This hearty, DELICIOUS vegan chickpea quinoa burger with a southwestern flair is perfect eats when the weather warms up and you crave a hearty burger to sink your teeth in. This is not just a yummy burger, though–I created it to be hefty enough to throw on the outdoor grill and to be incredibly healthy as well, just like other veggie burger recipes I’ve shared with you, including this black bean burger and this quinoa bean burger....
on Apr 01, 2014, Updated Sep 05, 2020 Bulgur porridge or Daliya, as many people know it, has a lot of nutritional properties. and is a whole wheat product which results in positive effects on our metabolism rate. Besides the fact that it is very healthy and delicious, I have a personal attachment to this dish because I have grown up eating it. My mum would make it every time we wanted something comforting and light, yet full of flavor....
on Dec 15, 2020 NO ONE… Literally no one will turn down a bowl of this yummy, light and fluffy garlic mashed potatoes – It is THE ultimate comfort food! It is such a good side dish for roasted meats, spicy gravies or even roasted vegetables. This recipe tastes exactly like the stuff they serve at restaurants. And there’s one specific step which makes it restaurant style – how the potatoes are mashed....
on Sep 14, 2017, Updated Aug 26, 2020 Guys this sauce is EPIC. There is something about sundried tomato, garlic and cream that just makes the most delicious sauce ever. And we are not even pretending to be healthy here. Because every once in a while, you don’t mind the calories as long as your meal is utterly and completely satisfying. And I’m doing a major face plant in this creamy sun-dried tomato chicken with pasta....
I love all vegan soups and stews (especially when they are as cozy as this amazing vegan cream of mushroom soup). Now this ultra comforting and creamy vegan Cauliflower Soup has gone to the top of my favorites. Winter cooking to me is all about foods that feel warm and cozy on the inside, and they don’t all have to include pumpkin or pumpkin spice or some variation thereof. (No offence, punkin....
I need just one word to describe this Creamy Vegan Polenta with Wild Mushrooms. Mindblowing. But… I simply can’t resist saying more. Here’s a dish so delicious, you’ll be left licking your bowl and your spoon and the pan. And at the end of it all, you’ll wish you’d made enough to feed an army so you could eat it all yourself. This recipe has so much going for it....
Dill is perhaps one of the most underused herbs, and it’s really not fair because this is an outstanding herb that can magically transform a drab recipe into a spectacular one, with its slightly bitter, slightly sweet and incredibly delicious flavor profile. In India, dill is eaten as a vegetable. Vegetable vendors who’d line the streets with their straw baskets would sell it under the Marathi name, shepu, and I have memories of my mom cooking it up into a tasty sabzi, or a vegetable side....
There has been a lot of discussion in recent years about probiotic and prebiotic foods and the immense benefits they offer not just to our physical but also to our emotional health. Your intestines, like the rest of your body, are teeming with bacteria, trillions of them, helping you digest what you eat. Scientists have discovered that so powerful is the effect of your gut microbiome, as this ecosystem is called, on your overall health, that it can affect how you feel, how you look, and even how you think....
on Jul 28, 2021, Updated Oct 15, 2021 I’m creating a huge repository of Indian Chinese recipes because I love them so so much! And I know you guys are crazy about them too. And this Gobi Manchurian had to join the list. What is Gobi Manchurian Gobi Manchurian is more an Indian dish than a Chinese dish, where crispy deep fried florets of cauliflower or gobi are tossed with ginger, garlic, green chillies, onion and capsicum along with a sweet, spicy soy sauce based sauce till the gobi is just coated so that it can retain its crispiness....
on Nov 12, 2019, Updated Aug 23, 2020 Like everything else on this site, here’s another dinner recipe that’s razor fast. I’ve been to Thailand once and I was having this (also called Pad Gra Pow) and variations of this all the time. The smell of Thai basil chicken cooking on the street and the sound of the wok is so so hard to resist. There are many ways you can make this recipe – with pieces of chicken (use chicken thighs if you want to go this way because thighs will stay juicier than breasts), ground chicken like I’ve used here (the advantage is that you don’t have to chop anything and it goes straight from the packet to the pan) or stir fried with rice for thai basil chicken fried rice....
