Gulgula is a traditional Indian deep-fried sweet dumpling made from a simple batter of whole wheat flour, mashed bananas or sugar, and a hint of fennel seeds.

These treats are beloved for their rustic, comforting sweetness and are often prepared during festivals or as a quick tea-time snack. Best served warm, gulgula offers a delightful contrast of textures and a subtle earthy flavor that makes it a timeless homemade dessert.

Corn and spinach usually gets made into a cheesy grilled sandwich at home, but we personally liked the soup, with all warming spices and no cream at all, it's a fuss free way to feed both spinach and corn to kids. Corn is great on fibre, and spinach is well, we have been told its great on vit a. All in all a great warm soup to dig in on a rainy/autumn/winter day.
