Who'd have thought vegan fudge would turn out way better, smoother and yum than regular fudge? It starts with making your own vegan condensed milk (which should totally be a thing) with coconut milk.

@Indulekha_A @dire_nair Don't get me started on them giving his moustache that origin story.

[Anand Prahlad @magicmarinade]

@dire_nair Favourite. I still remember watching the early episodes on DD and being quite instantly hooked.

I figured an easier way to make #CherryPie would be to just use the #compote I made a few weeks ago, so I decided to make another video. This year's fabulous cherry season is almost over now, but this is SO worth baking this weekend.

It's #Cherry #season and the best way to preserve your cherries is to either turn it into a #compote or, better still, take that compote and put it into a pie. Compote this week, pie next week; stay tuned!

#Coconut #Chutney, the #Kerala way, my favourite thing to have with idli or dosa (always above #sambar ).
So I made a video showing you how I make it.

Time to maintain your wooden chopping boards with a good sanding and polish. I show you how to make your own seasoning oil with beeswax and mineral oil, to get you board golden and healthy. #wood #seasoning

I made a whole video on how to season your cast iron skillets (ideally with flax seed oil, because it seasons best). With a fried egg test to show off that seasoning.

Making the most of #mangoseason with some #Thai Mango Sticky Rice, a perfectly balanced combination of salty sweet with fresh #mango (I used #alphonso here) and a salty #coconut sauce. Super easy!

@dire_nair Pretended I ate it. They were a crow couple, and super egalitarian. If one got more food (I used to also feed them raw chicken, technically their cousin but still), one would then go and share it with the other.

[Anand Prahlad @magicmarinade]

It’s #mango season and I decided to make #aamras for the first time, with #Alphonso and #kesar, with zero sugar added to it because who needs sugar with mangoes so sweet!

If you liked last week’s video with strawberry ice cream on a bed of chocolate soil, here’s how you can make the soil for yourself. And maybe for your next Masterchef forest themed dessert or edible potted plant idea.

Strawberry season is pretty much over, so I decided to make the most of it, while also trying to deal with this #heatwave in Bombay. Also #vegan #glutenfree and super #yum Literally three ingredients, no special equipment needed.

Here’s how I make my sambar— not exactly a traditional method. I started cooking this when I figured I wan’t getting enough of my veggies in, so this was a one pot wonder to fix that, while also being super yum (read, lots of coconut).

I just started off a #spice mix series, and the first one is home made #Sambar powder from scratch. Easy-peasy, and you probably have most of these things at home already. Probably.
