I have a massive soft spot for hot desserts: Chocolate lava cake, sticky toffee pudding, gulab jamun and ice cream, seeroh and cold cream and of course, churros and chocolate. Or churros and dulce de leche. Or churros and scented candle wax Okay maybe not the last one but basically, I’ll eat churros with anything. …
I figured that as everyone seems to have totally lost their minds this year, I’d follow suit in my own crazy way. You might have noticed a Facebook and Instagram post I wrote, earlier this month. It was a big deal for me, having dedicated a huge amount of myself to this blog. In case …
These Vegetarian Tandoori Momos are vegetable and paneer-filled dumplings. Slather each one in tandoori marinade and cook under intense heat for the heavenly charcoal smokiness we all know and love.

I love using lettuce to wrap up spicy noodles, quinoa salad, tandoori tofu and these totally delicious Dhai …
At first, I thought this might be it; the moment I’d officially lost the plot. I was ready to bring two of my favourite things closer than they’ve ever been. Turns out I haven’t gone insane.
