My first experience with crêpes was in high school. I took French back then, and joined the French Club for something to add to my college application. I even became the secretary of the French Club, meaning that I did, basically, rien. Nothing. It was the perfect role for my nerdy, lazy, 17-year-old self. Anyway, we had an annual French Club party, and Madame Gordy would bring in her crêpe maker so we could all enjoy sweet crêpes together....
Whenever I prepare idli or dosa, at times I make a veggie chutney with them if I am not making sambar. Simply because it’s healthy and the veggie based chutney along with the idli and dosa does make up for a complete meal. In South Indian cuisine chutneys are made with many veggies like capsicum, cabbage, beetroot, sweet potato and various gourds etc. It is a good way to use these leftover veggies at home....
Are you struggling this morning? Me, too. I caught up with family and friends in Oklahoma this weekend, over campfires and Mexican food and deep-dish pizza. It’s been glorious and I’m struggling to get back into work mode. Only have three and a half more days until next weekend! I made this light but creamy pasta dish before I left town, and I might just make it again when I get back....

A cheesecake that’s creamy, rich and fluffy, without any of the guilt or calories!

Holy Churro. These Lava Cakes are insane… By far…one of the best Churro Recipes I have on here. By a mile. Coated in buttery Cinnamon Sugar….crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And it all starts with a beautiful rich chocolate ganache; freezing it….and spooning it into your Churro battered ramekins. Once they’re out of the oven…all golden and perfect…they’re brushed with melted butter and coated in Cinnamon Sugar....
Use it for chimichurri salmon, or as a marinade, sauce, or condiment for meat, vegetables, and more. Classic chimichurri is an Argentinian and Uruguayan staple with heavy notes of parsley and garlic. I love how versatile it is since it can be used as both a marinade and sauce for grilled meats and vegetables. Here’s my take on this classic, with a twist! Enter green chimichurri with cilantro! This cilantro chimichurri recipe radiates fresh soft herbs and strong aromatics, all balanced with tangy vinegar and rich olive oil....
What more could I say than WOW! Crispy, fluffy waffles that could be mistaken for blueberry cake are what these waffles are. Say that 10 times fast.

Waffles for dinner, even. I’m staring to prefer waffles over pancakes....
Throw your frying pans out the window for this sheet pan meal! Juicy parmesan baked Chicken Milanese is so easy!

Oven Baked Chicken I mean, who says you have to stand around the stove deep frying crumbed chicken, with oil spitting all over the place and possibly burning off eyebrows?...
Both these recipes taste great and you can make any of them according to your preference. The method of making both the recipes are almost the same. The only major difference is the addition of more spices in the second recipe of Masala Vada that gives a more complex flavor and taste. What is Dal Vada made of Dal Vada is made with chana dal. Chana dal are derived from brown chickpeas that have been husked and split....

Meet my latest salad dressing obsession! This mint dressing is as refreshing as they get. It’s made with freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and lots of fresh mint. Honey, Dijon mustard and garlic round out the flavors and make it irresistible. This dressing is light like a classic vinaigrette, but offers loads of fresh mint flavor.

About Gajar Ki Barfi This Gajar Ki Barfi is one of those many variations of one of the most popular forms of Indian sweetmeats, the barfi. It is interesting to know that the word ‘barfi’ stems from the Hindi word ‘barf’ that literally means ‘snow.’ Since a traditional milk or Khoya Burfi does give a snow-like appearance, hence the name. Although, the similarity just ends at that because barfi the sweet is full of taste as compared to the tasteless snow!...
This stunning salad came to be by accident. In a state of impending hanger, I threw together the leftovers scavenged from my fridge: fresh arugula, cooked wild rice, baked sweet potato fries (why not?), and ginger dressing. I topped it with the leftover toasted nuts and seeds sitting in a bowl by the sink, and somehow summoned the energy to add some crumbled feta. That salad really hit the spot, so I jotted down some notes about it and here we are....

The best part about homemade croutons is that you can use your favorite bread, even if it’s gone stale, and your croutons are ready in under 15 minutes. Most salads benefit from a crisp, crunchy element, which could be anything from toasted nuts, tortilla strips, ice water-soaked red onion, or of course, the classic crouton....
