Watermelon lemonade
Since watermelons are grown locally and ubiquitous in Chennai, they are almost always very sweet. Sometimes a little too sweet for my liking so I like to offset that with some salt. And yes, it is true that the salt also accentuates the taste of the fruit, so even if you find yours to be not so sweet, I would recommend adding a pinch. This watermelon lemonade is so gloriously simple, you can have it ready to drink in ten minutes tops.
Green Peach, Cilantro, Mint and Coconut Chutney
I combine green peaches with the simplest cilantro chutney in this recipe to create a brightly flavored, crunchy topping worthy of whatever you’re grilling!
Masala Chai or Spiced Indian Tea
Masala chai Indian spiced tea is cooked in milk and spices and is aromatic, a tad spicy and often rather filling.
Padrón Peppers with Toasted Cumin and Coriander
The Spanish Padrón peppers are eaten straight, after a brief grilling or stir-fry to give them brown blistery spots that greatly add flavor.
Mango and cardamom lassi
If you’re looking for a super quick, super easy drink/snack, you’ve come to the right place. The neat thing about this recipe is that you can play around with it to suit your own palate. Feeling virtuous? Add honey instead of sugar. Not in the mood for cardamom? Leave it out completely, or add a few extra mint leaves for freshness. The perfect accompaniment for any summer shindig, this lassi is sure to lift your spirits!
Paal Payasam (3-Ingredient Rice Pudding)
There is a rather endearing practice common to almost all communities in India. At the first hint of anything positive and good in the horizon, any good news—a promotion at work, good grades in school, a college acceptance letter, news of a distant relative's pregnancy, the Indian cricket team scoring a win, doesn't matter what—30 minutes later there invariably will be a sweet dessert ready to share as a thanksgiving. In my house, it's a simple rice pudding known as paal payasam. Its a snap to make. Its not quite as thick as the English version, more like a thick soup.
Meera Sodha’s Naan
The British cookbook author learned this recipe from her aunt Harsha, and included it in her “Made in India: Recipes from an Indian Family Kitchen” in 2015. It is simple to make, and results in crackly-soft flatbreads singed by heat and yielding to tenderness within, with a faint tang of yogurt. It is exactly the sort of thing you’d love to dip in a pool of curry again and again. Just set up an assembly line to roll out the dough and cook it in a hot pan. Once you make the recipe two or three times you’ll never buy naan again.
Vegan Mango Lassi
One of the many things I loved about India....The mango lassi drink... It is a cross between a smoothie and a milk shake and is smooth, creamy, and absolutely heavenly! This drink is such a refreshing drink to have on a hot summer day. Traditionally its made with yogurt as the base however we put a vegan spin on in and the result ?….. Delicious :)

Red Onion Chutney
The majority of the households in the Southern part of India wake up to the aroma of steaming Idlis, sizzling Dosas, or yummy Upma, every morning. All of these snacks need chutney to go along.

Creamy Leek and Apple Soup with Garam Masala
This creamy leek and apple soup is simple to make, but an earthy, complex antidote to Fall’s cooler temps. The homemade lends substance and the Garam Masala gives the soup an unexpected twist of global flavor. It’s both familiar and new, the best kind of combination.
Masala Moscow Mule
My first taste of the Moscow Mule was from Amanda Hesser's Recipe on the site, and Its my favorite! My twist is using a Vodka infused with Masala Chai spices.
Apple Peel Bourbon
The idea for this drink comes from Tara Duggan, who wrote about apple peel-infused bourbon, spiced with a bit of cinnamon and clove, in her cookbook, Root to Stalk. (Get the recipe here: https://food52.com/recipes/31446-apple-peel-bourbon.) It's perfect for strangely hot fall days when Mercury is in retrograde and you want to simultaneously pick apples and sit on a beach somewhere with a cool, fizzy drink. I'm in love with the idea of a cold fall-spiced drink -- it's as good a reason as any to peel a bunch of apples and stock up on ginger beer.

Sweetened condensed milk, lemon, pistachio and cardamom make this a recipe a sweet and simple halwa dessert.
