| South Indian Curd Rice [Thair Sadam] | |
Adapted from one of my favourite cookbooks "Dakshin" by Chandra Padmanabhan, this side dish is a true South Indian classic. Seasoned cooks have their own special versions and some of the best Curd Rice I have sampled has been made by my aunt and in the South Indian Buffet of the "Ganges" restaurant in Singapore. Almost akin to the widely known and accepted raita, curd rice has the lovely, fluffy texture of rice and the tangy aroma of curry leaves and green chillies.

| Marinated Olives with Lemon & Fennel | |
This recipe from an old June 2003 issue of The Australian Table Magazine sounded really interesting. It turned out amazing, I might be partial to it, coz I am a compulsive olive popper. The recipe said to cover with extra-virgin oil, but since it was a lot, I drained it a bit before serving.

| Hearty Cream Of Spinach Soup [Palak Ka Shorba] | |
This is a great source of iron and antioxidants for toddlers and adults alike. It is simple to make, extremely nutritious and full of hearty, buttery flavour. I use frozen spinach portions for a quicker option, but fresh spinach will work equally well.

| Potato Kootu | |
"Kootu" is a semi-solid side dish from Tamil Nadu in Southern India. A vegetable stew of sorts, kootu is also made with lentils. The absence of sour ingredients like tomato and tamarind is widespread, but this kootu recipe calls for 'tamarind' to impart it a tangy flvour.

| Pear And Cinnamon Cake | |
The sweetness of baked pears is rivalled beautifully by the tartness of the cinnamon. The smell that will permeate your house when you bake this will make your guests want to skip straight ahead to dessert.

| White Bean And Leek Soup | |
You can soak the cannellini beans overnight and make this gorgeous, light soup from scratch. For me, a can of store-bought cannellini beans works just fine and is heaps quicker.

| Lemon Polenta Crisps [Biscuits] | |
I adapted this recipe from the Australian Women's Weekly 'Cakes, Biscuits & Slices' last Christmas. I wanted a visual contrast to the dark and handsome gingerbread biscuits I was making. These turned out just delicious. The first time I made them, I used the polenta as is and I noticed a slight, sticky crunch [very interesting texture-wise]. So the next time around, I dry roasted the polenta in a skillet over low heat, tossing and agitating constantly, so that the polenta was a delicate shade warmer. This time the crunch was perfect! Make them chubby or thin crisps, these biscuits are made for popping in your mouth.
