Soft Tofu:
Also known as silken tofu, soft tofu is a delicate, silky-textured soybean curd that's wonderfully versatile in both sweet and savory dishes. It can be transformed into creamy dips, used as a dairy-free substitute in desserts like tofu chocolate mousse, or featured in Asian-inspired stir-fries, where it absorbs the flavors of the dish. For an Indian twist, try "Tofu Tikka" β marinated and grilled tofu cubes.
Amla Powder:
Amla, or Indian gooseberry, is dried and powdered to create this tangy, vitamin C-packed ingredient. It can also be incorporated into smoothies and chutneys. Its often included in curries, chole bhature and others to give that amazing color. Globally, Amla powder is finding its place in wellness drinks and as a flavoring for sauces or salad dressings, adding a nutritious zing to various dishes.
Linguine:
Linguine, a type of pasta, is similar to spaghetti but flatter. It's versatile and serves as an excellent base for Italian classics. In India, it's increasingly used in fusion recipes like Spicy Masala Linguine, and more where Indian spices and flavors come together with the Italian pasta, creating a delightful blend.
Oyster Mushroom:
Oyster mushrooms, with their delicate flavor and meaty texture, can be used in diverse creations. They are incorporated into dishes like Oyster Mushroom Curry, soups, biryani but popularly they shine in favorites like Oyster Mushroom Stir-Fry or Grilled Oyster Mushroom Steaks, where their savory notes are front and center.
