There’s something about the cold winter winds that makes you crave greasy, fried food. Like the koraishutir kachori, an authentic Bengali snack. It’s essentially a puffed bread (like puri) made from a dough of all-purpose flour and stuffed with peas (a seasonal winter produce), flavoured with spices like chilli powder, cumin powder, and more.

Tricolour Spinach-Tomato Rice is a festive one-pot meal that visually represents the Indian flag using natural ingredients. White rice forms the base, spinach purée adds a vibrant green layer, and slow-cooked tomatoes create a rich red topping. It is simple, nourishing and perfect for Republic Day celebrations.

Keto Malai Broccoli focuses on technique rather than shortcuts. Broccoli is blanched briefly to preserve texture before being folded into a slow-cooked cream and cashew base that builds flavour without carbs. Butter, cheese, and gentle heat create a smooth, stable sauce that feels indulgent yet fits cleanly into a ketogenic meal plan.
