Feb 25, 2015, Updated Jan 02, 2018 So I have been posting all the dips and sauces for the last few days because I wanted to share this – chickpea spinach corn quesadillas with cilantro mint chutney and creamy cucumber dip! I have spoken about my love for Mexican food several times on the blog. I love it because it’s awesome and also because Mexican food introduced me to avocados....

Curry leaves are a rich source of iron, folic acid, and vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin B2, calcium and have a robust and fragrant flavor giving strong flavors to any dish. I use curry leaves mostly in temperings for chutneys, semiya upma, rice dishes like lemon rice, milgai podi rice, poriyals, and Indian curries recipes. Recently I tried this curry leaves chutney powder recipe, and my family loved it....
Apr 06, 2019, Updated Sep 13, 2019 This dal has whole black lentils cooked with butter and cream and simmered on low heat for that unique flavor. It tastes best with garlic naan!

Feb 26, 2014, Updated Jun 17, 2024 Since I already have a kitchen aid stand mixer, my hubby gifted me it’s ice cream attachment last year but I never got a chance to use it, not until today. I have made ice creams before but those were not made using an ice cream makers so honestly I was quite excited to use this and see the end result. Well the end result was a delicious soft and creamy ice cream which tasted just fantastic....
Jun 13, 2022 My mom made fruit custard so often during summers in India. There were so many fruits in the market during that time of the year and it was possibly the easiest and quickest dessert she could make. A bowl of chilled fruit custard during those hot days definitely made for a special treat. I still make it once in a while just to relive those days and for the nostalgia factor....
This Christmas brownie in a jar recipe is a great cheap edible Christmas gift that can be prepared in advance, customized to tastes, and wrapped up with a cute ribbon and bow. Plus, it uses oat flour for a great gluten-free Christmas gift option this year. I mean, who doesn’t love brownies? I dare you to point me in the direction of someone who says they don’t. If that’s the case, they must have tried a bad recipe....
Apr 07, 2021 Boiled gnocchi tossed in a spiced tomato sauce flavored with Indian spices and finished with cream! Even better, it all comes together in 30 minutes! I love adding Indian flavors to my favorite dishes (which aren’t Indian). There’s this Italian restaurant here and I love their gnocchi tossed in a simple creamy tomato sauce. It’s very basic but tastes so good. Adding Indian spices to that tomato sauce seemed like a good idea and it has been on my mind to do that for so long now and I finally worked on this recipe and really excited to share it with you all....
Sep 24, 2014, Updated Jan 02, 2018 What is your favorite quick breakfast recipe? Mine are oats and sandwiches, both are filling and can be prepared rather quickly. I make a lot of sandwiches for breakfast, usually I just add some tomatoes, onions, avocados to my whole wheat bread and eat it and that hardly takes me 10 minutes. However there are days when I want to make a special sandwich like this Grilled Apple Peanut Butter Sandwich or this Veggie Grilled Cheese Sandwich and today’s recipe is an addition to that list....
Jul 20, 2016, Updated Jan 02, 2018 I can’t get enough of peaches right now. Every weekend I get this huge box from Costco or the farmer’s market, they are so delicious that it’s hard to resist. But the problem is that the peaches in the box are way too many for the 2 of us to consume. So last week I baked with them and this weekend we grilled them and made this really delicious dessert....

I’m not going to lie – when I first heard about mushroom coffee, I wasn’t impressed. I never looked into it, and the idea sounded odd (at best). Then recently, I enjoyed date seed coffee (a delicious caffeine-free coffee alternative), and mushroom lattes (and adaptogen coffee) came back onto my radar. I finally took the time to learn more about this healing drink, aka adaptogen coffee, and now I’m hooked!...

I already have posts on my blog for homemade rose water and, more recently, rose extract. Now, here is a simple but sinfully delicious recipe for rose petal jam. As delicious as strawberry jam, raspberry jam, blackberry jam, fig jam, rhubarb jam, and other fruit jams are- this rose jam is my ultimate indulgence jam....
With the holidays just around the corner, it’s just about time to start thinking about getting those ‘make-ahead’ recipes ready. I’ve already stocked my fridge/freezer with other spreads and sauces like this DIY Homemade Vegan Nutella, homemade jams (like easy blackberry jam recipe and homemade raspberry jam), and my chocolate syrup; now it’s the turn of this homemade caramel sauce! If you’ve ever spent time watching any baking/cooking competition, you’ve probably seen people burning their caramelizing sugar more than once, which makes it seem like it is a long and complicated process....

It’s official, I’ve now spent so much time at home that I’m fully investing in becoming a dough-making goddess. If you follow me on Instagram you’ll notice that I’m now doing live cook-alongs and have previously done one for this homemade pita. I also have a Neapolitan pizza dough cook-along coming up. Now it’s time to share this simple bread recipe; delicious whole wheat bread.
