About
| This hearty soup is filling by itself but can also be served over rice. The delicate spicing brings together the simple flavours of the chickpeas, squash and spinach. |
This recipe is from Chetna Makan’s wonderful book Chetna’s Healthy Indian. Chetna draws inspiration from her family to show off healthy Indian home cooking at its best, working with few ingredients and straight-forward methods to produce dishes with crowd-pleasing flavour, nourishment and comfort.
We were lucky to meet Chetna in 2019 at the British Dal Festival where she talked enthusiastically about her love of dal and demonstrated one of the many dal recipes from the book.

An old-fashioned classic, upgraded for more plant diversity, more fibre, and, dare I say it, more flavour too! Instead of using just oats in crumble bars, try our four grain muesli base. You can make the crumble bars with either a caramelly date filling or a fresh, tart berry filling.
These traditional potato cakes are named “farls” from the Gaelic word fardel, meaning quarter. A central part of an Ulster fry, farls are popular across Northern Ireland. Making them at home is simple and requires minimal ingredients: some left-over mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and just enough flour to bind.
This simple and naturally sweet recipe is a delicious and nourishing alternative to traditional grain-based granola. Packed with crunch from brazil nuts, seeds, and flaked almonds, it’s full of healthy fats, fibre and plant protein - perfect for a sustaining breakfast or snack. The chia fruit compote adds a bright, jammy contrast, thickened naturally with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
