Product Information

Specially I love the flavor of vinegar and pomegranate seeds both gives interesting twist which influence me a lot to try this dish for my love ones.

I love the fact that it features desserts as I personally haven’t seen many recipes for Indian desserts so it would be nice to try and make some. Add red chili, salt, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin seeds, coriander powder, and baking soda and pomegranate seeds and mix again thoroughly.Add the mint paste to the yoghurt mixture and whisk for one minute until the ingredients are combined. Its in this section that you learn a bit about basic preparation, how to make a green chilli paste, different ways of cutting/chopping an onion and then toasting and crushing spices.

The recipes are easy to follow with the spices grouped together and I love all the illustrations and the story behind the wonderful Anand family. In a blender, combine mint, coriander, chilies, lemon juice, cumin seeds, amchoor and grind until the ingredients become a paste.Here is one recipe which I tried at home from her new book “Beyond Brilliant”, Onion Bhajis (Punjabi Pakoras) with minty yogurt chutney.
