Today I am going to share the easiest and tasty authentic biranji rice recipe. I got this biranji recipe from my Mom’s friend Nirmala Aunty from Ranebennur. This dish is usually served at North Karnataka weddings or any other functions. This rice dish is typically prepared from butter, and dont reduce the quantity of butter if you are looking for authentic biranji anna. Typically, Basmati Rice is used, but if you don’t have it, you can use Sona Masuri too....
Reversing the order of the ingredients might sound weird, but I love how this low-carb, high-protein pizza with a gluten-free crust turned out.

I love adding Caesar salad for its fresh, creamy taste and crunchy texture. This chicken crust pizza is perfect for using up leftovers from your fridge—whether cooked chicken, pizza toppings, or salad ingredients....
May 25, 2015, Updated Jan 02, 2018 Let’s talk about breakfast. I know I talk about it quite a bit, well I can’t really help. Breakfast is just so important that whenever I get an opportunity I cannot hold myself from talking about the same. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and there is a reason behind it. Your brain needs glucose to function efficiently after a long all night break without food and when you deprive the brain of it, well your efficiency goes for a toss....
Nov 19, 2016, Updated Aug 23, 2019 Guys do you know what happened day before and the reason I was not able to put up my post on Friday? Well there was a power outage! Eeeks! In my 5 years here in the US, I had not faced even one power outage and this year I have already faced 2 with in 2 months! Now the earlier was still expected since there was a storm and all but this one was totally unexpected....
Any time I’m struggling for a quick, easy, yet healthy meal on busy/lazy evenings, I love turning to stir-fries like chicken stir-fry, vegetable stir-fry, and this classic beef stir-fry recipe. They come together from scratch in as little as half an hour (beef freezing time aside), are loaded with lean meat and veggies, and are perfect for satisfying Chinese takeout cravings in a healthier, cheaper way. I’ve already shared several similar recipes, like beef & broccoli and pepper steak, but this time, I’m focusing on a classic homemade beef stir fry....
Technically, the holiday season is already upon us, but with Christmas just around the corner and Thanksgiving just been, I’m in busy “prep” mode (aka testing new recipes to impress!). This year, it’s time to share my favorite method for honey-roasted carrots (aka honey glazed carrots!). This honey carrots recipe requires minimal prep, a handful of ingredients, and simple steps with outstanding results. If you’ve never tried it before, prepare to be amazed....
Dessert for breakfast never sounds like a bad idea – especially when it’s apple pie and in the form of these healthy cinnamon apple pie overnight oats. These apple overnight oats simmer fresh apples into a softened apple pie filling in just 10-15 minutes, combine them with warming spices like cinnamon or apple pie spice, naturally sweeten them with rich maple syrup, and make them creamier with the addition of creamy yogurt (homemade natural yogurt or homemade coconut yogurt)....

And what better way to show it off than with delicious baked granola cups topped with yogurt, fruit, and edible flowers! This granola recipe is so easy to make. There is no need to opt for store-bought granola, especially because you can never be sure how much sugar and other additives there are....
Making homemade jams is one of my favorite ways to preserve and savor the flavor of summery sweet berries year-round – like strawberry jam, raspberry jam, blackberry jam, and blueberries. This easy blueberry jam recipe requires just 4 key ingredients, can be flavored several ways, and takes as little as 20 minutes to prepare with minimal effort. The homemade jam tastes so much fresher and better than grocery store versions, too....
Feb 29, 2016, Updated May 07, 2023 Few years back when I discovered my love for baking, I thought I could be a great cake decorator too. You know all those fancy cakes attracted me and so I enrolled myself into cake decorating classes. I took 12 of those classes in the next 2 years and by the end of it I realized “this is not me”. I mean I like decorating cake and can do a pretty decent job but all those amazing cakes that people make – neither I have the talent nor the patience to make them....
This homemade sunflower seed butter recipe (otherwise known as sunbutter or sunflower butter) is a very frugal seed butter (up there with pumpkin seed butter and homemade tahini – aka sesame seed “butter”). It also works amazingly as an alternative to many types of nut butter in recipes, without giving up on nutrition. Plus you can prepare homemade sunflower butter from raw, soaked (sprouted), or roasted seeds with very little hands-on time!...

Plus, it’s also a versatile ingredient that can add a veggie boost to almost any dish. So knowing how to freeze spinach to enjoy it all year long – without getting soggy leaves – is something of a skill. Are you looking to cut down on waste?...

If you’ve enjoyed commercial candied ginger or crystallized ginger before, then prepare to fall in love with this homemade version! It’s super-fresh, with a more robust and brighter flavor than any store-bought version! Even better, this process leaves you with several yummy by-products, including a delicious ginger “tea” liquid and simple ginger syrup! I’ve previously shared ginger simple syrup and ginger tea methods, but what could be better than using one recipe for multiple delicious treats?...
After sharing my homemade tapioca pearls recipe, I decided to try more boba-inspired DIYs. So here I am sharing this homemade mango boba pearls recipe. The pearls are chewy like traditional tapioca, but they are bursting with fresh mango flavor. The method is similar to making regular pearls, but first, you need to make a tapioca-mango puree. The resulting boba pearls taste fruity and fresh, and you can add them to your favorite bubble tea or other cold drinks or top ice cream and desserts....
The weather is starting to heat up, which is enough excuse for me to give ice cream making a go again. I’ve previously experimented with fruit popsicles and yogurt-based ice creams like a blackberry ice cream. Now I am sharing how to make mango ice cream at home (and a creamy vegan one at that!). Unlike store-bought versions, this coconut mango ice cream has no long list of ingredients with chemicals and preservatives....
Not A Broccoli Fan? Due to its distinct taste and smell, a lot of people (especially kids) don’t like eating them. I never grew up eating this vegetable back in India.

From crispy broccoli fritters, roasted broccoli, soups to sandwiches, there’s so much to love about broccoli. Here are the best ways to eat this delicious broccoli vegetable....
