For the flavor of pepper to really stand out it has to be fresh. Buy whole peppercorns and grind them in a spice grinder or blender on high speed.

For a chicken, put the marinade on at the beginning, since it takes much less time to cook.

Notes & Variations

Replace black pepper with green or white pepper.
Garnish with pink peppercorns.

The Magic of Black Pepper.

Over time, black pepper’s magic has been forgotten and it has been relegated to a table or sprinkling spice. But when used singularly in copious amounts, black pepper has a gentle bite with a sweet fragrance.

LET'S GET MAGICAL.

Hoja Santa Chutney

Mango Chutney

This mango chutney is a cross between a Gujarati mango ‘chundo’ and a Sindhi pickle. It has all the sweet and spicy pleasures of a chutney, the aroma from the cardamom with a sharp after flavor from the mustard oil and kalonji seeds. Use it to dip snacks, alongside grilled meats or as a sandwich spread.

Caramelized Onions

If spices are the soul of Indian cooking, onions are the heart, especially in Northern Indian-style cooking. How you cut them, cook them, for how long, the color of the caramelization - all of this has an immense impact on the end result.

Mint Walnut Chutney

Chutneys are a versatile condiment to use wherever you want added flavor. Mint, coconut and toasted walnuts make a fantastic combination. The mint in this chutney causes it to oxidize rather quickly. To make sure it holds its green color we added some acid (lemon juice).

Garlic Masala Ghee
