Carrot Thoran is a classic Kerala stir-fry where grated carrots meet a coarse coconut–garlic crush and a mustard-curry leaf tempering. The dish stays bright, lightly crunchy, and coconut-forward, making it perfect for Christmas lunches or dinner thalis. It delivers warmth and colour without fuss, fitting effortlessly into festive menus.

Savoury overnight oats get an Indian twist in this make-ahead meal prep recipe. Creamy oats meet tangy curd, milk, and a quick tempering of mustard, cumin, onion, and tomato masala. Each jar stays fresh for days, making it perfect for busy mornings when you crave comfort and spice without the morning rush.

This Creamy Spinach & Green Garlic Soup is built on slow-sautéed aromatics and the soft bite of young garlic shoots, which give the soup a gentle sharpness without muting the spinach’s clean flavour. A small potato thickens the blend naturally, keeping the texture smooth and the colour vibrant, making this bowl reliable for everyday meals.
