Yogurt is one food which is relished ‘sweet or salty’ by many of us. It is very nutritious and is the best natural probiotic. In Indian households yogurt is often served plain or as raita to team with curries and stir-fries. Apart from the usual, there are several other interesting ways to eat this dairy wonder, Like this Mint yogurt dip. I love serving this dip with a fresh platter of crudités or fritters but you can dip pita, crackers or whatever your heart desires.

Orange and Walnut Spice Cake
I enjoy eating healthy, but I love the occasional treats as well. Today I have a recipe for a traditional Greek cake full of delicious zesty orange, warm spices and toasted walnuts. This is a very moist and decadent cake for an afternoon snack with a cup of tea or coffee.
Tandoori Gobhi
Tandoori, the name evokes the exotic image of bright red color chicken pieces but gobhi (cauliflower) is the alternative to tandoori chicken for Veggie lovers.
I can’t believe I never shared a tandoori gobhi recipe on my blog. I eat it more often than chicken. When I read a friend’s post of how he enjoyed tandoori food on his vacation to India, I had an intense craving to make some. So I went ahead and whipped together the most simplest and easiest recipe: tandoori gobhi.
Grilled Salmon Steak
Good morning beautiful friends!
Salmon is one of my favorite types of fish. Even though it is comparatively expensive to other fish I choose to cook with it more often because it tastes great when baked or grilled with select herb and spices. There are plenty of marinades you can use with salmon and it responds really well. The following recipe uses yogurt, oil, lemon chili powder and carom seeds. It is very convenient for a weeknight meal and also pretty enough to serve to guests for lunch or dinner with stir fried vegetables, and some bread or rice.
Mascarpone Peach Melba
Soft mascarpone cream cheese topped with tender slices of peaches and garnished with raspberry puree and toasted almonds.
Homemade Cultured Butter
I simply love the taste of fresh homemade butter. It is not something that I make every day of the week but whenever I have spare cream or crave for parathas I do make butter. It only takes 2-3 minutes to make cultured butter in a food processor. Freshly made cultured butter tastes good on a toast, paratha or over steamed vegetables or indian style cooked daal/ lentil. It keeps well at room temperature for a week, 15-30 days in the fridge and few months in the freezer.
Millet “Berry Shrikhand”
Let me introduce you to a delicious creamy dessert called Shrikhand. It is a simple delicacy of strained yogurt, whipped to cream like consistency, mixed with sugar, flavorings and fruit pulp. As you can tell from the title of the post there is millet in my recipe. It is not only yummy but is virtually guilt free. The only fat here comes from whole milk yogurt cheese.
