Wood Apple Pepper Soup
Bowls of Comfort

Wood Apple Pepper Soup

Somewhere between ou tenga and rasam. Tangy, peppery, garlicky, warming, medicinal without tasting like medicine. Made with a fruit that smells faintly like puke when cut open and then transforms completely.

Coriander-Lime Pepper Shorba
Bowls of Comfort

Coriander-Lime Pepper Shorba

A smooth green peppery coriander broth you drink from a mug. Born from too much coriander in the fridge and a GrabFood order that arrived wrong.

Lemon Chicken Coriander Soup
Bowls of Comfort

Lemon Chicken Coriander Soup

That very specific Indian Chinese restaurant soup. Super lemony, super coriander-heavy, white pepper essential. Coriander is the main character here.

Spiced Pink Beetroot Soup
Bowls of Comfort

Spiced Pink Beetroot Soup

Nigella's recipe. Roasted beetroot, sour cream, cumin, lime. The moment the sour cream goes in, it turns this completely absurd neon pink. Drink it from the fridge bottle. No regrets.

Indian Railway Tomato Soup
Bowls of Comfort

Indian Railway Tomato Soup

Spicy, earthy, tomatoey, creamy. A proper tribute to those little cups on the Shatabdi Express. Made in a rice cooker. Croutons non-negotiable.

Muhammara
Things in Jars

Muhammara

Smoky roasted red peppers, walnuts, and pomegranate molasses. Levantine, deeply addictive, and the dip you make once and then find yourself making for everything.

Sambal Hijau
Things in Jars

Sambal Hijau

Indonesian green chilli sambal — fresh, bright, kaffir lime fragrant, and the reason we mostly go to Batam for the food, if we're being honest about it.

Sambal Belado
Things in Jars

Sambal Belado

Deeper, warmer, more comforting than sambal hijau. Makes you immediately want more rice. The sambal I bottled as Lunar New Year gifts.

Schug (Zhug)
Things in Jars

Schug (Zhug)

Bright, sharp, herbal, garlicky. The olive oil makes it almost creamy without any cream. Accidentally elite with salt and vinegar chips.

Daqoos
Things in Jars

Daqoos

Saudi salsa — fresh, bright, garlicky, minty. Goes on absolutely everything. Throw a whole peeled lime in the blender. Yes really.

Harissa Paste
Things in Jars

Harissa Paste

Guntur chillies, coarse-ground spices, and a jar worth keeping in the fridge forever. Makes everything taste more interesting.

Rose Harissa
Things in Jars

Rose Harissa

Rose in harissa. Still undecided about it emotionally, but it's interesting, it's Ottolenghi-adjacent, and the gulkand addition actually works.

Ayurvedic Hair Chutney Podi
Things in Jars

Ayurvedic Hair Chutney Podi

You eat this. You do not put it in your hair. Earthy, nutty, curry-leaf-forward. Eat it daily with ghee on rice and call it wellness.

Padma Lakshmi's Kumquat Chutney
Things in Jars

Padma Lakshmi's Kumquat Chutney

Spicy, jammy, citrusy — the Lunar New Year version of marmalade if marmalade developed a personality disorder and became obsessed with chilli.

Indian Borage Chutney
Things in Jars

Indian Borage Chutney

Herbal, slightly peppery coconut chutney made from Indian borage leaves. Born from a sore throat and an Ayurvedic Instagram reel. On toast with labneh.
