add coriander, green chilli, ginger and chopped dry coconut to the batter. mix it very well.

French Fries Recipe

Ingredients 12 cups   grapeseed or canola oil 3  large  russet potatoes Kosher salt Instructions   1. In a tall 8-quart soup pot, heat the oil over high heat until it reaches 300 F on a deep-fat thermometer. Keep the thermometer attached to the side of the pot at all times.   2.

Vegan Macarons

Okay, I’m a bit late on the macaron trend. They were the hot ticket item a few years ago. I’m sure many people have moved on to some other food obsession. Not me, I have been dying to challenge myself by making VEGAN macarons. INGREDIENTS 150 ml of prepared aquafaba* 200 grams almond flour 200 grams confectioners’ sugar Food coloring (optional) 200 grams (1 cup) of white sugar 60 ml (1/4 cup) water INSTRUCTIONS Drain the water from a large can of chickpeas into a small sauce pan. Simmer the liquid until it reduces slightly and reaches a consistency similar to egg whites. Measure out 150 ml and set it aside to cool to room temperature. If you have more than 150ml, you can put the rest in the fridge and save it for another recipe. Sift the almond flour and confectioners sugar into a large bowl. You may have to work in batches, using a rubber spatula to push the mixture through. Once you’ve sifted it all, give it a whisk and make sure it is evenly blend
