Kerala Fruitcake (Plum Cake)
This fruitcake is a classic Christmas recipe in my house. When I was younger, I’d help my mom mix giant bowls of this batter so we could make enough loaves to send to just about all of our family members. For my mom, she found so much joy and pride in making this cake – it’s like she was sharing more than a piece of cake…she was sharing a piece of her memories with everyone around her.
Rasam (a South Indian soup)
Rasam is a simple soup with very complex flavors. It’s tangy, spicy, with a touch of sweetness. It’s the perfect soup to make when you have a sore throat or just crave a warm and comforting meal.
South Indian Rasam Podi (Powder)
Rasam is one of the many simple, yet complexly-flavored dishes in South India. This spice blend can be made and stored for months.
Lemon Pound Cake
This is one of my mom’s many classic dessert recipes. Just about any time we’d have friends or family come over to our home, we’d tidy up the house and then the last thing she’d do is bake this Lemon Pound Cake so that the house would be full of its citrus-y, buttery aroma.
Spicy Chicken Vindaloo
By tradition, vindaloos are very spicy so my recipe title is redundant but figured I should include the disclaimer if you’ve never experienced a vindaloo dish. Yes, there are quite a few ingredients in this dish, but don’t let that stop you from making this highly flavorful curry.
Kerala Shrimp Kati Roll
You know what’s nice about fusion recipes like this? They bridge familiar concepts with the unfamiliar.That’s what I thought about when making this Kerala Shrimp Kati Roll recipe. It’s packed with flavor and succulent, spiced shrimp.
