Easy Chocolate Chilli Fudge~5 Ingredients or Less #SundaySupper

You look to create complex dishes recurrently, but sometimes its the simplest of things that surprise you!Simple pleasures that require no extra effort and yet bring you this immense joy.Joy in the form of a chocolatey delight that only takes 5 ingredients to make!Its soft, moist, chewy and decadent!This week our #SundaySupper group is contributing recipes featuring Dishes with 5 Ingredients or Less hosted by the lovely Amber Poole!

For somebody who's not much of a baker, this is my ideal kind of dessert, since it requires no baking and tastes delicious!This fudge is the easiest treat you could ask for with no effort and it comes out perfect every single time.Its a perfect treat for those night time cravings that creep-up after you had your dinner and the kids are tucked in bed!A perfect little bite of soft indulgence that melts in your mouth.


Once the mixture is in the baking pan, you should leave it for at least 2 hours, but my kids were not patient enough and forced me to take it out earlier.As a result they don't look perfect, but believe me if you leave it for the stipulated time, it will set properly and come out better looking :) The chilli in this fudge gives just the right amount of heat in the background without disturbing the balance of flavors.Easy, rich, foolproof chocolatey treat for your sweet cravings~

Curried Apple and Leek Soup ~ Autumn Apple Party #SundaySupper

Come autumn and the crisp cool air just feels so good in the mornings.I'm enjoying this transition of the weather and the lovely warm and comforting foods that come along with it!Talking about autumn, its also the season of Apples!.This lovely fruit is one of my most favorite things to cook/bake with and I can think of so many ways to use them in my sweet and savory creations.So when my friend Cindy from Cindy's Recipes and Writings suggested 'Autumn Apple Party' as the title for this #SundaySupper I jumped with excitement :)



I'm bringing a savory item for this event and its already becoming a family favorite, going by the verdict of my 4 and 9 year olds :)Its my creamy Curried Apple and Leek Soup that has so many varied flavors that tickle your palette in just the right ways.I found the original recipe at All Recipes and added my own twist with the bacon and paprika! The soup is slightly acidic from the Granny Smith Apples,with a slight hint and heat of the spices combined with the creaminess of the potatoes. The flavors further elevate with the garnish of the salty, crisp bacon!One bowl full of goodness for this Fall~

Indian Spiced Chicken Meatballs ~Its Tailgating time!! #SundaySupper


Its tailgating time!!'I learnt about 'tailgating' only after we moved to America!For those who do not know what it signifies 'a tailgate party is a social event held on and around the open tailgate of a vehicle. Tailgating often involves consuming alcoholic beverages and grilling food. Tailgate parties usually occur in the parking lots, stadiums and arenas, before and occasionally after games and concerts.' {Source-Wikipedia}.Having said that, you don't really have to be at the game venues to enjoy a tailgating party.You can have it indoors or outdoors, with a group of friends or lounge on your own!Its a great way to enjoy some great foods that are easy to make and eat!Its the start of the football season and my friend Lane from Supper for a Steal  proposed ‘tailgating foods’ for this Sunday Supper!


I'm bringing Chicken Meatballs for this event that has just the right flavors with an Indian twist!My meatballs are moist, juicy, perfectly sized to munch-on while watching your favorite team play!These balls are crunchy and rustic looking on the outside but incredibly soft on the inside with the lovely mint and coriander marrying beautifully giving them lots of fresh flavor.The best thing about these are that the food processor does all the work for you so you don’t have to work out a sweat in preparing them :) They’re super easy, delicious and certain to please kids and adults :)
