Another childhood favourite of mine is a Filipino steamed brown rice cake called Kutsinta. Kutsinta is sticky to touch, jelly-like and has a chewy consistency. I have made a sweetened version of Kutsinta where it is topped with freshly grated coconut. Eating his dessert takes me back […]
This Simple Red Lentil Dahl is an Indian soup that my family enjoys with the curries we eat. The beauty of dahl is that it is such a versatile dish to make; there are so many recipes with variations and adaptations that you can add / remove to […]
