- Boil 1 lb. of Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Heat fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once cooked, press the potatoes through a potato ricer to create a smooth texture.
- Add 1 TBSP of ghee or coconut oil and fold into riced potato mixture.

Kolmi/Kalmi Fried Shrimp
Ingredients:
Corn flour, rice flour, dehydrated garlic, sugar, spices, salt, maltodextrin, turmeric, citric acid, lemon juice solids, extractives of ginger and not more than 2% silicon dioxide used as a processing aid.
Steps:
- Peel and de vein 12 jumbo shrimp (16-20 count size).
- Heat fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Toss shrimp in 2 TBSP of Kolmi/Kalmi Fry Seasoning.

Rose Water and Cardamom Cornmeal Cake
Ingredients:
Corn flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, spices, natural flavors and not more than 2% silicon dioxide used as a processing aid.
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the full 8 oz jar of Rose Water and Cardamom Seasoning, 3 large eggs plus 1 yolk, 1 cup of vegan creamer (we recommend Califia brand creamer in coconut flavor for this recipe), and 1/4 cup of coconut oil. Mix well.
- Grease a large muffin tray and pour the mixture evenly into each of the cups; they should be about 3/4 of the way full.
- Place the filled tray on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Step 5 for the Rose Water and Cardamom recipe, I had a typo. It says “Bring it to a boil making sure the sugar is completely melted, and set aside.” There should be an additional comma so it reads, “Bring it to a boil, making sure the sugar is completely melted, and set aside.”
- Once the cakes are fully cooked, remove them from the muffin tray and allow them to cool for 15-20 minutes on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, brush the cakes with the simple syrup and cool for another 20-30 minutes before serving.
- Serve with ice cream or chutney or drizzle with coconut cream.
