Suji halva is staple dessert in Indian homes; we make it on auspicious days, a quick dessert, as an offering in temples, on a rainy or a cold day or just without any reason as it’s the easiest and the quickest sweet treat!! In this recipe I have made a twist to the traditional recipe, I added brewed filter coffee. The coffee gives the halva a distinct nuttiness and lifts up the caramelized taste of the halva.

coffee with cauliflower as the strong coffee would pair great with mild and nutty cauliflower. I roasted the cauliflower florets on a bed of coffee beans, served it on a smear of carrot hummus which is seasoned with Garam Masala and red rice and drizzled with chili oil. This dish can be served as a starter, side and main course as well.

Recently,I received a gift hamper from Jamaica Blue Cafe for launching their Seasonal Costa Rica Single Origin Coffee. One shot of this magic potion and I knew what I would love to create using this coffee which has chocolate and citrus notes: a chicken dish! Coffee and chicken are essential ingredients in my recipe repertoire. I love creating different dishes. Chicken is a protein with which flavor pairing is pretty easy and simple.
