About This Tandoor Roti Recipe Tandoori roti are unleavened whole wheat flat breads. Traditionally these are made in a tandoor, which is a pot-shaped clay oven and not on a skillet or flat pan. Hence the name tandoori roti which means that these are cooked in a tandoor unlike the regular Roti which is cooked on a tawa (a flat or concave shaped skillet). Any North Indian restaurant will have a tandoor in their kitchens and the tandoori roti they serve will be inevitably made in the tandoor....

I have used Mixed Sprouts, but feel free to use any bean or sprouted beans of your choice....

These stuffed peppers aren’t the kind your mom made. They’re meatless and loaded with fresh flavor. They’re cheesy as shown, yes, but they’re just as good without the cheese. You can easily make these peppers dairy free or vegan. Most stuffed peppers are made with Italian seasonings, but I went in a different direction. I was inspired to incorporate some of my favorite Mexican ingredients, including pinto beans, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime, chili powder and cumin....

Hearty, healthy, and the kitchen sink of recipes, a bowl of steaming chili is the perfect cold weather entrée. While I was home for Christmas, I flipped through my mom’s copy of Real Simple magazine and came across a recipe for vegetarian chili with sweet potatoes. “Sweet potatoes and veggie chili?” I thought. “Two of my favorite foods, together?!” The recipe shot to the top of my mental to-cook list as I tore out the pages for safekeeping....

Updated Dec 04, 2017 We’re smack dab in the middle of holiday shopping, aren’t we? Thanksgiving has been and gone, Black Friday has seemingly turned into Black Weekend (as the sales last until Sunday) and tomorrow ushers in Cyber Monday, the pinnacle of online shopping deals. For the last couple of years I’ve much preferred to shop online (and avoid crowd craziness at all costs) and last year I put together gift guides for the foodie and traveler....

Hello from Mexico City! I’m on a much-needed post-cookbook vacation, eating many tacos and drinking many margaritas. You can probably catch a glimpse of the trip on Instagram stories—we’re cookieandkate.

Jan 12, 2020 One of the things I love about starting a new year is that we tend to be more introspective, so it’s a perfect time to evaluate our habits and assess whether they’re serving us positively or not. As many of you know, almost 8 years ago now I was diagnosed with celiac disease along with a handful of other autoimmune conditions, just for good measure, and since then I’ve been on a wellness journey, figuring out what works best for me and my body....

The preparation is similar to making Dosa Batter, and needs some prep work beforehand. Traditionally, appam are fermented with a local alcoholic drink known as toddy – which is a drink made from palm flower or coconut flower.
