A small experiment to prepare khajoor (dates) laddoos. Here is the first batch trialed by adding almonds, cardamom, cashews & raisins. Checking the shelf life now. As dates are naturally sweet, skipped adding sugar #ChemistsWhoCook

How it started vs. how it’s going, summer edition 😅 Our neighbours gave us 7 kg of apricots (organic, homegrown etc)! Cue some sugar, some lemons from our garden and LOTS of stirring, and I got 18 jars of absolute yumminess 🥰 #ChemistsWhoCook

A two-day effort culminated in a chicken biriyani. Lots of fried onions, mint and cilantro accent marinated chicken and spiced rice. Served with a nice salad with radish and cucumber, and a mango lassi perfumed with cardamom. #chemistswhocook.

The recipes from @cheffinwithzach on Instagram are always tasty. These are chicken kofta kebabs, sumac onions, roasted tomatoes and a smoked paprika labneh, garlic and mayo sauce. Came together so well that I could have been eating it from a kebab house. #chemistswhocook.

Sushi rice bowl for my daughter. Seasoned sushi rice. On top, soy seared tuna, prawns, avocado, tamagoyaki, green onions, spicy mayo, homemade furikake. #chemistswhocook.

Sometimes the call of the burger beckons. This one is a double cheeseburger, adorned with lots of caramelized onions, mushrooms, pickles, lettuce, Dijon and mayo. #chemistswhocook.

Salmon on fire 🔥 #ChemistsWhoCook
