I come from a large family and we show our love with food. Most of us fall into one of two categories – we either love to cook, or we love to critique food. I fall into both categories. Being the youngest of four, I got away with doing the least amount of work. 🙂 This is one of those rare occasions my siblings will actually agree with me. lol....
Tindora (pronounced: tin-doH-raH) a.k.a ‘Coccinia Grandis’ are little fruits which resemble ‘gentleman’s toes’ (compare to ladies fingers). Sounds delicous already, huh? You can thank Wikipedia for that little nugget of information- excuse the pun. In my recipe the tindora are deep fried (mmm healthy). I’m really not selling this to you am I? But honestly, they are delicious and crispy fried with sweetcorn and spicy masala sauce.

Unless you’ve been holidaying in the North Pole you must have heard about all of the snow that’s been falling. Well okay, maybe I phrased that badly. In the UK it’s been unnaturally cold for the past two weeks, with temperatures reaching a glacial -20 degrees C! My car is wearing a snug blanket of bright white and probably complaining of frostbite through silent, icy whispers. People are hobbling through soft, pillowy mounds of snow as it crunches, pops and compacts under even the tiniest of feet....
