My Tryst with Kolhapuri Cuisine I’ve been to Kolhapur many times and have got the opportunity to savor vegetarian Kolhapuri cuisine in all its authenticity. I’ve tried dishes ranging from their celebrated thalis, the spicy Vada Pav & Appe on the roadside to chilli pitla (a hot gram flour-based dish) and the Kolhapuri Misal Pav (sprouted moth beans curry), which is known to make one sweat because of its fieriness. Even the Kolhapuri dal is bold and spicy....

And you don’t need to make this potato curry recipe on any fasting occasion. You can make this sabzi and serve with pooris or chappatis any time. There are many variations of vrat ke aloo. Sharing the way I make this Vrat wale aloo at home. The boiled potatoes are crumbled and added to sauteed tomatoes-spice mixture. Simmered for some minutes and then served hot with a garnish of coriander leaves....

Updated Mar 18, 2020 If you’re making the switch to a healthy diet, one of the first areas that needs a little spring cleaning (no matter what time of year!) is your pantry. Unlike your refrigerator where you’re constantly throwing out expired food, your pantry becomes a barren wasteland of accumulated ingredients. A random assortment of one-hit wonders, purchased for some special dish that you made over 10 years ago – right?...

Updated Aug 14, 2024 Best Mexican Recipes for Cinco de Mayo As a Southern California native and lover of Mexican food, Cinco de Mayo is by far my favorite foodie holiday. But interestingly enough, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day (as some believe). Rather, it commemorates the victory of the Mexican military over France in 1862, and in fact, it’s not widely celebrated in Mexico. But in the U....

Updated Dec 04, 2017 Did you know that August is one of the most popular vacation months out of the year? Everyone’s jet-setting, relaxing under palm trees and fulfilling their dreams of wanderlust. And to that, I say bravo! We all need a little R&R to be our healthiest and happiest selves and a change of scenery is a very good thing. Having travelled all 7 continents and recently returned from five months of overseas adventures, I may know a thing or two about travel (or… I may have a slight addiction to travel....

Confession: I’m a pesto fanatic, but I had never actually made my own until recently. I was intrigued by Barbara Kingsolver’s method of making pesto in bulk in Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (which Lesley kindly shipped to me from Bordeaux!). However, my baby basil plant isn’t nearly big enough to produce mass quantities of pesto, so I was stumped. Then I ran across arugula pesto. By now you all know I love arugula (see arugula pasta salad), and I thought it would be the perfect springtime green to incorporate in my pesto....

About Wheat Ladoo There are some recipes that you learn while growing up and some later in life. Though, this Atta Ladoo recipe falls in the latter category, it has grown on me like none other. I can easily say that this Atta Laddu is one of my most preferred ones now. I learnt to make Atta Ke Laddu from my mother-in-law. This sweet is primarily a Punjabi/North Indian specialty. Thus, is a winter favorite....

Have you tried the baked feta pasta that took the internet by storm earlier this year? That simple recipe inspired this delicious summer dip, which features some of my very favorite flavors—creamy feta, tangy cherry tomatoes, olives and plenty of fresh basil. Baking these ingredients together near the heat source yields maximal flavor. The feta softens and turns golden, the cherry tomatoes burst and naturally sweeten, and the olives become even more intensely olive-y....

More on Beetroot Rice At home, I usually make this Pulao either with mixed veggies or just one veggie. However, in this Beetroot Rice recipe, it is the beetroot which is quite the highlight of the entire dish. Since it also uses curry leaves and mustard seeds, the flavor is more of South Indian. So, at the end you can also sprinkle some fresh grated coconut on the rice. If you’d like more vegetables in this Beetroot Rice, please go ahead and add....

The best hummus is lusciously creamy, yet somehow light and fluffy. It’s beautifully smooth and swirled, and begging to be scooped up onto a wedge of pita bread. It’s nutty and tangy, thanks to the tahini, with notes of bright, fresh lemon and mellow garlic. I encountered the most delicious hummus at Aladdin Cafe, a local Mediterranean restaurant. That hummus met all of the above characteristics, and I was hoping the owner might enlighten me with his techniques....

This colorful recipe has been slowly taking shape in my kitchen over the past few months. I’ve seen “Buddha bowls” all over the internet and menus lately, so I set out to make one. What are Buddha bowls, though? How did whole-grain-and-veggie-bowls-with-tasty-sauce all become abbreviated as “Buddha bowls”? I found some guidance in this Epicurious article by Katherine Sacks. In summary, Buddha carried a bowl with him on his journeys and accepted food as donations, which he would eat at the end of the day....

Biryani is a favorite rice-based dish with us. During weekends I often make various types of Biryani. Apart from the usual veggie biryanis, I also make biryani with safed chana or white chickpeas. Basically there are two ways I make this biryani. One with curd and the other with coconut milk. In this post, I am sharing the coconut milk version. You can even skip coconut milk with the curd and use the same recipe....

Our chicken corn chowder has so much flavour, you’ll be going back for seconds and thirds. Much like our French Onion Soup, this will become your go-to comfort dish, perfectly paired with a slice of buttered Artisan Bread! CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER What we believe sets this chowder apart from most is the addition of potatoes, which is what gives this soup a thick, creaminess without the addition of heavy cream....

As you can probably tell by our dulce de Leche churro empanadas, churro ice cream bowl cups and of course our best churros recipe, we are kind of obsessed with churros. We are obsessed with stuffing things (including our faces), our Nutella Stuffed Deep Dish skillet cookie and our Nutella stuffed churro French toast, which is why we have gone ahead and combined two of our favourite things – chocolate and churros, to bring you this decadent stack of chocolate stuffed churro pancakes!...
