Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls | As Chennai goes thro Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls | As Chennai goes through another sweltering summer, dishes like these offer a brief respite from both the cooking and eating perspectives. Other than the tofu, which gets a quick fry in the pan, there’s no other cooking involved. Admittedly, they’re a bit fiddly to assemble and here—do as I say, not as I do—don’t overstuff them. But if you ARE of the overstuffing bent, I may have a nifty trick to contain them: double up on your rice paper. Recipe is linked
New PR: 14 strict pull-ups! I don’t mind filmi New PR: 14 strict pull-ups! I don’t mind filming a top set every now and then, but can we not normalise recording entire workouts like CCTV footage? Got to the gym earlier than usual so I could film this before it got busy. Some gym etiquette is worth preserving - even, and especially in this weird age of content.

Carrot, Tofu & Egg Fried Rice | Whenever I develop Carrot, Tofu & Egg Fried Rice | Whenever I develop recipes and throw them into our weekly rotation, they have to check a couple of boxes. In no particular order but all equally important: it should take less than 45 minutes from start to finish, all the ingredients must be easily available, and it has to include a good amount of fibre and protein. This recipe uses a whole block of tofu, 6 eggs, and 400 grams of carrots. As much as you may like your vegetables, they can be a little one-dimensional without a bit of help. I would strongly recommend using a food processor or a hand-held chopping gadget to chop your carrots really fine here. Stock cubes are another essential. I know they’re not the gold standard health-wise, but I’d argue that the nutrition you get from all those carrots and tofu more than outweighs the downside of two stock cubes. This is a hill I’m willing to die on. Recipe is linked

Punchy chickpea salad with pickles and feta | Chic Punchy chickpea salad with pickles and feta | Chickpeas are versatile, inexpensive, and an excellent source of protein and fibre. We should all be eating more of them, and here’s one way to add them to your rotation when you can’t think beyond hummus. They’re pretty bland on their own, so pair them deliberately with hard-hitters: I used pickled jalapeños and gherkins for extra punch, along with olives and feta for saltiness. The dressing has Dijon and red wine vinegar to zhuzh it up even more. I also throw in a good heap of sultanas for that pop of sweetness in every bite. We usually eat this as a side with grilled chicken or fish, or just eggs and toast for a quick, nutritious meal. Nothing fancy, just chickpeas pulling their weight. Recipe is linked

Muhammara (with tamarind!) | This is the kind of f Muhammara (with tamarind!) | This is the kind of food that feels most characteristic of my cooking: simple, adaptable, and forgiving of whatever’s left at the back of the fridge. Last week’s shrivelled red pepper became a smoky base for a muhammara-ish dip: the usual walnuts, bread, garlic, and dried chillies all in place, but with one big swap. Instead of pomegranate molasses, I used tamarind. A small knob with a touch of sugar, and suddenly the dip had that deep, sweet-sour complexity I was after. Familiar like a classic muhammara, but also its own thing entirely. Honestly, tamarind did the job so well I’m not sure I’ll bother keeping molasses around anymore. Recipe is linked
