“A light wind swept over the corn, and all the nature laughed in the sunshine.” ~ Anne Bronte

This corn salad is inspired from a lavish breakfast during my recent visit to one of my favourite cities, Delhi at The Claridges. The hotel has been a regular visit for my family for the past three generations, and I can be as obnoxious as to say, this hotel is pretty much like home.
This breakfast session included boiled peas seasoned simply with salt and pepper, paired with smoky grilled corn, which tasted perfect with a guilty butter soaked stuffed paratha. (Breakfast like a king remember?!)

This salad is a perfect addition to the monsoon; with mint leaves, sweet little jewels of pomegranate fruit, crunchy pumpkin seeds and a salty feta cheese.

This salad is good as a side dish to a sumptuous BBQ platter, or a simple diet lunch with a soft-boiled egg.

Noodles have been a bowl of comfort since the beginning of time. It perhaps began with an intense love affair with instant packet noodles, and whilst the lust still lingers for it, the mind has been firm in steering towards flavourings made from scratch and not just in 2 minutes! This sauce is made keeping nutrition in mind – calcium-rich tahini, tamari (as it’s gluten free), and a whole bunch of fresh green veggies are added in for fiber. I do often add in a fried or scrambled egg, occasionally firm tofu cubes or paneer whilst stir frying. As for the noodles – I have experimented with various gluten free and vegan brands, and really, they all are wonderful, but my favourite are egg noodles simply because of how the sauce clings on, whilst maintaining the firmness of the bite of noodle.

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!
