Aubergine bhaji
This is one of my go-to aubergine recipes. It’s pretty quick and not too complex to execute. I can trace it back as ‘found online’ and adjusted since, but originally it hails from South India.

Malabar murgh (chicken)
It’s one of the more elaborate recipes I know, learned from a friend from India. It hails from the southern coast, Malabar, hence the addition of coconut milk. It requires quite a few spices, but all of them should be east to get in most Asian stores.

Keralan Fish Curry
It’s a pretty simple curry I learned a recipe for in Cochin, Kerala in India. It does come out rather spicy, so do adjust the amount of chilli as desired

Arhar Dal
I learned this recipe in Kerala, in one of the local cooking schools in Kochi. It’s the most basic, foundational recipe in many Indian meals and an excellent source of protein. It’s best served with either rice and yoghurt or, even better – parathas.
