Fig Kulfi


This gorgeous, soft, sweet, juicy, fragrant fruit is just so versatile to be used in anything or everything. Can be eaten as is or can be tipped in any of your favorite dessert recipes. Though the dried figs are available all year round, there is nothing like the unique taste and texture of fresh figs available seasonally. They are mildly sweet with a texture that combines the chewiness of their flesh, the smoothness of their skin, and the crunchiness of their seeds.


This when combined with the sweetness of red wine, creaminess of evaporated milk and then frozen, turns out to be a scrumptious kulfi you may never had tasted before. For me, wine never seemed as befitting as this.

Bitter Gourd Chips


This is a great choice for one, like me, who hates bitter-gourd. I am sure everyone will like the deep fried version of this vegetable. Deep frying reduces or mostly nullifies the bitterness of karela. These chips can be made with minimum effort, and taste the best inspite its natural bitterness.
