    Lina Gautam's Chana Chatpat (Chickpea Chatpat)

    As tasty as it is wholesome, this quick and easy snack brings together a rainbow of cheerful flavours, from bright lemons and sweet red onions to aromatic coriander – all with a cheeky chili kick!

    Lina Gautam's Chicken Pulao: Today

    I grew up enjoying this simple but tasty rice dish which my mom used to make now and then when she was in a good mood. This is a very simple dish to impress your guests instead of plain rice with some side dishes or relish.

    Lina Gautam's Tomato Chutney

    Lina Gautam's Tomato Chutney: Today

    This is a very popular dish which goes very well with pilau rice. I use this as a bread or wrap spread for cheese and ham sandwiches which gives that extra flavour and variation to the ordinary sandwich! You can even use this dish as a sauce for your pasta or spaghetti.
