The British Mixed Spice is an age-old Spice-blend used in British cooking in both sweet and savoury goods, especially during Christmas season. It has a warm, sweet-spicy aroma and flavour, perfect for winter cooking/baking.
Cashew butter is super easy and quick to conjure. You can make it with raw as well as baked/roasted cashew nuts. Add a little coconut oil if you prefer a creamier consistency. I baked the cashews and then blended them. If you have no time to bake/ roast them, you can even go for store-bought roasted and salted cashewnuts.

Harissa is a Chilli paste/sauce from Tunisia and used widely in Tunisian and Moroccan cuisines. You can use it to flavour your dishes or even use it as is as a dip. In fact, that’s how the locals generally enjoy it; as a dip with Pita bread.
The Plum CHutney is a Mangalorean sweet chutney consisting of bananas, dates, mint, raisins and surprise surprise, no plums! Perfect accompaniment to the Mangalorean Sweet Pulao
