I owe this sweet little number to the bright, happy things in half-empty containers that littered my fridge: straggling berries at the brink of overripeness; a scrap of jam I was saving for a small piece of toast (or midnight graham cracker dunk); a half-empty can of coconut milk. I hate throwing food away, not only because I find it wasteful, but also because I feel that by doing so, I have given up on its potential....

Stuffed eggplant curry is made very commonly in many states but the stuffing is very much different in every region. Gutti vankaya, Badanekayi ennegayi & Ennai kathirikai are some of the popular south Indian versions made in most households. There is another version known as Bharli vangi from Maharashtrian cuisine which is another amazing delicious curry. Most of these dishes are made with ingredients like peanuts, chana dal, coconut, tamarind, red chilies etc....

Know more About Bhatura Bhatura is a North Indian deep fried bread made with a leavened dough of all-purpose flour, yogurt, salt and a leavening agent. Portions of the leavened dough is rolled to flat oval or round shaped discs and deep fried to perfection.

Buttery, flakey biscuit dough wrapped around a gooey cinnamon sugar filling and topped with buttermilk glaze, these pinwheels of sweet breakfast bliss will brighten even the grayest of days. They’re the perfect treat for those times where you’re needing a moment of quiet reserve…and carbs. Some find comfort in One Bowl Brownies, others reach for Cinnamon Blondies. Personally, my carby comfort food vote will always be for biscuit cinnamon rolls (or Chocolate Chai Cinnamon Rolls if it’s been an especially long week)....

Every spring, I come down with a fierce craving for carrot cake. It’s the way of Mother Nature. The frost melts. The tulips bloom. The baby animals are born. I am seized by an emergency need for carrot cake. At the same time, however, I can’t in good conscience say that keeping an entire carrot cake around for a household of three, even this Healthy Carrot Cake recipe, is a particularly prudent idea....

Fresh carrots can be simply peeled and eaten raw or even grilled....

This post is sponsored by Nuts.com One year ago I was living one of the most amazing experiences of my life, in Italy! ?? My journey lasted a month and started in Tuscany, with a food photography workshop. From there, I met my parents – who flew from Brazil to explore Italy with me – and we visited quite a few cities, like Milan, Rome, the Vatican, Sutri, Florence, Siena, Parma, Assisi, Venice, Verona and the Amalfi Coast....

This cauliflower chowder arrived in our kitchen a bit ahead of schedule. I usually wait until the weather cools off more substantially to ease into my soup regimen, a highly unofficial but undeniably predictable series of months in which I cook a giant pot of soup on Sunday, reheat it every day for lunch until Friday, then repeat week after week until spring. Soup is warm, comforting, filling, and healthy all at the same time....

Secret Mexican Chicken Recipe #11, this one deserves its own stand-alone post. I’d call it lazy chicken enchiladas, except that name doesn’t do it justice. You see “lazy” does nothing to communicate the taste euphoria that is juicy shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, soft corn tortillas, beans, and cheese (lots of cheese!) bubbling away until the tortillas soften, the creamy sauce wraps itself around every morsel, and the entire shebang tastes like the daily special at your favorite no-frills authentic Mexican joint (I mean this as a compliment)....

The first part of this recipe, i.e making chicken fry or vepudu is already on the blog but to serve it with plain rice. I am sharing in detail here how to make it for this chicken fry biryani. Chicken is stir fried here and not deep fried. There is a bit of preparation work for this recipe, but the results are worth as good as the Hyderabadi chicken biryani....

The recipe shared here is much similar to this mutton keema. You can also use this recipe to make boiled egg keema or soya keema. I have used homemade chicken mince so it is not fine. If using ready minced meat or machine minced meat the texture will be more fine. This chicken keema is easy to make, tastes delicious and can be used in so many other ways. It can be used as a stuffing in your samosas, sandwiches, wraps, kathi rolls, parathas etc....

About Chicken Tikka Masala Chicken tikka masala is a classic curried dish with soft tender chunks of char-grilled chicken, simmered briefly in a delicious & super aromatic tikka masala sauce/gravy.

The word tikka literally means a piece or chunk and here chicken tikka are grilled chunks of chicken that are first marinated in spiced & herbed yogurt and then char-grilled to perfection....

Waldorf salad is crisp, crunchy, and so ridiculously refreshing, you’ll never look at salads the same way again! This easy dish is packed with apples, grapes, raisins, and walnuts, just to name a few. The combination of Greek yogurt and mayonnaise in the dressing is just magical. It’s mildly sweet and ultra-creamy! It has a wonderful tartness to it, too, which adds to its impeccable flavor. Whether you serve it for lunch or as a side for dinner, this salad will not disappoint....

Made with canned chickpeas, peanut butter, pure maple syrup, and chocolate chips, it’s vegan, easy to adapt to different diets (see notes below to make it grain free and nut free), and most importantly of all: It legitimately tastes like cookie dough. It does not taste like beans. Using pureed garbanzo beans to make healthy cookie recipes is one of those tricks I was super into shortly after college, when I asked for this food processor for my birthday (PSA: 13+ years later, it still runs like a dream)....

This easy Chickpea Tuna Salad is a colorful mix of fresh summer vegetables and two staples you can always (and I mean ALWAYS) find in my pantry: canned chickpeas and canned tuna. Yes, canned tuna. This is not a vegan tuna substitute recipe (if you are looking for something with the texture of tuna salad but that is fish-free, check out this ultra tasty reader favorite: Chickpea Salad Sandwich). Maybe I spent too much time at the nerd table in middle school with the other kids who shared my misfortune of needing braces and glass at the same time, but I have a deep appreciation for ingredients like canned tuna that are often passed over....

In fact, we even love to make our hotdogs with pretzels, and you can find out how to make those by following the easy instructions in this air fryer pretzel dogs recipe. These cinnamon and sugar pretzel bites take snacking on pretzels to a whole different level. It’s like combining cinnamon rolls and pretzels, all into one....

Eggs and avocados basically top my list of favorite foods, so whenever I hear about a new way to prepare either of them, I am on it. And while the famous internet fluffy cloud eggs recipe (sometimes called “egg clouds” or “eggs in a cloud“) is definitely not new, I love creating a good tutorial! So, if you haven’t made these before, this guide will tell you everything you need to know: how to make cloud eggs, ingredients needed (hint: it’s just 3 simple ones for the base!...
