Turmeric Hummus with Green Mango

March 28, 2017

Looking for an unusual hummus flavour that you’ve never made or tasted before? This Turmeric Hummus with Green Mango is just the one for you.

Hummus is a universal favourite – it is vegan, it is versatile and enjoys place of pride in the list of healthy snacks. On my trip to Jordan last year, I ate hummus it for every other meal for 7 days and was joking that I am off hummus for the rest of my life. The number of variations you can do on this simple dish, does allow you to make a unique flavour every single time.

Vary the kind of beans used, do a spin on the flavours you add to the mix, use veggies and herbs that lend a colour (Hello, Green Goddess Hummus) and voila you have an unusual hummus flavour!

Green mangoes make an appearance in the Indian markets just before summer hits hard and brings a bounty of a plethora of mango varieties. Using Turmeric and green mango in this hummus gives it a summer twist. It is much lighter than the regular hummus as there’s considerably less EVOO. Does the appearance of tahini in the ingredients list stop you from making hummus at home? This one has no Tahini, so all the more reason you can try it out asap!

Turmeric, be it the fresh root or the ground variety is abound with health benefits. Adding seasonal fresh turmeric to hummus gives it a beautiful golden hue while giving you yet another way to make use of this magical spice.

How to use this unusual turmeric hummus with green mango?

  • Try this recipe using sweet ripe mango instead of the tart green variety and squeeze of half a lemon, for yet another usual variety of hummus.

🥦FULL RECIPE- SAVE THE POST🥦
Broccoli season is here and this is one recipe I plan to make every week if not more often! This literally takes five minutes, I kid you not. The garlic peeling is what takes the most time for this super easy recipe.
.
WARM BROCCOLI SALAD
----------------------------------------
2 medium heads of broccoli
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 tbsp finely minced garlic
1 tsp finely grated ginger
1/4 tsp chilli flakes
2 tsp sesame seeds
2-3 tbsp soya sauce
.
Break broccoli into florets. Wash and microwave for 3 mins or steam in steamer. Drain and keep aside.
In a pan, heat oil. Fry garlic, ginger, chili flakes, sesame for few seconds. Add soya sauce. Toss in broccoli florets and remove to a bowl immediately. Tastes best warm. Eat as a salad or with some steamed rice.

  • Another photo from a shoot I did with my neighbour for her saree draping workshop at @ahundredhands last month.
🌼
This saree belonged to my grandma and it is nearly 40 years old. The silk has been washed several several times over the years. It drapes ever so softly and falls beautifully. I don’t even dare to iron this delicate fabric. ⭐️
Draped by my neighbour Janaki in whose hands the fabrics simply flow, a  knot there, a tuck here and a fold there and what you see this - no pins, no petticoat, no nonsense. The cascading back pleats are more dramatic but the front is lovely as well. Swipe to see the front style.
  • {HIRE ME}
Is my salad doing justice to the pretty bowl or is the pretty bowl doing justice to my salad?

Bringing more Amla goodness to you with this post!
.

Blueberries are on the top of every antioxidant rich foods list. The antioxidant content of a food is measured in Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) units. Amla or Indian gooseberry has an ORAC score of 2,61,500, which is over 50 times that of blueberries. I hope that convinces you to make amla a part of your diet. Here's a simple recipe for Amla- Raita. You can mix this with rice and eat as a simple meal.
.
Amla Raita

Serves 4

4-5 amla 
¼ tsp turmeric

¼ tsp salt

3-4 tbsp coconut

2 green chillies

¼ tsp salt

2 cups yogurt

1 tsp oil

¼ tsp mustard seeds

1 sprig curry leaves

Pressure cook the amla with ½ cup water along with salt and turmeric for 4-5 minutes.

Drain amla and remove seeds. (Drink up any leftover water in cooker or add to dal)  In a mixer jar, grind together cooked amla, coconut, green chillies and salt to a coarse paste.

Add this to yogurt and whisk well.

Heat oil in a small pan. Fry mustard seeds and curry leaves. Once seeds splutter transfer over the raita. 
Do try this during the current amla- season and tag me if you post it here!

  • When I first came across @naina online, I was so blown away by the way she photographed people. Over the years, over bits of conversation, offline and online, our little friendship grew. I have even sent her pictures of shoes on WhatsApp to ask which colour to go with 😂
.
She was in Bangalore over the weekend and we met for coffee and then lunch. It was such a pleasure to model one of her hand painted brooches - check these out at @khaosphilos, these are one of a kind wearable art.
