Rice noodles with pork and sichuanese peanut sauce
Alright, this recipe isn’t original – I just came up with it inspired by a wave of TikTok videos on peanut sauce. It bears only a passing resemblance to what I watched, and I just improvised it based on years of cooking Sichuanese food.

Besan (chickpea) ladoo
It’s one of my favourite Indian sweets, very popular around Diwali, but also commonly eaten on regular days. There are plenty of varieties, this one is one of the simpler ones in terms of ingredients and preparation.
