No matter how much you like cooking, time management always becomes a priority. With daily needs of cooking food that matches the culinary expertise of any Michelin Star restaurant is no less of a dream, right? But if the basic ingredients can be simplified to an extent that it saves time and also provides Chef-style taste for the dish?
Dabur Hommade by Dabur has been promoting smart cooking experiences with a Science Based Ayurveda technology since the last 13 years. Being one of the first brands to introduce a quicker and more convenient ways of cooking in Indian kitchens, the journey has been backed by celebrated chefs like Vikas Khanna who often uses Dabur Hommade range to simplify the cooking process and time.
Indian cuisine is incomplete if not for a tadka of Ginger-Garlic paste, which is why my mother has been a fan of Dabur Hommade Ginger Garlic Paste since forever. But what about adapting international cuisines in the Indian Kitchen? To prove that these base products by Dabur Hommade cut down on the cooking time and serve the richest content possible for great flavors, I picked up Dabur Hommade Ginger Garlic Paste and the thick Coconut Milk to create a Burmese Recipe.
To keep the cooking fair and give you an insight on how I cooked Khao Suey, a soupy wholesome Burmese Meal with Dabur Hommade products, I clicked some ‘In The Making’ photographs. Take a look at my recipe and how I prepared this interesting yet detailed food item from the oriental kitchen.

Although, this was my first time trying to make Burmese Khao Suey at home, Dabur Hommade range made the cooking process much easier and the recipe tastes exactly like I’ve had at great restaurants. The creamy richness of the Dabur Hommade Coconut Milk guarantees intense amount of coconut flavor with a texture that is smooth and buttery. It can be used to make Thai Curry, Coconut Thai Chicken Skewers and many other Coastal & Oriental delicacies quite easily.
As far as the Dabur Hommade Ginger Garlic paste is concerned, this mix is a savior for almost every Indian dish being prepared as the paste tends to provide a base to many vegetarian and non-vegetarian recipes alike.
Dabur Hommade range also consists of pure Ginger Paste, pure Garlic Paste, Tamarind Paste, Lemoneez Lemon Juice and the Tomato Puree. All these products ensure faster and tastier cooking experience and provide healthy eating experience due to Dabur’s organic approach towards producing a wide range of food products.
