Tradition Calls For Sweet And Spicy This Easter

Easter Recipes Sweet and Spicy

Easter is the perfect excuse to indulge in delicious treats with your loved ones. We all have grown up with the delightful stories of hot cross buns, and the hunt for the Easter egg. While these are the traditional food ideas we have about Easter. Last year I had blogged all about how I learned about the relevance of Easter and even shared some interesting anecdotes and recipes from friends who celebrate the festival. This year I decided to take a step further and unravel more mysteries around it. So I went around hunting for more and this is what I have to share.

If you thought Easter food and celebration is about only Easter Eggs, you are mistaken.

So this year bringing you something sweet, something spicy from the Traditional Easter Recipe. Why Sweet and Spicy?

When sweet is added to spice, the heat is mitigated allowing the taste of the spice to be better captured and appreciated without burning one’s taste buds. When spice is added to sweet, it gives food an unexpected kick. So without much ado.

Tada!! Pork Vindaloo!!

The traditional Goan pork dish flavored with chilies, garlic and vinegar. It’s spicy and tangy at the same time. Leaves your taste buds tingling for more. Serve with rice or crusty rolls. Vin is for Vinegar and Ahlo means Garlic in Portuguese. But in India Aloo means Potatoes, so the dish is called Vindaloo.
