    Jaggery and Cardamon Banana Cake

    To make this cake divine, use bananas that are very ripe – the ones that have brown flecks on the peel. Bananas contain tryptophan, an amino acid that helps your body produce serotonin, a natural substance that has a calming effect on the brain and can act as a gentle sedative.  I used dark jaggery and used a fine grater to grate it.  Go on try baking this cake.

    Pandan Cupcakes With Palm Sugar Frosting

    The cupcake itself is unique in flavour too. Instead of using the usual vanilla essence, the pandan leaves have been blended in the milk to give a natural aroma. If you cannot find fresh pandan leaves, you can use 1 teaspoon of pandan paste instead.

    Raspberry Lamingtons

    Raspberry lamingtons make very good party cakes.  It is not difficult to bake a batch of lamingtons at home. However I think it is best to make the lamingtons the day before the party.  You can store lamingtons for up to a week in the refrigerator.

Devagi Sanmugam

As a chef, spice curator, and author of over 20 cookbooks, my life revolves around the exquisite world of food. I am deeply passionate about experiencing food in all its forms—I love to see, touch, smell, hear, and feel the ingredients that create culinary magic. Each spice tells a story, every herb evokes a memory, and the textures of food bring joy to my senses. Traveling is not just a pastime for me; it is an essential part of my journey as a culinary educator. Exploring diverse cuisines around the world allows me to expand my knowledge and understanding of food, enriching both my cooking and teaching. I revel in discovering new flavors and techniques that I can share with others, igniting their own passion for cooking. This blog is a heartfelt expression of my love for food—a platform where I can share my culinary adventures, insights, and recipes. Join me as we explore global cuisine, celebrating the beautiful and delicious experiences that food offers.
