian street food is a hot, tasty blend of vegetables served on buttered bread rolls. I love it even more because it's a delicious way to use up odds and ends, and it's so simple to cook!

Sabudana ni Khichdi (Spiced Tapioca Pearls)

15/6/2020

Growing up, I used to call Sabudana ni Khichdi 'Jelly Shak' because my mum would always let the bottom part overcook so that it became sticky and jelly-like. This is still my favourite part!

This spiced tapioca dish is healthy and easy to whip up. It is another Farar food, which means that it is often cooked during fasting days and simply seasoned with cumin, salt, pepper and ginger.
