Pistachio Pudding Cake with Cashew Cream (vegan)
This cake is pudding-like moist, but definitely not short of any flavour. It is very much on par with a lot of the pistachio cream cakes out there, but the difference: this has almond flour and low-GI sugar! The cashew cream as frosting is the best combination for this cake, adding that perfect extra bit…
Haldi and Matcha Coconut Barfi (lactose-free)
Barfi is a milk-based sweet from India, served as mithai (celebratory sweets).

This version of mine is dairy-free,…

Butter Paneer (Paneer Makhanwala)
Butter masala, makhanwala, makhani are all the same gorgeous sauce for paneer. This is hands down my favourite comfort food. The paneer melts in your mouth while the masala tingles the right spice senses, leaving the cream or butter to gently soothe the flavours down to the perfect note. Try this if you are having…
