Dec 08, 2022, Updated May 07, 2023 I adore hazelnut and chocolate together. During our Europe trip earlier this year, we had gelatos almost everyday and my top 2 flavors were always pistachios and hazelnuts. Sometimes, I would take hazelnut with dark chocolate and that’s a combination that’s hard to beat. Sarvesh also adores this combination and ritter sport hazelnut chocolate is his favorite chocolate. The love for this combination made me try and bake these Hazelnut Shortbread, and let me tell you- this was one of the best shortbreads I have ever had....

Some people may think sharing a method for how to make fluffy scrambled eggs is pointless. However, having shared information on easy peel hard-boiled eggs (soft, medium, hard), separate egg whites and yolks, and pasteurize eggs, I know many really appreciate tips and tricks to achieving their desired results (in this case for deliciously soft and fluffy scrambled eggs) every time! After one too many batches of what’s meant to be soft scrambled eggs that are overcooked, rubbery, and dry, even at cafes and restaurants, it’s time to take matters into your own hands....
Over two years ago, I decided I wanted to share several homemade natural food colorings and powders after making several naturally colored dishes including this rainbow pasta and rainbow hummus.

Within this post, I’ll take you through how to make ube powder and purple sweet potato powder – both of which follow the same method and yield a wonderfully purple powder....

Aug 28, 2014, Updated Jan 02, 2018 Life in India is incomplete without chole (chickpeas). I seriously mean it and you will totally agree with me especially if you are from North India. They are everywhere – weddings, parties, festivals, get-together, road-side etc. If you have invited someone for lunch you are most likely to make chole, if there’s a festival well you will most definitely make them again. And so because we make them so often we obviously need to have ways to make them differently each time....
Mar 12, 2020 It’s the ultimate indulgence and pairs beautifully with garlic naan. Growing up in India in the 80s and 90s, we hardly ate out. And a few times that we did, we always went to Indian restaurants. That time the other cuisines weren’t as popular back home like they are now. I remember whenever we would go out, we would always order either of these 2 dishes- one was dal makhani and other was malai kofta....
Nov 05, 2015, Updated Jan 02, 2018 I have come to this conclusion recently – I can resist chocolates, I can even resist the temptation of a cheesecake, it’s difficult but I can manage BUT when it comes to mathri I have no self control like ZERO. No wonder mom used to make mathri at home only twice in a year , for Holi and Diwali because she knew it will all be finished by one and only one person in the house, yes that’s ME!...
Millet is an ancient grain and a good source of plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is also gluten-free and easily absorbed by the body. Like my quinoa chickpea salad, and quinoa black bean salad, I enjoy incorporating grains into my salads. They add great texture and make the dish more filling and nutritious. Today, I am sharing a healthy millet salad recipe that is fresh, colorful, and super filling....
Oct 31, 2015, Updated May 07, 2023 And we are back to pumpkin again.

Oct 11, 2021 I didn’t grew up eating Mohanthal, in stead I grew up eating besan burfi. I first tasted mohanthal at a friend’s place and was instantly hooked. I have a thing for sweets made with besan (besan ladoo is another favorite of mine) and so mohanthal had my heart from the first bite. This is my favorite time of the year to make Indian sweets and also the perfect time for me to share this mothanthal recipe with you guys....
I’m a fan of all sorts of bite-sized/portioned snacks, including no-bake energy balls, bliss balls, energy bites, bars, and others. I love these recipes because I’m always on the go, so it’s wonderful to be able to make a grab-and-go snack to last me throughout the week. These no-bake turmeric balls are no different – not only do they give you an energy boost, but they also help keep you full for longer to get you through to lunch/dinner time....
