Kiwi isn’t your typical fruit. It differs greatly from other fruits in terms of appearance, flavor, and even nutritional value. Peeling off the brown fuzzy coating reveals brilliant green slices with black seeds scattered throughout, making it a magnificent sight to see in addition to having a tangy, reviving flavor. You can utilize kiwi in a plethora of recipes such as fruit salad, shakes, desserts, and more. However, my favorite one is a glass of simple kiwi juice....

This Middle Eastern Batata Harra (sometimes spelled Batata Harrah) recipe is a dish that is featured a lot in my apartment. From eating it as an appetizer, a side dish, or inside wraps/Lebanese sandwiches, this is simple, versatile, and delicious. Traditionally this spicy Lebanese potatoes recipe uses deep-fried/fried potatoes, but I decided to oven-bake mine (air fryer method also included below). With my baking method, you’re getting both healthier results and wonderfully crispy potato chunks, which is what you want for this dish....

Feb 17, 2014, Updated Jan 02, 2018 This is a super easy and super quick breakfast provided you have lemon curd ready. In fact it takes not more than 5 minutes to put this all together. All you need is yogurt, granola, lemon curd and some fruits. You layer all the ingredients in a glass one by one and your parfait is ready to eat. I made this parfait as I had leftover lemon curd in my fridge and I thought this would be a good way to use it....

Little millet upma was my first ever millet recipe and I’m glad I tried it. While people often talk about rava upma or vermicelli upma, this is a fantastic addition to the Upma family 😊. Its taste is quite similar to Rava Upma. This recipe can be made for breakfast or dinner. The variations are endless, and adding vegetables adds nutrition and color. I have made a few recipes with millets such as pongal, bisibelebath, little millet lemon rice, bajra(pearl millet) khichdi, kodo millet pulao, millet curd rice, and dosa....

Jan 19, 2021 Best enjoyed with white butter and a cup of chai! Winters in Delhi are very specific food wise. There are certain things which you would see in every household only during winters – like gajar halwa , maaki ki roti & sarson ka saag & these methi paratha! Fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves are in abundance during winters and so they are used in a numbers of recipes during this time of the year....

Yes, it’s officially that time of year again. The leaves are beginning to fall, the weather is beginning to turn and, most importantly, Pumpkins are here.

Jun 30, 2020 Flavored with lots of cardamom and saffron, the ice cream base comes together in 10 minutes only. The weather in Seattle has been a little weird lately. It was quite a cold June except for few warm days. I am hoping July is much warmer and there’s no rain for next 30 days at least. We could use a rain-free month. In the days that it got warm, I made plenty of ice creams at home....

Dec 20, 2014, Updated Jan 02, 2018 Hello everyone! How is you week going so far? I hope everyone is having fun and enjoying the holiday season. I am out on a vacation with hubby and friends.

How I love that city, so excited to be there always!...

Aug 22, 2019, Updated Aug 15, 2024 Paneer (Indian cottage cheese) is cooked with spinach and spices in this creamy and flavorful curry. It pairs well with naan, paratha or jeera rice. When we were kids, the only way my brothers would eat spinach was if it was cooked with paneer in palak paneer. It was such a great way to sneak in the greens. They wouldn’t touch spinach otherwise but if there was paneer with it, they would happily gulp down bowls of it....

Dec 19, 2019, Updated May 27, 2023 Tastes great with brown rice or white jasmine rice. Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.

Recipes for bhurji are quite well known, particularly in Northern India. It is frequently offered at dhabas and eateries along the highway. Unlike those classic curries, this dish is quick, nutritious, and full of flavor. Most bhurji recipes call for an egg. However, paneer can be used in place of the egg to produce a dish with a similar texture and flavor. Hence, we bring you a delicious Paneer bhurji recipe to try at home....

How to make Peri Peri Makhana How to Roast Makhana:- Heat ghee in a pan or kadai and add 1 cup of Makhana, and dry roast them on very low heat for 4-5 minutes until they are crisp, keep stirring them in between so that Makhana does not burn. To check if they are roasted properly, just take one Makhana in hand and crush it, if it breaks nicely with a crunching sound that means they are done perfectly....

Oct 26, 2017, Updated Aug 28, 2020 I can’t believe we are less than a month away from Thanksgiving!

I know planning a Thanksgiving dinner can be challenging but I hope some of the recipe that I will be sharing in the next few weeks will make it easier for you guys to plan your menu....

Oct 01, 2014, Updated Jan 02, 2018 I can’t believe it’s October already, where did the year go? October is my favorite month of the year, not only because it’s full of festivities but also because it’s my birthday month! So this week is going to all about cakes and more cakes! But today’s recipe is not a dessert in fact it’s one of the easiest appetizers/starters to make if not the easiest – Bruschetta....

Aug 18, 2021 Burfis are so versatile. It’s a broad term used for a sweet Indian fudge. It can be made in so many ways with all sorts of ingredients. Over the years, I have shared so many burfi recipes on the blog, right from Besan Burfi to Almond Burfi to even a fun take on burfi in terms of Burfi Truffles. But even after sharing so many, I still never run out of ideas to make a new flavor burfi....

This vegan lemon tart is a dessert of my dreams. the tart but lovely lemon flavor of the dairy-free filling along with the nutty, rich raw vegan pistachio tart base is a combination made in heaven. Plus, with this vegan lemon dessert being 100% dairy-free – there’s no fiddling with egg yolks or lemon curd involved here. If you’ve meandered your way through my blog at all then you’ll probably know that I have a bit of an obsession with vegan tarts and dessert recipes....

Do you know what’s crazy? My blog doesn’t have a single “regular” pancake recipe. Sure, I’ve got an American pancake “cake”, spinach crepes, thick fluffy Japanese-style pancakes, and little Danish blueberry pancake balls (aebleskiver). And, sure, this lemon ricotta pancakes recipe isn’t exactly “regular” either. But once you taste them, I wouldn’t be surprised if they become your go-to on weekend mornings (and every other day!) These pancakes with ricotta cheese are almost impossibly tender and fluffy....

Apr 20, 2015, Updated Jun 17, 2024 Happy Monday! I’m kicking this week off with a very flavorful recipe of Tofu Pineapple Coconut Curry. I have mentioned before tofu is not my favorite, but I do it enjoy it once in a while especially when it’s combined with some of my favorite ingredients like pineapple in this recipe!
