I don’t own an ice-cream maker, as I have no space in my kitchen to store one,” admits Maunika Gowardhan, author of Tandoori Home Cooking. “It’s probably the reason why I have always aimed to come up with a no-churn ice-cream recipe that really works. This cheat’s ice cream is made with double cream and condensed milk flavoured by green cardamom, rose water, dried rose petals and pistachios. Easy to mix, freeze and serve, and delicious to eat.” No-churn rose and cardamom ice cream Serves: 4 Ingredients: 8 green cardamom pods (seeds only) 280ml double cream 2 tbsp rose water 1 x 400g can condensed milk 1 tbsp dried rose petals 20g pistachios, roughly chopped Method: 1. Grind the green cardamom seeds in a pestle and mortar to a fine powder. 2. In a bowl, whisk the cream with the rose water and cardamom powder until soft peaks form. Next, lightly fold the condensed milk, dried rose petals and most of the crushed pistachios into the whipped cream. 3. Transfer the ice-cream mixture into a freezerproof, airtight container. Scatter the remaining pistachios over the top of the ice cream and place in the freezer for six to eight hours, or preferably overnight. 4. When ready to serve, let the ice cream stand at room temperature for five to 10 minutes to soften slightly, then scoop into individual bowls.

Some classics are hard to resist,” says Maunika Gowardhan, author of Tandoori Home Cooking. “This tandoori chicken tikka has been a constant in my cooking repertoire for as long as I can remember. I use the double marination technique here. “Of course, you can grill the skewers without doubling up on the marinade to coat the chicken at the end — it will turn out just as tasty.” Tandoori chicken tikka Serves: 4 Ingredients: You will need wooden skewers soaked in cold water for 30 minutes 640g boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces Butter, for basting and cooking Juice of ½ lime Generous pinch of chaat masala For the marinade: 3 garlic cloves 2.5cm ginger root, peeled 6 tbsp Greek yoghurt 2 heaped tsp chickpea flour 1½ tsp Kashmiri chilli powder. ¼ tsp garam masala 2 tsp ground coriander ½ tsp ground cinnamon ½ tsp saffron strands, crushed 1 tbsp dried fenugreek leaves (kasoori methi), crushed Pinch of sugar Salt, to taste Method: 1. To make the marinade, grind the garlic and ginger with a splash of water in a blender to a smooth paste. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yoghurt with the chickpea flour. Mix well to get rid of any lumps and form a thick paste. Add the ginger and garlic paste, chilli powder, garam masala, coriander, cinnamon, saffron, dried fenugreek, sugar and salt. Stir well, mixing everything to a smooth consistency. 2. Put two tablespoons of the marinade in a small bowl and set aside. 3. Add the chicken to the bowl and mix well to make sure each piece is coated in the thick marinade. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate in the fridge for two to three hours, or preferably overnight. 4. Preheat the grill to a medium heat. Line a baking tray with foil and place a wire rack over the tray. 5. Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers and place them on the wire rack. Place the tray under the grill and cook for 17-18 minutes. Turn the skewers halfway through the cooking time and baste with the melted butter until the chicken is lightly charred around the edges and cooked through. 6. Meanwhile, transfer the reserved marinade to a small frying pan. Place over a medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, for five minutes until the marinade reduces and thickens. Add two teaspoons of butter and turn off the heat. Transfer the cooked marinade to a bowl. 7. Take the chicken off the skewers and add it to the bowl with the marinade along with the lime juice and chaat masala. Stir well to make sure the chicken is evenly coated. Serve warm with salad and naan or roti. Recipe from ‘Tandoori Home Cooking’ by Maunika Gowardhan (Hardie Grant, £25).

A new "toxic" trend is taking over TikTok that involves people comparing their body measurements to Bella Hadid – and some users are concerned. While social media can sometimes be a force for good, other corners of the internet have received several side eyes for their damaging messages. A quick TikTok search into 'Bella Hadid measurements' will reveal hundreds of videos of people sharing their measurements. As we know, Hadid is a supermodel and the comparisons haven't sat easily with many users, as it perpetuates unrealistic beauty standards. "When Bella Hadid’s measurements are 34-24-32 and mine are 31-22-33," one person wrote in a viral clip that's racked up almost half a million likes. The TikToker went on to call the measurements a "big flex in my life." Another person wrote: "POV I have the same measurements as Bella Hadid, nothing can hurt my feelings, I don't care". Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter While the clips are seemingly intended to be lighthearted, many more TikTokers have hit back at its "toxic" roots – especially given TikTok is predominantly a Gen-Z app. Creator Felix (@fmjat) raised the concern, asking viewers: "Aren’t these Bella Hadid measurements low-key a step back backward and hypocritical?" @fmjat bare in mind these are the same gurlies saying all bodys r beautiful 🥹😏 #bellahadid #bodypositivity #models #modelcommunity #bodyimage His clip was met with people who agreed on the matter, with one writing: "Like.. the trend is so bad for impressionable teens/ppl on this app with eating disorders." Another user simply put it: "The fixation on bodies is tiring." Meanwhile, a third person chimed in: "Can we all say the things we like ab our bodies and accept the fact that we’re all gonna see things we don’t relate to without freaking out."
