Mustard-flavored chutney with yam (Hindi: suran/jimikand or ole) as its base – that’s ole chutney, a recipe traditionally made in Bihari homes.

Khad ki Sabzi: Yam, Carrot, Potato Medley
I normally steer clear of over-the-top superlatives, but I have to make an exception for khad ki sabzi – this is truly THE BEST recipe I have discovered in a long time. A few simple vegetables cooked in ghee and lemon juice – and the effect is magic!
Mango Phirni: Classic Rice Dessert with Fruity Twist!
Mango phirni gives a seasonal twist to the classic rice phirni (creamy Indian rice pudding). This mango delicacy is a summertime favorite inspired by a recipe I saw on the TV show Turban Tadka.
Pineapple Grapefruit Juice (with Mint and Cumin)
Enjoy the tropical tartness of pineapple grapefruit juice, with fresh herbs and spices. A vibrant yellow drink with all the benefits of “yellow foods” – this juice is especially rich in Vitamin C.
Watermelon Pomegranate Beetroot Juice
Prepare yourself for an onslaught of red, and a megadose of vitamins and minerals. Watermelon, pomegranate and beetroot combine to make a wonderful cooling concoction. Besides reminding you of the translucent glow of rubies.
Cucumber Coriander Mint Juice
This green juice is loaded with the goodness of fresh herbs: coriander (cilantro / coriander) and mint (pudina). Light, water-rich cucumber makes it a perfect solvent for the dense herb extract. A squeeze of lime enhances the color and flavor of the drink, besides upping the vitamin quotient. Ideal for the summer, easy on the waist – as well as on the wallet.
