Keralan Fish Curry with fish, coconut milk and curry leaves — India recipe

🇮🇳IndiaMedium

Fish and Seafood Dishes

Keralan Fish Curry

South Indian fish curry from Kerala — tender white fish fillets simmered in a coconut milk sauce with curry leaves, mustard seeds, and tamarind. It is tangier than most creamy curries and deeply aromatic from the tempered spices and fresh curry leaves. In Kerala the sour note comes from kudampuli (kodampuli, Malabar tamarind), a dried souring fruit; ordinary tamarind paste is the easier-to-find stand-in used here, and it balances the richness of the coconut milk. The golden rule: never stir the fish, just shake the pan gently to keep the fillets intact.

Golden Milk (Turmeric Latte) with ground turmeric, milk and black pepper — India recipe

🇮🇳IndiaEasy

Beverages

Golden Milk (Turmeric Latte)

Warm milk with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper. The original recipe is centuries old — haldi doodh in Hindi, drunk before sleep as a remedy and a ritual. The black pepper is not decoration: piperine increases curcumin absorption by a significant margin, which is why every serious version of this drink includes it. Ten minutes on the stove, and the kitchen smells like something your grandmother would approve of.

Jamu (Indonesian Turmeric Ginger Tonic) with fresh turmeric, ginger and water — Indonesia recipe

🇮🇩IndonesiaMedium

Beverages

Jamu (Indonesian Turmeric Ginger Tonic)

Jamu is the general name for Indonesian herbal drinks; this version follows kunyit asam, which in Indonesia is fresh turmeric boiled with tamarind, palm sugar and a pinch of salt. Some cooks there add ginger, as here; black pepper, honey and coconut oil are not part of the Indonesian drink and are optional. Serve it warm on a rainy morning, or over ice in the afternoon.

Homemade Granola with Honey and Clusters with rolled oats, honey and oil — USA recipe

Breakfast and Brunch

Homemade Granola with Honey and Clusters

Golden oat clusters held together by honey and egg white, baked low and slow until they shatter when you break them apart. The secret is pressing the mixture flat and never touching it in the oven — that's what builds those chunky pieces everyone fights over. Dried fruit goes in after baking so it stays chewy instead of turning into little rocks.

Vegan Cheesecake with cashews, coconut cream and lemon juice — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAMedium

Sweet Dishes

Vegan Cheesecake

A no-bake cheesecake built on a date-and-nut base, filled with blended cashews, lemon, vanilla, and coconut cream, then set in the freezer until firm. The texture is rich and silky — somewhere between a classic New York cheesecake and a frozen cream dessert. The tang from the lemon juice is what makes it taste like a cheesecake rather than just a sweet cashew cream. This recipe requires a high-speed blender and patience: soaked cashews and several hours of chilling. In exchange, it produces something that looks and tastes considerably more impressive than its ingredient list suggests.
