... Fruit

There are so many fantastic options for cooking with fruit in Indian cuisine. The fruits that work best in Indian savoury dishes are those with a bit of sourness to them: lemons, obviously, but also green mangoes and gooseberries. Jackfruit is a fabulous workhorse when it comes to offering a meat-free option for a substantial main, and the sweet-sour nature of apricots is a great foil for earthy ingredients such as kidney beans. Don’t miss my mother’s recipe for Anuty Mona’s Green Mango Chutney – it’s so good you’ll want to eat it with everything.
