It’s mango season! We bought some the other day and they weren’t as sweet as we expected. So, I ground the pulp with mint, sage, garlic, ginger and chillies, added salt, sugar and lemon juice to bring out the taste. Simple dip/chutney to repurpose not so tasty mangoes.

This is tori or ridge gourd. A light summer vegetable that is easy to digest and cook. Simply perl and cut inch long pieces. Heat oil in a pot, add a tablespoon of poppy seeds. Add tori pieces along with thinly sliced onions. Add salt, turmeric and chilli powder. Cook on high while turning occasionally. It leaves a lot of water. Allow to cook on low flame after 10 minutes. You may cover and cook to speed up the cooking. Serve with ghee and rice. Enjoy!

Swap cola with this tangy and cooling drink. Use any lentils to make fritters (I have used urad daal). Soak in warm water for 5 minutes. Prepare the soup by mixing tamarind, jaggery, crushed fennel seeds, ginger julienne, salt and loads of chopped mint and coriander. Add finely chopped green chillies to further spice it up. Add the fritters for 30 minutes before serving. Also tastes good if you chill the preparation. Enjoy!
