Think outside the box – is what we’re often told to do as both kids and adults. But perhaps this is another form of laissez-faire! It is also the simplest way to get rid of a pondering question, leave the kids in a frazzled confused state, and buy some time.

How many times have I been told that? Countless times. To no avail. Except when it comes to food. Somehow, that is the only time I actually put my mind and sense to work with a bubbling passion to create something new.

So here is a loaded nachos platter – Greek style! The AL Chipino Sea Salt + Black Pepper chips are the best ones to pair in this dish with the refreshing Greek components of chickpeas, pomegranates, parsley, tomatoes and spring onions. I use a Greek yogurt base for some juiciness and the salty feta does wonders to bring the whole platter together.

Yes, I am catching onto the viral trends, albeit a lot later than many, but at least I finally am there! The baked feta idea came to me when I was consulting Toska Chocolate House when we started having feta in our ingredient list for a salad - one you must try if you’re in Ahmedabad. We serve it baked with homemade spicy tomato chutney, olives, herbs and lots of love! Feta is not my top choice cheese – not because of its taste, but rather the lack of shelf life. I’m a sporadic and moody eater, and we all know once you open that pack of feta, you pretty much need to inhale it within a day before it gets too sour. Which is why I have always refrained from buying it. This recipe I share here, is again stemmed from one of those nights where I found half a block of feta, just beginning to sour, so not suited for a cold salad. I thought, let’s bake it and see what happens. The flavours here are sweet, salty, spicy and crunchy – highlight is the fried almonds which is a sheer delight on its own, but even better here. This is one of those recipes that is put together by instinct rather than meticulous measurement – so keep that in mind when assembling and feel confident to adjust ingredient amounts as per your heart’s desire!

Salads,Savoury Borani-e-labu is a Persian beet and yoghurt salad, and I’ve taken some inspiration from  there for the Persian Cucumber Salad but besides the existence of beets and Greek yoghurt, there’s fairly little in common. I’ve done a similar version before in Beet Carpaccio – a richer Persian version of the dish with the inclusion of buffalo mozzarella pieces. Today, I lighten (read: diet) it up with smears of thick Greek yoghurt and a variety of ‘bird food’ (read: seeds, nuts…) but I promise, it’s a real treat without the foreboding sense of diet food. The layers of texture with pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, hemp seeds, bee pollen and pistachios, along with the freshness of parsley work brilliantly against the rush of sourness from Malta orange zest. And the beauty of this dish is that it brings out the artist in you – it’s a dish that’s not just appealing to the waistline, but to the eye as well. The Recipe Serves 2 Ingredients 150 g Plain Greek Yoghurt 1 Boiled and Sliced Beet Fresh Parsley 2 tsp Bee Pollen 2 tsp Pine Nuts 2 tsp Hemp Seeds 2 tsp Pumpkin Seeds 2 tbsp Chopped Pistachios 1 tsp Orange zest 1 tsp Pink Peppercorns Sea Salt Extra Virgin Olive Oil Instructions Spread the Greek yoghurt on a serving plate Place the beets on top Sprinkle all the remaining ingredients on top.
