Last Updated:
These chef-crafted recipes brings out the rich flavour of pistachios in a deliciously creative way.
Pistachios aren't just a nutritious snack on their own—they're also a versatile ingredient that can elevate your everyday munchies into something truly special. From sweet to salty, these pistachio-based snack recipes add a delightful crunch, rich flavour, and a healthy twist to your plate.
Renowned chefs Sanjeev Kapoor and Shivesh Bhatia have teamed up with American Pistachio Growers to showcase the versatility of pistachios in a trio of irresistible recipes. Whether it's the golden, crispy Pistachio Churros, the refreshing Pick Me Up Pista Bomb, or the savoury, spice-kissed Khasta Pepper Pista, each dish brings out the flavour of this nut in a deliciously creative way, proving that indulgence can be both bold and wholesome.
Pistachio Churros by Chef Shivesh Bhatia
Ingredients
1 cup water
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Sunflower oil, for frying
For the coating
Add the water, sugar, and butter to a saucepan & bring the mixture to a boil.
Once the water has boiled, turn off the heat & add flour. Stir in the flour till it forms a dough.
Place the pan on the heat again and cook the dough till it becomes shiny and starts sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Let the dough cool a little and add in the egg & vanilla. Mix till the egg is well incorporated.
Add the dough to a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe the churros in hot oil.
Let the churros become golden brown & crispy. Once done, drain them on a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
Mix the castor sugar and cinnamon powder. Coat the churros in the mixture.
For the pistachio paste, add the pistachios, oil, and sugar to a blender. Blitz till it forms a smooth paste.
With a metal straw, make holes in the centre of the churros, and fill them with the pistachio paste. Serve hot with more pistachio paste.

Lone Survivor Of Ahmedabad Plane Crash Discharged From Hospital
Last Updated: Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, a British citizen, miraculously survived the Ahmedabad plane crash that killed 241 other passengers on the ill-fated Air India flight. Ramesh Vishwas Kumar, the lone survivor of last week's Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, has been discharged from the Civil Hospital after he showed signs of recovery. Kumar is a British citizen of Indian origin who miraculously survived the deadly Ahmedabad plane crash, which left all 241 co-passengers dead. A video showing him walking out alive from the site stunned users on social media. Ramesh was seated in 11A, according to the flight manifest. It's still unclear how he survived, but parts of the aircraft were reportedly intact after the crash. Footage taken shortly after the crash showed Ramesh limping towards an ambulance, covered in blood, but alive. He was later photographed in hospital, with visible injuries to his face, chest and feet. Speaking to the media from the hospital bed, he said that he was a British national of Indian origin and had visited India to meet his family. He was travelling back with his brother. 'At first, I thought I was dead. Later, I realised I was still alive and saw an opening in the fuselage near my seat. I managed to unbuckle myself. I used my leg to push through that opening and crawled out," he told News18. 'There were bodies all around me, and there were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance." First Published: June 18, 2025, 09:38 IST
