Enjoy this quick and easy instant pot recipe for Diwali or other Indian festivities. The Carrot Burfi recipe is a fun variation of the extremely popular carrot halwa. It’s a really simple recipe in which I pressure cook grated carrots with milk and sugar, then simmer it along with milk powder and almond flour, until it thickens to a fudge-like consistency. Why I Love This Recipe The best part of making this Carrot Burfi is that it’s finger food, which makes this great for serving at parties....

I always crave a touch of classic Indian cooking when I go through a bout of long work days and busy weeknights. And this Chana Saag recipe sure hits the spot! It’s one of my favorite dishes to order out at a restaurant. In this recipe, I’ve tweaked it a little to make it completely doable on a weeknight, using my trusted kitchen pal, the electric pressure cooker. It’s a complete, plant-based, and protein-packed meal you can get on the table in no time, rice included!...

Enjoy these juicy shish kebabs and rice along with a refreshing cucumber or avocado salad. This Chicken kebab and rice is one of my favorite weeknight meals. I love that I can take care of the protein, vegetables, and carbs, all in one shot. It comes together in just 30 minutes, most of which is hands-off cooking time. This recipe is my Indian twist on the classic middle-eastern Shish kebab, which is also known as kabob or shish kabob....

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA One of the best things about this recipe is that the ingredients are likely, already in your fridge or pantry....

First recipe of 2017: My new favorite chickpea salad. It’s crisp and fresh, with lots of zip. I’ve been eating it straight from the bowl, and even used it as a protein-rich topping for some cheesy nachos the other night. That’s what I like to call a balanced meal. I’m so glad I finally moved to a better kitchen. Now that I have an open, light-filled cooking space, I’ve found myself spontaneously creating recipes at dinnertime again....

Growing up, we always had an assortment of Indian sweets around festivities, especially during Diwali. My mom would make some mithai (Indian sweets) at home and we would buy some from a local sweet shop. Coconut Ladoo, also known as Nariyal Ladoo, has been my favorite since childhood. Years ago while glancing through my mother-in-law’s recipe book, I found this quick recipe for coconut ladoo using a handful of easily available ingredients....

Our classic creamy Eggnog recipe has taken years to perfect and now we’re finally sharing it with you all! A sinful, seasonal treat with little effort. Trust me when I tell you, it’s well worth the work. The best part? It just gets richer and creamier as it sits in the refrigerator. Use rum, bourbon, cognac, brandy, or your choice of liquor. Add more or less to suit YOU!...

This sauce came to be by pure chance. I simply opened up my refrigerator and saw a jar of leftover pumpkin purée next to leftover diced tomatoes. They reminded me of a pasta sauce I bought at Trader Joe’s last year, called Autumnal Harvest Pasta Sauce. “Autumnal Harvest Pasta Sauce” might be a more accurate title for this recipe, since it’s not overtly pumpkin-flavored. It’s a mouthful, though! This sauce tastes like fall, with a hint of spice....

Pairing these crispy and crunchy chicken pieces with my favourite mayonnaise — Sweet Chilli Mayo — makes this simply incredible. These take less than 10 minutes to prep, 10-15 minutes in the oven, and dinner is on the table. Better than the unhealthy-take-away-deep-fried version of crumbed chicken anything. And that Sweet Chilli Mayo! Oh…you have to try this one. First: start by whisking together the garlic spiced egg mix. Add the chicken; mix it through; coat with a breadcrumbs mix; place onto oven tray; bake for a few minutes; serve....

The BEST thing about smashed potatoes is that they have the perfect balance between crispy French fries and fluffy roast potatoes, only they’re NOT dry as roast potatoes tend to be.

Between this Honey Lime Garlic Butter Salmon, and Chicken Scallopini with Lemon Garlic Cream Sauce, we are loving the smells coming out of our kitchen....

In our recipe the chana dal is cooked fresh and then mixed with spices. This filling is then stuffed in the paratha. This recipe is versatile enough to be made with leftover cooked chana dal. We usually use chana dal to make these parathas. However you can also use moong dal to make moong dal paratha. With mung lentils you have to be careful when cooking them so that they don’t end up being lumpy or pasty....

Basically Dalia is the Hindi term for broken cereals....

About Drumstick Curry Recipe First things first, to avoid any confusions, the drumsticks used in this Drumstick Recipe are the pods of the moringa oleifera or moringa tree, and not the chicken drumsticks. In Hindi, drumstick pods are also known as saijan ki phalli. So, which obviously makes this preparation of Drumstick Curry as a vegetarian plant based one. Like I mentioned in the beginning, moringa has many health benefits and the consumption of the various parts of the moringa tree is quite common in Indian cuisine....

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This recipe is one that we had to cut from my cookbook due to space constraints, but it’s too good to keep from you. It was inspired by two delicious experiences with polenta, or grits, if you’d rather. They’re basically the same thing. The first was a polenta bowl at a farm-to-table restaurant in Omaha called Kitchen Table. My bowl looked pretty similar to what you see here, but with a poached egg....

Smoked salmon and goats cheese rocks my socks… And on an english muffin is like hello — pure amazingness because it’s so super fast to prepare you can feed your hunger in no.time.at.all. The goats cheese brings out the beautiful natural flavours of smoked salmon, seasoning it naturally with just the right amount of salt while adding a creamy texture to your palate. The sharp flavour of the rocket — or arugula — compliments it so well, and putting it all on a warm and toasty English Muffin completes me....
