Orange Anise Sauce Recipe for Meatless Monday

by

I love sticky sauces. But I don’t make them enough because of the sugar content. If you buy these bottled, you can be sure they are made with corn syrup or some such processed food item. While making them at home, I never seem to add enough sugar. I just can’t!

Another thing I love is citrus flavors. Orange dressings, orange flavored cakes and biscuits, orange based stir frys – I have done them all. But never a sticky orange sauce because of the sugar problem. I decided to try another route this time and go with a semi homemade option. The resulting sauce is yummy – sweet, tangy and spicy all at the same time, it is a feast for orange lovers. And I didn’t even add any of that zest!

This Orange Anise Sauce recipe is something I will be making for years to come. The best place to get a star anise is probably your neighborhood Indian grocery. Or maybe the international foods aisle in Walmart. You can also just order it online from a place like Amazon.

The recipe is as follows –

Ready to try it out? Make sure you remove the anise once the sauce is done.

  3. With India at my heart, it is quite difficult to figure out my favorite recipe here.. But if I go down the memory lane, I remember how I get drooling over the name of Chola Bhatura since childhood. It was my Mom’s tradition at our home Allahabad (Uttar Pradesh) to prepare Chola Bhatura atleast once a month. … Those authentic punjabi chole with the puffed up delicious bhatura is truly incomparable. It is that exotic Indian dish which can make everyone its Deewana… The best part of having the dish is the fun we use to have.. kaun sa bhatura jyada bada size ka bana ( bazaar jaisa) … kaun sa haldiram size ka bana.. .Lolzzzz… It is fun yaar… Oopsss m again drooling :p :p No doubt it uses lot of oil, yet with the evolving technologies and awareness…now also tradition is there and we always wait for that one day in a month to have a delicious plate of Chola Bhatura prepared by my Mom… 🙂 🙂
