Roasted Garlic and Red Grape Delight.

Perfect for a warms summers day with a  refreshing and strong taste. The smell alone will have your mouth watering. Quick to make and even quicker to devour. This is one of my favourites. 

Ingredients:

Red Grapes, Garlic, Coriander, Green Chillies, Red Dried Chillies, Lime and Salt - The proportion of each ingredient is relative to how prominent you want each flavour to be.

Ranah:

Satni - Roast the garlic on an open flame, using a kebab skewer once roasted chop into small pieces. Finely chop the green chillies, dried red chillies and coriander and mix with the garlic. Using a pestle and mortar  lightly smash the coriander, garlic and chillies together, do not make into a paste. Sprinkle 1/4 tea spoon of salt as you mash everything together.

Ungor (Grapes) - Cut the grapes into thin slices. Squeeze half the lime over the grapes. Place the grapes into a container with lid, add the Satni and close the lid. You can also use a bowl with a plate over the top if you don't have a container with a lid. Shake the contents for a few minutes. 

Boloh:

This is adapted from a very traditional Bangladeshi dish. My Grandmother would make this for me when I would visit her in Bangladesh as a child. However she would not use grapes but Boroy (a Bengali fruit), Boroy Satni. This is defiantly a feel great dish for me. 

What are your feel good/comfort Desi dishes?
