The best part about the changing seasons in India is the abundant availability of fruits and vegetables that vary every other month. As dull as winter may seem, it gives us some of the most colourful and juiciest fruits and vegetables including carrots, leafy greens, strawberries, and pears. One of the many fruits that are often enjoyed in their dried form is figs, especially during the festive season. Interestingly, more often than not in the sweet or dessert form, but there is a lot more to explore say Indian chefs.
Every year, fresh figs are available briefly during the December – January season when winter is at its peak. However, many people do not explore it as much as they should due to a lack of knowledge on how to use it beyond eating it plain, like every other fruit on the cart near your home. However, chefs say you can start by putting on your chef’s hat and entering the kitchen to not only use them in your salads but also add them to a classic egg nog to make the most of them.
