In India, sweets are an integral part of all festivals and auspicious occasions. I simply can’t ignore their importance even though I am no longer eating sweets as I used to do earlier. I made these coconut ladoos last year to take to work during Diwali. The recipe was pending in my blog drafts. Thought…
Lahori Charga
Charga is Pakistani style fried chicken which is a three part process- marination, steaming and frying. Steaming makes the chicken tender while infusing the flavor and aroma of the spices and also shortens the frying time.
Chili Lime Baked Salmon
Salmon is one of our go to fish choices for weeknight dinner. It’s healthy, versatile and tastes great whether it’s baked, pan-fried, or grilled or used in rice, pasta or patties. Today’s salmon recipe is simple and delicious. When I say simple, I really mean SIMPLE. It only requires a handful of ingredients but the result is delectable.
Cast Iron Grilled Tandoori Paneer Kebabs
Every country has their own version of kebabs. In India, tandoori style kebabs are very popular. The key ingredient in these kebabs is the tandoori marinade which can be used for pretty much anything – chicken, fish, paneer, tofu, cauliflower, etc. In today’s recipe, I used paneer and bell peppers. They are threaded onto skewers that are marinated in the homemade tandoori marinade and then grilled until seared all around. These kebabs are fabulous for a party appetizer, quick snack, or sides for dinner. Above all, they are easy to prepare.
Easy Tomato Soup with Broccoli
Sometimes the most simple ingredients make the best ever meals. I made this tomato soup from end of the season garden bed clean out. It was delicious, nutritious, simple to make, and frugal too. All you need is cherry tomatoes, onion, ginger, broccoli, and seasonings, and a very refreshing soup come together quickly on busy weeknights.

These Kanchipuram Idlis are vegan, gluten-free, and make for a very balanced meal when served with sambar (vegetables and lentils in a sour gravy) and chutneys.
Peanut Chutney
Peanut chutney is a wonderful side to south Indian staples like Dosa or Idli. However, it can also be used as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. It’s a great make ahead chutney that lasts for days in the fridge.