If you believe the internet, enchiladas verdes are a casserole. They are made with flour tortillas. Baked for 30 minutes. Full of bland chicken. Just not good. A big soggy mess. Forget what the internet says. Wait. This is the internet. Confusing, isn’t it… Enchiladas verdes can be great I started thinking about enchiladas after a trip to San Antonio. They take their enchiladas verdes very seriously there. I tried them in a few different places....
on Oct 23, 2015, Updated Aug 01, 2023 Palak Paneer kofta is my take on doing something different with our family favourite palak paneer and combining it with my love for koftas. For me, koftas should be soft and pillowy, creamy and crispy all at the same time. Instead of deep frying these, I use a paniyaram pan to cook the koftas so they are healthier but give the same results!...
on Apr 13, 2023 When it comes to weeknight dinners, I’m all about convenience – but without compromising on nutrition and flavour. And that’s what I love about my #PressureCookerMarch series because you’re just chucking your choice of protein and veggies into one pot and returning to a nourishing and yummy meal prepped and ready. I love using my Instant Pot for convenience, but a Pressure Cooker works perfectly well too....
on Sep 26, 2020 The pressure cooker has been a constant in Indian kitchens since forever. But we think it’s time for an upgrade and we are here to tell you why. Don’t misunderstand us, we love our traditional pressure cookers and still use them. But the Instant Pot is a game changer and after using it for four years, we almost want to replace our stovetop PC’s with it....
Pork isn’t common for chili. I get that a good beef chili is hard to beat. But this carne adovada gives it a run for its money. And that’s up against a really good beef chili. It will beat your average beef chili. No contest. Pork chunks make for great chili I am a huge fan of chunks of meat when I make chili. I’m not such a big fan of ground meat versions....
on Apr 12, 2022 Love Paneer? Try Paneer Butter Masala, Paneer Biryani, Paneer Chilli, Palak Paneer, Paneer Kathi Roll and Paneer Tikka Originally, Shahi Paneer is a Mughlai style paneer recipe and has a very rich mouthfeel. It is made without tomatoes and has a white gravy. I’m not a fan of that version because it feels too heavy and can be very sweet. This is the Punjabi or North Indian version of shahi paneer that is made with onions, tomatoes, cashews, cream and a mix of spices....
on Jul 23, 2020, Updated Aug 14, 2020 When I was growing up, mum always entrusted me with the task of soaking beans overnight for the next day’s menu. And of course, I always forgot. Now when I savour my creamy homemade hummus, I understand why she used to breathe down my neck about… well, everything, and soaking beans in specific. I’ll get to the quick fix for the forgot-to-soak-beans situation in just a bit....
on Mar 27, 2018, Updated Aug 25, 2020 I promised you a ton of salads this summer and here’s another one that’s more like a meal but still a salad. Let’s be honest here. I’ve moved away from thinking salads are enough to understanding that I want to eat salads that truly feel like they are enough for dinner. And there’s a difference you know. I’ve eaten too many salads that feel like bird food to know that I don’t want to touch another one....
on Nov 18, 2017, Updated Aug 25, 2020 To be honest, there is no regulation around guidelines for how to measure prawn sizes or a standard sizing for prawns (shrimp). But that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything new to know. While buying prawns, you will often see prawns being segregated into jumbo, large, medium and small. Then there are also colossal prawns which are rare to find but extremely juicy....
Here’s a recipe that looks comforting, tastes delicious and is extremely easy to make, with just about 15 minutes of hands-on cooking time. My Vegan Artichoke Potato Gratin. Each bite of this dish is creamy and has the unique flavor of artichokes. These thorny green globes are in season now, but I made my job a little easier by using frozen artichoke hearts because who has the time to prep artichokes?...
