During summer, while green beans are in season, it’s the perfect time to boil green beans, sauté green beans, make roasted green beans, and air fry green beans to perfection. However, if you want to lock in that fresh flavor beyond their peak season – especially if you grow them in your garden or have a local farmers market- it’s time to learn how to freeze green beans (raw or blanch beans to freeze)....

It’s easy to become overwhelmed with the abundance of charcuterie board and cheese board/cheese platter images online....

This includes making homemade simple syrup and powdered sugar with unrefined sugars, homemade unrefined cane sugar (and jaggery), date syrup, and this date paste recipe (aka date puree)! Using dates is one of my favorite ways to naturally sweeten recipes like healthy smoothy recipes and use within no-bake goodies (like these no-bake healthy brownies)....

Check out my other favorite healthy Beetroot Kurma & Navratan Korma recipe, which are also made in Instant Pot....

There is a method of preparing juicy chicken breasts no matter your tools, time, and effort preferences. Slow cooker shredded chicken and Instant Pot chicken breasts are simple set-and-forget methods that use liquid for super juicy but not crispy breasts. Meanwhile, oven-baked chicken breasts combine a crisp, golden exterior and tender, succulent middle in under an hour. Now, though, you can achieve the same results in a fraction of the time with this air fryer chicken breast recipe....

Gujarati cuisine is a medley of flavors and a vegetarian’s dream. There is a lot to learn about Gujarati delicacies, whether it is the crunchy khakra or the fluffy dhoklas.

May 13, 2021, Updated May 17, 2022 There are few things which I distinctly remember were my mom’s specialty in the kitchen. One of them were these kathal and chana dal kebabs. These kebabs are more of a eastern Uttar Pradesh thing I think? because I have not heard about them anywhere else. If you guys have my cookbook, I even have a jackfruit and chana dal recipe in it which was inspired by these kababs....

Oct 24, 2016, Updated Jan 02, 2018 Samosa is probably the most famous Indian snack in the world. It’s always there on the menu in every Indian restaurant and even those who don’t know much about Indian cuisine would have most probably heard about samosa. The traditional samosa that you would find in every corner of India is filled with a spicy potato filling and nothing else. Of course there are a lot of versions in the market from stuffing with dry fruits to minced meat but when you say “samosa” you are talking about the one filled with potatoes and it’s so funny that I don’t have a recipe for that on my blog yet....

What is the food for your soul? While there are several possible responses. Having a paratha with a bowl of curd is my idea of heaven. Paratha is a quintessential Indian breakfast that is both satisfying and scrumptious. Although I’ll always adore the traditional plain paratha recipe, I’d like to try several others as well. For example, aloo paratha, palak paratha, mooli paratha, and more alternatives abound, leaving me puzzled....
