description: Discover Maunika Gowardhan's mouthwatering recipes, inspired by her travels in Kerala
encoded: One of the most stunning regions within southern India is undoubtedly the state of Kerala. Most people I speak to who have visited always rave about the scenic views, food, culture and the local people. My first trip and introduction to the Malayali community was at the age of 12 when I made a trip to travel with family and friends across the city. Ever since, I have been so many times to explore the city, cuisine and also, by chance, for a family wedding. Seeing the varied communities within one region including Christians, Muslims and Hindus, and the differences in cooking styles, fascinates me. For instance, the Malayali Hindus have a unique cooking style with recipes and traditions which include religious practices that differ to the Christian and Muslim communities in Kerala. The prevalence of cooking fish, meat or poultry within the coastal region have come from the culinary influences of the Christian and Muslim families. A region renowned for its use of black pepper in curries and stir-fried dishes much before chillies made an entry into India. For me, delving into Syrian Christian cooking holds joyous memories as a young girl. I always turned to Mariam, a lovely lady who left Kerala to join our family home and brought along with her an abundance of local knowledge and recipes that I have adored. This in its truest form is where my love for (and introduction to) Kerala and its people began. She used to cook the most delicious avial (potato curry) and plenty of fish, as well as meat curries, too. She would share stories of her hometown and how they grew local veg, went fishing and ground spices. I could listen for ages and that is one of the reasons I thoroughly enjoy visiting Kerala even today. Maunika Gowardhan's Keralan dishes Kerala fish moilee This is best made with fish steaks, which are held together with the help of a centre bone and ensure the fish stays intact (ask the fishmonger to do this).

Maunika says: "Last year during my travels in Kerala I ate this Peralan chicken and loved the flavours. Most family homes I’ve eaten this dish at have cooked the chicken separately to the gravy, although I prefer to make it all at the same time rather than in stages. Chicken peralan has heat, so tailor the level of spice based on how much you prefer. Vinegar, pepper and fennel add so much more flavour, as well as a gorgeous aroma while complementing spices such as mustard seeds and curry leaves. Serve with rice, paratha or pathiri."

Read our guide from Indian columnist Maunika Gowardhan then check out more Indian recipes and Maunika's podcast about how to perfect Indian cooking. Now find out how to celebrate Holi. What is Diwali? The hugely popular festival of lights, Diwali, falls on 20 October this year. The five-day celebrations begins with Hindu rituals, fireworks amid the festivities and, of course, delicious food shared with family and friends. Diwali celebrates hope, positivity and happiness. The lighting of diyas and rows of lanterns signifies the triumph of light over darkness, and good over evil, within the Hindu, Sikh and Jain communities. My fondest memories of Diwali have been celebrating with my family in Mumbai. Diwali coincides with Hindu New Year and our home is filled with lanterns to mark the occasion. Now, living in Britain, I prepare for the festival with equal excitement and, in the lead up to Diwali, the front of our home is lit up with tea lights, lanterns and rangoli (an Indian coloured pattern). Cooking an Indian feast with a delicious variety of curries, flatbreads, raita, salad and veggie side dishes, plus a lovely dessert to end the meal, is what the festivities are all about. When cooking for the family and friends I always have a variety of pickles, chutneys and poppadoms on offer on the dinner table. These add an extra dimension of tastes and textures to make an Indian meal more elaborate. Snacks include aloo tikkis and tandoori skewers followed by biryanis and curries. Diwali also means an array of Indian sweets, including barfi and laddoos, which I love to share and send to family and friends during the celebrations. Diwali foods to try Barfi (Diwali sweets) An Indian milk-based sweet fudge made using ground cardamom and nuts. Barfi come in a variety of flavours including mango, ground pistachio, saffron and even chocolate. Another version of this is kalakand, made w…

description: Learn about Holi, the Hindu festival of colours, love and spring, through recipes from Indian chef and food writer Maunika Gowardhan
encoded: Looking for recipes and foods to try to celebrate Holi? Read our guide from Indian food writer Maunika Gowardhan then check out more Indian recipes and Maunika's podcast about how to perfect Indian cooking. Recipes extracted from Thali: A Joyful Celebration of Indian Home Cooking by Maunika Gowardhan (Hardie Grant, £22) and photography by Sam A. Harris and Tandoori Home Cooking by Maunika Gowardhan (Hardie Grant, £25), photography by Issy Croker. What is Holi? Holi, the Indian festival of colours, is celebrated to mark the arrival of spring and the passing of winter. Celebrated on 14 March this year, it always falls on a full moon. Indian mythology signifies Holi as a festival of letting go of the old and bringing in the new; a time to forget the mistakes of the past and begin with renewed hope and strength to create meaningful relations with friends and family. How is Holi celebrated? The night before the festival is marked with bonfires, with coconut, corn and chickpeas thrown into the flames as offerings of gratitude. Pujas (ceremonial worship and prayers) are held on the occasion. The day is filled with fun, joy, and most definitely indulging in good food and drink. As a young girl, throwing gulal (coloured powders) and water balloons with family and friends had to be the best part of this holiday for me. Just remember to wear white or lighter colours as the gulal can stain. The festival transcends religion and caste, and bridges gaps in society, bringing people together. Holi food to celebrate the occasion Sweet and savoury snacks are a big part of Holi. There isn’t a specific meal, although lots of variety is served throughout the day. From samosas, chaat and mirchi vadas to the most wonderful vegetarian curries and plenty of sweets, including jalebis, barfi and malpuas. Karanji One of my favourite foods to celebrate Holi has to be gujiya or karanji, a crispy pastry filled with coconut. These were my favourite snacks when I was growing up and something I still…

How to make chilli paneer… step-by-step video View Green Video on the source website Maunika says, "Indian Chinese food is loved across the sub-continent and takes its influences from the east of India, with the community migrating east to the city of Kolkata for better job opportunities. With the Hakka Chinese community came their wonderful cuisine, culture, eating habits and dishes that satiated the local appetite. Leading to setting up the Chinatown within the city with dishes that were tailor-made to suit the Indian palate. Think chilli garlicky dishes, crispy fried, stir fried and coated in a delicious gravy. Having grown up in Mumbai, one of my favourite places to visit was always China Garden for my indo Chinese food fix. Set up by the legendary Nelson Wang, it created a brand that made this cuisine widely popular. From Hakka noodles, Manchurian chicken, chilli chicken and gobi Manchurian. There was so much to choose from. Chilli paneer is a vegetarian dish, popular at street carts in India. It is coated in a batter and fried. The paneer is then tossed in a garlic and chilli flavoured sauce. Perfect to eat with egg fried rice or even some noodles." Chilli paneer fry recipe

Sunday morning brunch with dhal pakwan has always been my favourite. For this recipe I have used amchoor (dried mango powder), which gives that tart/tangy flavour to the dhal. You can add a touch more tamarind paste if you are not using amchoor. Also, check the strength of the tamarind as you might add more or less depending on how sharp it is.” Maunika Gowardhan is a chef, food writer and author of Indian Kitchen: Secrets of Indian Home Cooking and Thali: A Joyful Celebration of Indian Home Cooking.

Tamarind paste varies in strength, so adjust the quantity to get the required tart, sour flavour in the curry.”

Tinned chickpeas work well although traditionally you would use safed vatana (dried white peas). Also make sure to check the strength of the tamarind paste you are using so you can adjust as required."
