Anari Aloo: Potatoes in Pomegranate Reduction
24 Aug
No, this is not a recipe for silly potatoes. The anari in the title is अनारी not अनाड़ी , which implies ‘flavored with pomegranate’. I’m especially thrilled to share this recipe of anari aloo with you as it was something of a shot in the dark for me – I had no precedent or inspiration, and only followed a hunch that this way of pairing fresh pomegranate with potatoes would work.
Did it work? You bet it did!
Banana Peanut Smoothie
21 Aug

At least in India, peanut butter isn’t a regular in most households – it is expensive and not available in smaller grocery stores.
