Jul 18, 2017, Updated May 07, 2023 This is the only eggless chocolate cupcake recipe you would need! Thank you everyone for all your messages, comments, DMs, emails after my last post. I am so touched by all the love. I am not going to lie, it’s not easy. No matter how hard I try each day, the pain still feels unbearable. I still find it hard to believe that I am living this life without my mumma, no child ever imagines such a life....
Oct 29, 2014, Updated May 07, 2023 Macarons, they just make me very happy. Oh, let me rephrase it, French Macarons – they make me extremely happy! Well french macarons are different from macarons so I thought I would make it clear which macaron I am talking about! Oh and these cute little Halloween donut macarons made me extra happy. Seriously how cute are these! I don’t even feel like eating them, I only want to look at them!...
I mean if we’re going to spend all our time baking banana bread, we should probably try to make some healthy sugar swaps occasionally. Otherwise, I’ll be made out of sugar in a few months. I should clarify, I’m definitely not anti-sugar – it has a place within my baking and my heart; however, I like to minimize my consumption of it, when possible. Along with the sugar swap, this banana nut bread also includes the addition of rich walnuts to create a more decadent and filling snack/dessert, too....
Almond nut butter is a paste made from blitzed toasted almonds. Alongside the traditional peanut butter, roasted almond butter is one of the most popular spreads. It’s a healthy snack that’s delicious, super thick, creamy, and can be used in a myriad of ways. Made with just two ingredients – roasted almonds and a little sea salt – making this creamy almond butter recipe takes about fifteen minutes and a little elbow grease....
Whether you’re a big fan of homemade lemonade or love to add lemon to brighten up the flavor of countless other meals, learning how to juice a lemon without a juicer is an essential life skill in my lemon-loving opinion. In fact, while I’ve included the juicer method below, I’ve included five other methods for you to choose from! As a bonus, many work with other citrus fruit, like how to juice limes, too!...
It’s official, TikTok has brought out their “latest and greatest” trend, this time with homemade corn cobs. And if you don’t think too much about it making the rounds in February, as it’s not even close to BBQ season, you can still appreciate this corn side dish! This corn ribs method takes your usual BBQ corn on the cob, combines it with Mexican street corn, and decides to give it a little make-over....
Anyone who follows me on Instagram will know that I’ve very recently moved house. I’m no longer a Londoner – instead, I’m now an ‘Oxonian.’ And one of the main elements that drew me to my new apartment is the gorgeous open-plan kitchen with its skylight and beautiful blue turquoise kitchen decor. Now I have a gorgeous turquoise/blue refrigerator to match! Before upgrading, I had a pink retro-style refrigerator that matched my pink aesthetics amazingly in my previous apartment....
Sep 30, 2021 I love oatmeal for breakfast, Sarvesh not so much. He has recently warmed up to it though, like earlier he would not even try but not he eats a bowl especially when I flavor it and add different toppings to it. Making steel cut oats has become much much easier ever since I started cooking it in the Instant Pot. No, it does not take less time....

The group would share/feature vegetarian instant pot recipes and ideas from all around the web! One of the cuisines that I actually liked after moving to US was Thai. My exposure to different kind of food/cuisine in India was limited....
Jhunka Vadi is also known as Pitla. This can be made with dry, and semi-gravy versions, and this recipe post dedicate to the dry version of the Jhunka Vadi recipe. Jhunka Vadi has long shelf life, so we used to carry this on our vacations. I learned this recipe from my mom, since we are from North Karnataka, my mom makes at least jowar roti 4 times a week, and this Jhunka is made once a week along with raw tomato chutney....
What is Bazella? This is my third Lebanese stew recipe this month, as part of an exciting project I’m working on. All three have been an Arabic-style stew called yakhneh/yakhni/yekhne – usually, a stew with a tomato and garlic base, a protein, main vegetable, and then served over a bed of rice. Just like bamia (okra stew) and the fasolia (bean stew) before it, this stew is named after its main ingredient: bazella, aka peas....
In Lebanon, we love making this for picnics and gatherings, and it pairs brilliantly with grilled meat recipes like shish tawook, kofta kebab, and beef shish kabob. Tabbouleh salad is incredibly fresh and popular, much like fattoush salad, but with parsley as the main ingredient. When I think of Lebanon, tabbouleh comes to mind as a star of mezze platters. At Lebanese dinners, mezze spreads are bountiful, with tabbouleh consistently standing out among favorites like hummus, baba ganoush, and stuffed grape leaves....
If you were to name an Indian meal that exudes both comfort and indulgence, the most popular response would be Khichdi. Furthermore, why not? It’s one of the simplest and easiest yet wholesome one-pot Indian dishes. And the thing we like the most about it is that it only needs a few ingredients. Although rice and moong dal are the usual components, you may also use other items. You can use millets, dalia, quinoa, and other ingredients....
Indians are unparalleled in their ability to make delicious Pani Puri. Although this recipe has many variations, the tanginess and spiciness of the Pani give each version its unique taste. The best way to enjoy this quintessential Indian street food is at roadside stalls or a restaurant. However, it may not be possible for everyone to have it. So, worry not! We bring you a perfect recipe to make Indian street-style pani puri at home, and that too with some of the very basic Ingredients....
For me, perfectly cooked rice maintains the individual grains and is slightly chewy, ever so slightly sticky, and, of course, fluffy and soft. However, following the package instructions doesn’t always lead to successful results. So, after some experimentation and lots of rice cooking, I have developed a foolproof method for perfectly cooked jasmine rice. For this recipe, you don’t even need a rice cooker or instant pot (though I do have an instant-pot jasmine rice version, too)....
I love a silky, velvety, and wonderfully rich sauce to enjoy with my weekly eggs Benedict, over asparagus, or with seafood. So this quick Hollandaise sauce is my go-to recipe—it requires just five ingredients (plus salt and pepper), a blender, and just a few minutes to make. My tried-and-tested method is fool-proof, so you can always impress your family and guests at breakfast, brunch, and dinner. What is Hollandaise sauce?...
Jun 03, 2021 I have often talked about my love for kulfi on the blog. It was always my and my mumma’s favorite. Whenever we would crave something refreshing during summers, we would always go for kulfi. For us, it was always better than ice cream. After maa passed away, for some time I couldn’t even eat kulfi. Every time, I picked it up, it reminded me of her love for kulfi....
Jun 01, 2023 Paneer based Indo-Chinese dishes are very popular. If you are a vegetarian, they are your go to when eating out Indo-Chinese. While Chilli Paneer is the most popular, another crowd favorite is the Schezwan paneer. This dish uses schezwan sauce/chutney for that depth of flavor in the sauce. Schezwan sauce is a condiment made with Kashmiri red chili chilies and the sauce is spicy, tangy and sweet....
Feb 26, 2016, Updated Jan 02, 2018 Whew! We made it to Friday! This week felt a little long, just me? Maybe, because I was really caught up last weekend so didn’t really get the time to relax and then the new week started. I guess I will simply unwind and do nothing for the next 2 days. Maybe catch up on some TV shows and of course do some grocery shopping [read: LOT of grocery shopping!...
Potatoes can be enjoyed in many ways, from breakfast to lunch, supper, and snacks. One delicious option is Tandoori Aloo, a vegetarian twist on the popular Tandoori Chicken dish from North India. This dish is perfect for your next summer barbecue or party at home. You may also like my other air fryer tandoori dishes like paneer tikka, tandoori gobi, tandoori tofu, and tandoori broccoli. I used my Instant Vortex Plus 6 Quart Air Fryer for this recipe....
