Crispy, flaky Pita Packets with Broccoli and Tofu are a health nut’s dream. And a kid’s. And if you thought those two were incompatible, well, think again. It seems almost wrong that something made with leftovers should taste so good, but it does, oh it does. I had a ton of pita dough sitting in the refrigerator after making dinner for our friends Sakura and Cliff who were visiting from Australia....
You might also like these zucchini kofta curry and butternut squash curry recipes. This one-pot pumpkin curry is so hearty and flavorful! It’s also a simple recipe that gives this wonderful winter squash a chance to shine without overwhelming its naturally delicious flavor. Winter squashes are wonderful in Indian curries like this curried acorn squash. In this curry, the sauce with garam masala and cayenne nicely complements the sweetness of the pumpkin, allowing this healthful veggie to shine....
on Nov 29, 2021 I have really high standards when it comes to my favourites. And Butter Chicken tops the list. So it annoys me when butter chicken is too sweet or too oily or just doesn’t have a punch of flavour that makes you want to dive into the sauce. For a lot of people, making butter chicken at home might translate into long hours spent in the kitchen....
The more austere fasters who did starve themselves all day would feast on rich food as soon as the deadline for fasting, usually sunset, was past. One of my favorite fasting foods – although I am incapable of fasting – was sabudana or tapioca pearls. These brittle-looking, bright-white, almost luminescent pearls are gluten-free and I always have them in my pantry because they can be turned into some of the tastiest treats you can imagine, including a sweet pudding and sabudana khichdi....

Tender pork ribs. A sticky garlic black vinegar sauce. Sweet and sour in perfect balance. Complex. Tangy. Addictively delicious. I can’t stop eating them. This may not be what your takeaway is making. Not yet anyway. But it is what they should be making. The sour in sweet and sour spare ribs comes from black vinegar You’ve probably never heard of black vinegar. It sounds scary. But it’s not. It’s vinegar....
on Oct 25, 2017, Updated Jul 05, 2020 This beautiful Thai butternut squash sweet potato bisque is bursting with flavor and it tastes as delicious as it looks beautiful. The creamy, thick bisque is the perfect thing to eat as you cosy up on the couch in your sweaters and winter wear while watching your favorite holiday movies. The beautiful Thai flavors of coconut milk and the creamy texture enhanced by butternut squash and sweet potatoes, make this the perfect winter delight and a dish you simply cannot wrong with!...
I see little jars of Thai sweet chili sauce on the shelves for ridiculous money. And I don’t get it. Why pay a bunch for something that you can make for pennies? Whenever you need it. I get that if you don’t cook a lot of Asian that you won’t necessarily have sambal oelek or rice vinegar on hand. So maybe it’s not the best deal for you. But if you do, this is a no brainer....
In this fragrant, delicious Turmeric Rice, coconut and turmeric complement each other beautifully, elevating an easy and fuss-free side dish to an exquisite and memorable one. I love cooking and sharing easy and healthy rice recipes because rice is a big favorite in our home. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out this lemon rice, dill rice, zucchini rice, carrot rice, Mexican green rice and red rice, and jeera rice, among dozens more....
on Aug 27, 2021 1990s flashback: My family and I would go on holidays and we’d take the train of course. Lots of homemade snacks packed for the journey, but we’d always buy breakfast from the pantry – soggy beetroot veg cutlets, soft bread, butter and cheap ketchup. I wouldn’t call them tasty now, but there was something about those cutlets back then which was irresistible! This vegetable cutlet recipe is largely based on my memories of eating those railway style cutlets....
You might also enjoy these recipes for vegan cinnamon cake, vegan lemon rolls and vegan orange rolls. After going vegan I began experimenting with the perfect cinnamon roll recipe, and I have found it! This recipe is not just delicious and as good as anything you can buy at a restaurant (or in a strategically placed food court at your local mall), it is better. And what’s even more amazing is that it’s a super easy recipe you can put together with just a few minutes of hands on work....
Here’s a meal that will set every heart, adult, teen and child, racing when you bring it to the table on a Saturday afternoon–or a weeknight: a bubbling, creamy and savory vegan French Fry Casserole with a creamy filling of veggies topped with golden, crunchy French fries. It’s a delicious and easy dish, one with universal appeal, and it’s also healthyish. Yes, sure the French fries steal the spotlight here....
I’ve always loved white chocolate madly–a madness that has led me to make such confections as this vegan White Chocolate Raspberry Cake, Vegan White Chocolate Pie, Vegan White Chocolate Bark, and this Vegan GF White Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie. Recently, on my low-carb journey, I developed an insatiable craving for a cup of white chocolate. So I went into the kitchen and experimented with this and that and now I have for you what has quickly become my favorite beverage: a delicious and creamy vegan white hot chocolate....
It’s hard to stay away from sweets during this time of year and now that the season for everything orange is on, I couldn’t help but make one of my quickest and most favorite recipes: Mango Halwa. This vegan Mango Halwa is a variation on my vegan sooji halwa recipe, but the finished dish tastes really different because of the mango pulp. I’d be hard put to it to decide which one’s better: they are each exquisitely delicious in their own way....
You might also like these Indian style chilli garlic noodles and soba noodles with mushrooms and tofu. On cool Fall evenings, my stomach begins to growl for something hot and delicious that I can slurp up from a bowl. Although I’ve left college far behind, ramen noodles often find their way into my pantry, partly because they were so popular in India when I was growing up. When I was working my first job in Bombay as a journalist, my co-worker and friend Rajee and I would sometimes make a dash to her home after work and stir up a quick meal of Maggi noodles (the brand name ramen was available by in India)....
Nothing says summer quite like tomatoes. But you’ve made that yummy homemade tomato sauce and the tomato compote and the tomato chutney and you still have more delicious tomatoes than you know what to do with! Well, then, make this amazing vegan tomato pie. If you love pizza (or are you for real?) you will love this tomato pie. It has gooey cheese, sweet basil and all that tomatoey goodness....
Summer is all about grilling, and you can’t find a better bread to cradle that delicious veggie burger you just cooked up than this vegan and whole wheat burger bun. This is an amazing bun: soft, fluffy, and it slices into half perfectly. You can make it either part whole-wheat or all-whole-wheat, and get a great result either way. You can easily customize this recipe to get the right texture for your bun: soft, or slightly crusty....
It’s serious fare. Big enough to be the star. The main attraction. Unless your idea of a vegetable is the potatoes next to your steak. If you can handle eating a carrot. Or a slice of cucumber. If you have any omnivore tendencies at all. Then maybe this will do it. It does for me. Doesn’t really matter though. Makes a great side dish. Try it that way. Maybe it will convince you....
My Cauliflower Wild Rice Pilaf is a healthy and delicious one-pot meal that is quick enough to cook up for family on a weekday night and elegant enough to serve company. It also makes a great brown bag lunch. In Indian cooking, a pilaf or pulao is a rather spare rice dish seasoned with a few spices. It’s different – and less fussy – than other rice dishes like a biryani, say, where the spices are richer and where the ingredients are separately cooked and then put together....
on Apr 15, 2022 I think the only way to eat baby corn is to deep fry it. And then toss the crispy bits with Chinese sauces and veggies. You see where I’m going with this? Babycorn Chilli is a popular starter at parties and I hate that it starts to go limp and soggy by the time it reaches the table. Plus I never get my fill. Love Indian Chinese?...
