New Update

TV show host, anchor, former model, and cookbook author Padma Lakshmi's recipes always make for an exciting addition to meals.

From chutneys to dips, Padma often takes to Instagram to share some of her favourite recipes, along with a heart-warming story to it.

Recently, she shared a coleslaw recipe which was unlike any coleslaw you have tasted before. She wrote in her caption, "This spicy, refreshing coleslaw is based on a taste memory from when Littlehands (her daughter, Krishna) was a toddler. We used to visit a little spot called Snack Dragon in Alphabet City, that's now closed. They had the best tacos and a super spicy coleslaw, which I LOVED."

Her chipotle coleslaw recipe uses fresh veggies, a fruit, the Indian pantry staple dahi, and a surprise Mexican element that adds the smoky heat to this coleslaw. Padma shares that this can be enjoyed with fried chicken or any kind of tacos like steak tacos, chicken tacos or black bean tacos.
