Keep it low carb and serve this over Zoodles or Cauliflower Rice OR carb load it with pasta and normal rice! The choice is yours. Beyond excited that I’d left out chicken breast early in the morning, I began exploring said recipe all over Google. I was feeling like something creamy, like a Creamy Champagne Chicken, or a Creamy French Mustard chicken. Turns out, it’s easier to find than I thought, since Julia Child is somewhat of an icon....

I could eat a whole batch just to myself! If you are looking for easy Diwali Sweets Recipes , this is the recipe you need.

About Kosambari Kosambari Salad is a South Indian tempered salad, typically from the state of Karnataka. It is primarily made with lentils or pulses with a tempering of basic South Indian spices and curry leaves. The 2 most common lentils used to make a Kosambari are split Bengal gram (chana dal) and split green gram (moong dal). This post particularly features the Kosambari made with Moong Dal. Seasonal fruits like raw mango can also be added in a Kosambari Salad....
After a few glorious days of sunshine and sleeveless-shirt weather, it snowed again yesterday. This baked ziti is precisely what I want to eat when it’s cold outside. Hearty, saucy, cheesy pasta with redeeming whole grains and protein-rich lentils to keep me fueled for hours. This dish is in sharp contrast to the pasta dinners I loved as a kid, which consisted only of refined carbohydrates and loads of sugar-laden marinara sauce....
Whats with the Name? When I first heard the name, I was amused. I did not even know that such a lentil recipe exists with such a name. Let me break it down for you. ‘Maa or Maah‘ here means Black Gram or Urad Dal.‘Chole’ is Bengal Gram or Chana Dal. So In Punjabi we call this mixed lentils dish as “maa chole ki dal” or “maa choliyan di dal“. Many delicious Indian dal recipes are made by combining two or more dals....
I’m still giggling about the time I shared a green smoothie on Snapchat, and one of my good friends told me it looked totally disgusting. That’s what good friends are for, right? I laughed because I was ninety percent confident that he would have loved it if he had tried it. It was mostly made of raspberries, but I added some spinach for some extra nutrients. While the raspberry-red and spinach-green colors didn’t combine to produce the most appetizing shade of frozen treat, it was nutritious and seriously delicious....
About This Methi Mushroom My methi mushroom is a classic adaptation of the famous North Indian chicken dish known as methi murgh masala. The recipe is inspired from Jiggs Kalra’s book “Prashad – Cooking With Indian Masters.” This finger licking curry is perfect for putting on party menus or for celebrating special occasions. It tastes incredible and is a real crowd pleaser, even for our omnivorous friends! It can also be made vegan friendly by swapping in a plant-based curd....
Why hello Chocolate lovers. It’s nice to see you again. This is me when I can’t decide between blueberries and raspberries for brownies: Throw them both in; call it Mixed Berry; and hope for the best. And it worked. My son who usually stays away from anything containing fruit was mesmerised by these brownies and blinded by all the chocolate-ness — he had no idea the berries were existent....
I’ve been making batch after batch of overnight oats, and taking notes. Overnight oats are a healthy, make-ahead breakfast option, but they’re not always enticing enough to get me out of bed. I’m sharing my best tips and my favorite overnight oats recipe today. Ready? These overnight oats are legitimately delicious, and so easy to make! Overnight oats are typically served chilled, straight from the refrigerator. That makes them perfect for warmer months, but you can certainly enjoy overnight oats year-round....
Making palak puri is very easy. I follow the same method for making them as that of Palak paratha. Making palak poori or palak paratha is a good way to disguise greens like spinach from kids who do not eat them. In your cooking, you can be innovative to sneak in some veggies for kids who do not like to eat vegetables. Vegetable purees or fruit purees can be added to a puri or chapati dough and you can make different types of poori or flatbreads like Beetroot poori or Mangalore buns or this palak puri....
Love a good paloma? Me, too. The paloma is a delightfully fizzy grapefruit, lime and tequila cocktail hailing from Mexico. If you enjoy a Greyhound, grapefruit margarita or ranch water, this cooling drink is right up your alley. South of the border, palomas are typically made with grapefruit soda like Squirt or Jarritos, which taste similar to Sprite to me. Up here, bartenders often mix them with fresh grapefruit juice and sparkling water instead....
Parsi Brown Rice, A Memoir The first time I got a chance to get acquainted with the celebrated Parsi Brown Rice was in my cooking school. What a wonderful time that was – just cooking, learning new recipes, techniques, scoring well in tests and so much more. That was also the time when I majorly cooked in college, and occasionally at home. I can also clearly recall our food and nutrition professor telling us that this specific rice preparation has a brown hue to it....
What is Peda Peda is a fairly general term that refers to a wide variety of spherical or round, delicious milk-based fudge treats. Typically they are made with a combination of dried milk solids (khoya or mawa), sugar and milk, and any preferred flavoring spices. The mixture is simmered on the stovetop until reduced to a thick consistency, which is then cooled and shaped. They are also offered to the deities during religious occasions and ceremonies....

About This Ragda Recipe I share a ragda recipe that I have been making for years having learned it from my mom. This recipe uses minimal seasonings so that the flavors of the white peas shine through. Moreover this simple white peas curry balances the flavors and is in harmony with the chutneys when you make any chaat items with it. It is always better to have a minimally seasoned ragda curry rather than going overboard with a lot of ingredients added to it....
I’ve always associated daiquiris with artificial tasting, syrupy sweet concoctions from the likes of Chili’s. Imagine my surprise, while flipping through Market-Fresh Mixology when I discovered that traditional daiquiris are actually made with rum, lime juice, sugar and optionally, orange liqueur. I decided to try making my own daiquiris, one with raspberries and the other with blackberries. The raspberry daiquiri was the clear winner in the taste department, so I’ve typed up the recipe below....
About Sandwich Bread This recipe is my tried and tested way of baking a good soft Sandwich Bread at home, that too, with whole wheat flour (or atta). I often make sandwiches at home. The recipe does require precision and some efforts, but if followed to the T, it results in the perfect bread. Though I may not add as much sandwich recipes here, but I do make them as a quick snack or for brunch....
Hello, it’s Kate of two weeks’ past. I wrote this post in advance of my vacation in Morocco. I day-dreamed of this trip while I was perpetually arms-deep in dishes last year. It’s official: My cookbook’s at the printer, and I’m finally getting a real vacation! I should be practicing yoga and exploring Marrakech right now (you might be able to catch a glimpse on Instagram stories). I’m particularly excited about our trip into the markets....
The beauty of this batter. This batter…Lemme tell ya. Not only is it just amaze balls, it’s suitable for those ‘cooking half the batter today and refrigerating the rest for tomorrow’ moments. Which is perfect for us. Or…make the whole batch and freeze a few crepes for an emergency situation. There’s always that: I’m so hungry I could eat a whole packet of biscuits plus ice cream plus anything else I can find emergency moments…but freezing these crepes ahead of time is like genius....
Suji ka Halwa and It’s Variations Suji halwa is also known as Rava Sheera in Western India and Rava Kesari in South India. The method of preparation is more or less similar, with a few ingredients being changed here and there. Though rava or semolina remains the key ingredient. In some variations, milk is added instead of water and is called as milk kesari. For flavorings usually, cardamom powder is added....
