Tamarind Is the Flavor of 2023
Bhutta Bhel
Bhel or bhel puri is a chaat (street food snack) that is all at once crunchy, tart (thanks to tamarind), spicy and a little sweet. This dish is ubiquitous in Mumbai and is often made to order with puffed rice and other ingredients.
One-Pot Mushroom Biryani with Tamarind and Coconut Milk
This mushroom biryani, slow cooked, layered with South Indian spices and garnished with crunchy nuts, is supremely aromatic and a meal unto itself.
Tamarind Pineapple Quencher
Tamarind spiced with coriander is simmered into a rich syrup, making it a true delight in this juicy no-alcohol drink. Fresh pineapple and coconut water add to the tropical cocktail-like vibes. It’s best enjoyed reclining at the beach or just pretending you're at one.

This 1930s-era cake swaps out the expected milk, butter and eggs—which are expensive—for water, oil and vinegar. And, yet, the cake still comes out fluffy, light and not a bit dry.
Magic Ice Cream
This recipe was born during the mid-1900s when Jell-O was all the rage. Just grab a packet of gelatin—you pick the flavor—mix in some milk, fold in whipped cream and freeze overnight.

Recipe Trends to Try
No-Bake Yuzu Cheesecake
Yuzu is an incredibly aromatic citrus fruit from East Asia that tastes like a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange. Used in both sweet and savory applications, yuzu makes everything taste more special, and its elegant flavor works beautifully with this creamy and light no-bake cheesecake.
XO Sauce
XO sauce originated in Hong Kong in the 1980s and is usually credited to Spring Moon restaurant at the Peninsula Hotel. It's easy to make and perfect for zhuzhing.
Crab Stick Crackers with Crab Dip
Imitation crab sticks can do more than fill California rolls or kani salad. Here they double as dippers and creamy dip.

In this amped-up version of a classic Neapolitan dish, we add lemon zest for a hit of brightness then top it all off with finely grated hard-boiled eggs (a technique from Tik Tok) to emphasize the beautiful egg flavor and give the dish an unexpected fluffy texture.
Scoopable Green Chopped Salad
Inspired by Melissa Ben-Ishay's (@bakedbymelissa) TikTok viral chopped salad, this vibrant crunchy-creamy dish is a salad, but it’s meant to be scooped up with chips.
