on Oct 14, 2016, Updated Sep 04, 2023 This creamy bacon rosemary mushroom chicken thighs is my new favorite recipe for all the right reasons – The sauce is creamy, smoky and so fragrant with rosemary and bacon, and it gets made entirely in one pan which is definitely win win when I’m thinking weeknight dinner. It gets that super crispy chicken skin from cooking in all that bacon fat and you get looooots of mushrooms in every bite....

on May 10, 2023, Updated Jul 03, 2024 Who is as excited as me that mango season is finally here? I’m going a little crazy with mangoes currently, which is going to result in an overload of mango recipes on this blog. Starting with this tangy 30 minute raw mango rice. If you are anywhere near raw mangoes, I recommend picking them up immediately and heading straight home to try this out....

Thick and creamy milky base, each grain of rice intact, and served warm – you definitely need to try this kheer recipe! Chawal ki kheer or this rice pudding can be made in two different ways – one where the milk is simmered till it thickens and forms a rabri like base....
This tofu curry is all about convenience, saving time and mind-blowing flavor. It takes all of five minutes to put together the sauce but it is so delicious, you could pretend you’ve been slogging at the stove all day and let them do the dishes. 😉 Not that there are that many dishes, or pots, to clean. The tofu curry comes together in one pot (you also need a blender)....
When my son, Jay, passed away last year, I didn’t want to get out of bed for the longest time. Yet, sleep was also impossible to come by. Every night I lay in bed, wide awake, hoping this was a nightmare I would wake up from. My doctor prescribed antidepressants and sleep aids to help me through and I did take them for several months – I had to in order to just function....
Fun food. Eat with your hands food. Food to eat with friends. To share. To eat family style. Perfect for casual entertaining. Spicy Korean chicken meets Vietnamese spring rolls This isn’t authentic Korean. And it isn’t Vietnamese. It’s fusion. I guess. I started with grilled spicy Korean chicken. Tinkered with that for a while. Then I started thinking how I could use it as an ingredient. It’s good served with rice but I wanted something more....
In a curry rut? Want to try something a little out of the ordinary? This is not your everyday curry. It’s all about green chilies, mint and cilantro and spices. It’s a wonderful, medium spiced curry that’s really worth trying. The secret is mint coriander chutney. Wrapped up in a lush hotel-style gravy. If you’ve never enjoyed a hariyali chicken curry, this is a good place to start. Don’t fear the mint....
on Jul 26, 2024 While wooden chopping boards are better than plastic ones as they don’t leech microplastics into your food, the cuts and scars on your wooden chopping board can actually be a major breeding ground for bacteria and mold. I know it sounds scary, but don’t worry because cleaning and maintaining your wooden chopping board is easier than you think! All it takes is 10 mins of maintenance per month and you’re good to go....
This is not just another chili recipe. It’s different. Really good in that sneak up on you sort of way. This is old school Mexican cooking I learned to cook Mexican reading Diana Kennedy. She unlocked Mexican cooking for me in her “Cuisines of Mexico” way back when nobody had a clue. Kind of the Julia Child of Mexican back in the day. She taught me about getting away from that nasty grocery store chili powder....
on Jan 19, 2015, Updated Apr 20, 2021 The process of making bread from scratch involves a lot of resistance from people, myself included. I found the process of making bread very intimidating as well until till I tried my hand at it recently. This bread has been adapted from The Break Baker’s Apprentice by Peter Reinhart, who is the God of bread baking. I’ve taken inspiration and tried multiple recipes from this book and this is one of my all-time favorites because it tastes heavenly and is a very healthy alternative full of fiber....
on Nov 20, 2016, Updated Jul 10, 2020 Guys it’s cocktail time! And we are talking about this Orange Cinnamon Whisky Smash. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you would know that Denver and I are a regular at bartending workshops around town, usually with the best Mixologist in Bangalore – Bala, and he’s taught us a thing or two about mixing cocktails. It usually involves some alcohol, a lot of fun and figuring out how to add your favorite flavors to your drink....
Where I live tomatoes are trucked for miles in winter. I think they’re tomatoes. That what the sign says. The taste says nothing. Nothing. Dust. In summer though, picked at the peak of ripeness from nearby farms the tomato is a magical thing. For me, it just screams summer and I work them into almost every meal for as long as they last. I’ve lifted Judy Rodger’s bread technique from her fabulous Zuni chicken with bread salad....
I had been wanting to make a cauliflower sauce for my pasta – isn’t it all the rage? – but I’ll admit that as much as I love cauliflower, I am not a fan of the boiled-cauliflower smell. No matter how much everyone in the food blog world is raving about it, and no matter how much healthier it is than other vegan cheese-sauce substitutes like cashew, I couldn’t stomach the idea of a sauce that reeked from here to cruciferous eternity....

Crispy fried chicken. Fried shallots. Cilantro. Rice noodles. And a medium boiled egg. This is Indonesia’s answer to ramen. I love noodles. And I have a thing for noodle soups. Look around glebe kitchen. Ramen. Pho. Laksa. Classic chicken noodle. Turkey noodle from scratch. Bo kho. Khao soi. Noodle soup puts me in a happy place. And soto ayam is right up there. Soto ayam is not your run of the mill bowl of noodle soup Soto ayam is unto itself....
Thai fried rice eats like a meal. Big tastes. Satisfying. I don’t know why. But it works. A culinary mystery I guess. Khao pad is street food. So there aren’t a lot of ingredients. And it cooks in no time at all. But there are subtleties here. This isn’t throw a bunch of stuff in a pot and toss it in an oven. There’s a few things you need to consider....
This tofu tikka masala – spiced, marinated tofu cubes in a luxurious, luscious and silky curry sauce – is a dish that I love making on weeknights when I want a delicious meal in a hurry. If you love velvet-textured Indian sauces like tofu makhani and vegan butter chicken, this tofu tikka masala is a recipe you will enjoy making, serving and eating. The tofu tikka masala riffs off from paneer tikka masala, a dish served in Indian restaurants (along with chicken tikka masala), where cubes of paneer, a cottage cheese, are added to an appetizing red sauce and simmered together....
Here’s a gorgeous gluten-free and vegan Almond Cake that’ll make you want to eat dessert at breakfast, lunch, dinner and all times in between. The cake is moist, tender and it is infused with citrus flavor from lemons and oranges. There’s also a glug of amaretto in here that adds amazing flavor. I love baking glutenfree treats because they taste incredibly amazing – and because they are so darn easy to put together....
