Oats are a great source of nutrients and I love them but they contain a protein called avenin, to which some people are intolerant or even allergic. This led me to experiment with buckwheat and quinoa. This granola is delicious, crunchy, toasted, simple and easy and most important made with absolutely no oil and no sugar besides date paste. Plus, it’s rich in healthy carbs, protein and essential amino acids, your body needs to start the day.

Punjabi Style Aloo Matar
Potatoes and peas make a great combo when cooked with Indian spices and few kitchen staple ingredients. This much-loved dish has many variations to it. The Punjabi version is generally much thicker as it is made with boiled potatoes. The use of kasoori methi gives a nice flavor and turns this humble dish into something extraordinary.
Sprouted Mung Bean Breakfast Wrap/Frankie
Wraps are easy to make, healthy, flavorful and endlessly customizable. I used mung sprouts for the filling. They are an all-natural plant-based protein that is low in calories, low in fat and high in fiber. Mung sprouts can be eaten raw but for these wraps, they need to be cooked until soft. Their slightly sweet and nutty texture take on the flavor of whatever sauce and seasoning is used.
Toum, The Middle Eastern Garlic Sauce
Toum is a middle eastern condiment made with garlic, lemon juice, and oil. It can be served as a dip or spread with chicken, seafood, veggies or whisked into so many different things like pasta, steamed vegetables, salad dressings, soup etc.
Stuffed Portobello Mushroom with Mint Pistachio sauce
Portobello mushrooms are great for swapping meatless meals and help maintain a healthy weight as they contain no fat, sodium, or cholesterol and are high in fiber and low in calories. Packed with a tasty and heart healthy filling, these wonder mushrooms make for an excellent appetizer or a side with fresh salad greens and quinoa.

Sabut Daal Mix (Mixed whole Lentils)
Daal is a total comfort food for me, something I grew up with. The recipe I am sharing today is the one that I make on a weekly basis. It screams comfort and is homely, not something you would see on a restaurant menu. It has only a handful of ingredients but yet packs a ton of flavor and nutrition for all seasons.
Honey Lemon + Chili Roasted Squash
While simple roasted squash wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper are delicious on their own, the addition of lemon, honey, chili, and the aromatic spices really turns up the flavor. The combination of sweet, spicy and tangy will really make your taste buds happy.
