From Pickles To Chutneys: Exploring The Flavours Of Kaffir Lime In South Indian Cuisine

[ad_1] Memories of summer vacations are almost always intertwined with food. Refreshing beverages to beat the heat, mangoes from all over India - each with its unique flavour and texture, and of course pickles. I've always had a very mild palate, and very few pickles piqued my interest. The Narthangai pickle was that rare exception. I enjoyed the tangy flavours of this mildly spicy pickle made with Kaffir lime, an essential ingredient across South Asia and South East Asia. The etymology of Kaffir Lime is open for debate. There are various theories about how this citrus fruit with its thick rind and flavoursome leaves acquired its unusual name - Kaffir can be a slur word in many cultures. But there are no disputes about the health benefits of this fruit.The fruit is rich in Vitamin C. At ...

Kosambari – This Delicious Salad From Karnataka Makes For A Quick And Nutritious Meal

[ad_1] There's one dish I always used to look forward to as a kid during Ram Navami in Bengaluru, Kosambari - a quintessential element in festive menus. Kosambari combines the goodness of moong dal with carrot (see recipe) or cucumber and is also served during festivals and as a part of some banana leaf wedding meals in Tamil Nadu. This nutritious meal by itself also makes the perfect accompaniment to one of Karnataka's most iconic rice dishes - the rich bisi bele bath. In many homes, the cucumber becomes the 'go-to' option during summer. With about 95% water, there are few vegetables that can cool you down like cucumber.Also Read: Kaalan: Try This South Indian Sadya-Special Recipe From KeralaHere Are 4 Delicious Kosambari Recipes That You Must Try:Carrot Kosambari:You can also substitut...

Healthy South Indian Vegetarian Recipes From Kerala You Are Sure To Love

[ad_1] I've always believed that wellness food is not about fad diets and the flavour of the season. It's about working on a sustainable, practical diet that doesn't compromise on flavours. If there's one thing we learnt during the pandemic, it's that immunity can't be achieved overnight. It's an outcome of lifestyle choices made over a long period of time. It's the same with healthy food. Work with ingredients that are easily available and are healthy substitutes without obsessing about the calories. A few weeks ago, I was at Amal Tamara, a luxury wellness resort on the edge of the idyllic Vembanad lake near Alappuzha (also known by its former name Alleppey). While the Amal Tamara offers menus that include pan-Indian recipes and international flavours, it's the dishes from Kerala that s...
