Black Bean & Squash Veggie Burgers

We always have people with a variety of eating preferences & palates attending our BBQ's. In response, I've always had fun experimenting with flavors and making new burgers for our get-togethers. This time I want to share one that was tried and tested with our family recently and is sure to be a hit at your summer BBQ's. This soy-free veggie burger is packed with flavor, that plays off the herby cilantro and spicy BBQ sauce, topped with an avocado slice on a sesame seed bun.

Mango Curd Salad

Saturday (4/2) was Telugu New Year also known as Ugadi. It is usually celebrated with the reading of the New Years' almanac and traditional foods.

This year, we celebrated another Covid-19 style Ugadi. We had Lime Rice, Mango Curd Salad, Spinach Coconut Dal, Potato Fry, Papadums, Tamarind Chutney, Onion Pakora, Paneer Vada, and of course a little Ugadi Pachadi.

This year was dominated by complementary fruit dishes of Lime Rice and Mango Curd Salad. This delicious tropical side dish has just the right amount of warm savory, spiced coconut mixed with pert, slightly sweet tart green mango, evoking thoughts of warmer, happier days to come.


Here's my recipe for Mango Curd Salad:
