culinary joy: passion-fruit jelly garnished with curd and lemon balm


A delicate dessert on hot days is a cold fruit jelly garnished with self made curd and home grown lemon balm. 


The milk for the curd we get from a neighbor cow, which is fed by the organic grown grass of our Sylviander House garden. Sometimes we make smoothies from this grass, mixed with some medicinal herbs wildly growing along the wall in my ‘weed cultivation‘, then drink it in the morning before breakfast. 


How fast our 3 passion fruit plants grow and spread, we never expected – we planted it last year … 


Passion fruits we can harvest from May to November – right now slowly the fruits are getting less. 


When there are not many passion fruits, I mix the jelly with pineapple which we get all the year or with Mango which we get on the market from March to June. 


This fruit jelly with curd and lemon balm sprinkled with some sesame we can also combine with a crispy Roti, which is a kind of keralese pancake without egg. This is a nice breakfast too.
