Make your festive season fantastic with these Extraordinary Recipes


India has a healthy pulsating heart fed by the lifeline of festivals and festivities. This is that time of the year which begins with a festive spree and is always enjoyed by one and all. Festivals are all about fun, great food, warmth and love we share with each other. While we all love to munch on our favourite foods during special days, there’s no reason not to enjoy making it at home. Since, it is one of the most important festive time of the year, your food too should definitely match the vibes. While we all love our share of the desi recipes, here’s something a little videsi and full of deliciousness that you’ll surely love too.


I’ve picked the best firangi recipes for you, which are a hit with everybody, fun to cook, eat and celebrate at home with your loved ones! Read on…



1. Spinach and Mozzarella Lasagne

The love for Italian food is real for us Indians, and pasta tops that list! This recipe with the popular combination of spinach and cheese is sure to impress you. Take a look at this version – fresh homemade lasagna sheets between which lies the creamiest spinach filling and lots of cheese baked to perfection. Already drooling? What are you waiting for? Go, bake it ASAP!


2. Sweet Potato and Rosemary Mash

You might already be a fan of the popular mashed potatoes. Would you not be a bigger fan if it were healthier? I’m sure you will. Sweet potatoes are a great way to bring nutrition into your diet without losing the feel of consuming the favourite regular potato. So, here’s a delish herby sweet potato mash which has a sweet and earthy flavour that is definite to place the regular mashed potatoes on a back seat for a while.


3. Cardamom Spiced Coffee Frappe

Beverages are the first thing that comes to mind when we’re talking about guests, and you don’t want to mess that up for sure. Elaichi flavoured chai is too main stream. So, I’ve found this tried and tested version of the famous French Frappe. Spike up the regular frappe with some green cardamoms and add some sass to your festive season. Go ahead and give it a try, you and your guests won’t be disappointed.


4-Kimchi

You know how we are crazy about our share of biryani. Similarly, Koreans are absolutely crazy and almost obsessed with their signature dish, Kimchi. It’s prepared with fermented cabbage, spicy umami sauces and flavours of garlic, ginger and chillies. If you want to know what’s so special about it, you should try it.

5- Banoffee Pie

If you’re bored of the usual cake recipes, time to try something which is a favourite to the British. The word ‘banoffee’ is a combination of two words, banana and toffee. The pie is stuffed with bananas, caramel and topped with loads of whipped cream with an outer crust of biscuit and a buttery base. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it?
