Nachos was never a thing for me in my childhood – and I fail to come up with any legit reason, apart from stare daggers at my mother for depriving me of such divine creations! But when I grew up and ventured alone to college, my friends made me discover my love for Mexican food because all I knew of was the healthy grilled faijtas. Cheesy quesadillas made a space for itself in my heart and the best morning after food I discovered was a well loaded plate of nachos. So taking this inspiration I create for you a fancier version that can pass off somewhat elegantly – Nacho Pot Pie!

A pot pie using tortilla chips as layering is perhaps another kind of genius. Additionally, the layers are stuffed with Mexican fillings of refried beans, corn, salsa, cheese, lettuce and jalapenos. And last, but not least, a delicious avocado.

Chickpea Mediterranean Burger

A veggie burger isn’t the most appealing to me – for countless reasons, but the main one being, a grilled vegetarian patty wedged between thick bread buns just isn’t appealing for me. A fried patty – yes, that’s the one I want. But in life, we can’t always have what we want. So here is a grilled patty, which is both nutritious and packed with flavour. My key is to remove a lot of the bread in the center, so that there is less bread, but enough to hold all the juicy sauces and my favourite condiments such as chili sauce, caramelized onions, avocado slices – the works! The patty here uses leftover boiled chickpeas, but you could replace with brown masoor dal or kidney beans. I use Mediterranean flavours like dried mint, garlic, dill, oregano and parsley and some spring onions. Because pink is my favourite colour, I couldn’t help but add in some raw beetroot, grated, for a boost for my hemoglobin too. The beauty of burger patties is that it is very versatile, and you have freedom to do as you please, based on your fridge and pantry existence! Caramelised Onion recipe: here
