Delightful exotic vegan recipes #1

Green Papaya salad (Thai Style)

I’ve been craving a green papaya salad or som tam for ages! Unfortunately, our new papaya trees are not yet producing fruit, and it’s surprisingly difficult to find green papayas at the market. Luckily, we passed some random roadside papaya trees and spotted a laden tree, just the perfect height for picking. Yay, free food!

Now, som tam is an Isan dish. Isan is the northeastern region of Thailand, where a lot of culture and cuisine is heavily influenced by Laos. Isan food is less heavy on curries and complex preparations, and more straightforward—featuring grilled and deep-fried proteins, as well as intensely flavorful salads. I just love som tam, it’s such a simple blend of flavors that is so fresh and appetizing.

FLOURLESS ALMOND BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

The other day, I made roasted broccoli voluntarily. And enjoyed it, voluntarily. If you’re following my brand new presence on Snapchat (dessertedgirl), you know adulting is going to a whole new level. Today, I realized, ‘Hey, I’ll even eat almonds if you attach the word ‘butter’ to the end, pack the whole thing up in a cute little jar, and let me make cookies with it.’ Cookies with oats, which I added because my heart said so. Nothing short of a miracle.

(There still is a wee bit of sugar in these cookies; I haven’t reached dangerous adulting levels yet.)

The most incredible part is not the addition of healthy ingredients, but the fact that for the life of me, I couldn’t tell the difference between these little guys and these buttery, cranberry chocolate beauties.

Crusty on the outside, moist and chewy on the inside, nutty and chocolatey all at the same time, with oats that give the cookies texture, structure, and some sort of unexplained oomph.

These cookies are dangerous only because you can make a meal out of them; they’re that irresistible. On the flip side, they’re actually healthy enough to make a meal out of. Cookies for dinner. My lifelong goal.

Chewy, flourless almond butter cookies loaded with oats and chocolate chips. A one-bowl, 5-minute cookie dough!

Pumpkin in coconut and dates Syrup (Squash Coconut Kheer)

Chitra Jagadish

About:

It’s now time for some festival – Ugadi, a new year day for the Deccan region of India.

On this occasion, I tried a simple dish from this festival. This dessert requires fresh Squash; either butternut squash or pumpkin is ideal for this. It is simply squash and coconut; the coconut adds a richer taste, and the two flavors work extremely well together.

These are simple, delicious-looking pumpkin bites in a coconut date syrup, with a small amount of jaggery added to make them taste authentic. The bites or squash chunks were nicely coated with coconut, and I was mesmerized by their flavor.

Peanut and Curry Leaves Chutney

I had been meaning to make peanut chutney for the longest time now. A co-worker had brought this ‘lip smacking’ peanut chutney into work one day and ever since I had been pestering him to get the recipe from his wife.

Flattened Rice Snack (Aval Vilayichathu)

Another quick and healthy snack from my amma’s repertoire of easy snack recipes! As kids, we would always come home to find a tea-time snack, and different types of aval (poha) dishes were common. I have posted one aval recipe before – Aval nanachathu. Today I am posting a variation of this. This recipe for Aval Vilayichathu creates a snack that can last longer, as it caramelizes the jaggery and lightly fries the poha in it. So this keeps longer.
