BETTER WITH SPICE
Recipes
Welcome to Better With Spice, a selection of recipes, travel guides to some of my favourite restaurants along with tips and tricks to elevate your cooking.
Growing up in India and now calling Sydney home, my cooking style weaves together a treasured knowledge of spices with the joy of discovering and reimagining new dishes in my kitchen.
From quick curries layered with flavour, simple weeknight meals, sides and dips, to spice-filled baking, my recipes are quick, fresh and easy to recreate at home. Follow along and fall in love with cooking, and you’ll slowly realise that everything really is, better with spice.

Vegan Coconut Rice Pudding
Try my creamy vegan coconut rice pudding inspired by traditional Indian kheer. This dairy-free dessert features cardamom, cinnamon, and coconut milk for a plant-based comfort food that you can eat for breakfast or dessert.
Homemade Bagels
I love a toasted bagel sandwich, so here’s my recipe for fresh homemade bagels which you can use for sandwiches or eating plain, schmeared with cream cheese.
Rich Vegan Hot Chocolate
A thick, vegan hot chocolate recipe that uses ground dates, nuts and flaxseeds for a smooth, velvety texture. It’s also packed with nutrients and is perfect for enjoying by itself or with a sweet treat.
Sticky Spiced Roasted Plums
The perfect use of seasonal stone fruit, this recipe combines plums with cinnamon, star anise and a splash of balsamic vinegar, served with vanilla ice cream or dollop cream for the perfect dessert.
Chocolate Tahini Banana Bread
Transform overripe bananas into my delicious tahini chocolate banana bread with this easy recipe. The bread has a moist, fluffy texture with nutty tahini and rich chocolate swirls.
Chocolate Cherry Hot Cross Buns
My take on the classic Hot Cross Buns, made slightly devious with dark chocolate, cinnamon, coffee and cherries. Serve these buns warm out of the oven, or toasted and slathered with butter.
Chorizo & Roasted Pepper Sandwich
I’m pretty much always up for a good sandwich, and this version with toasted sourdough, roasted red bell peppers, Chorizo, Chimichurri and fried eggs hits the spot every time.
My Everyday Oatmeal
I eat this oatmeal every day at work and it never fails. It’s creamy, plant-based and spiced with cinnamon. With chia seeds and flax seeds for extra nutrition, it’s healthy and a great vegan meal prep breakfast.
10 Minute Blueberry Ricotta Toast With Hot Honey
This blueberry toast recipe comes together in 10-minutes and can be eaten for breakfast, brunch or a snack.
