Across the United States, everyone has their favorite version of Chili–a thick stew made with peppers, beans (debatable), meat, tomatoes, and spices. My favorite version is Pav Bhaji. It’s an Indian style buttery, mashed vegetable curry served with spiced buns. And it is DELICIOUS. I know what you’re thinking. Pav Bhaji isn’t chili. And you’re […]
I love lamb. Although we don’t eat it often, it probably is my favorite meat–if it’s cooked right. Lamb is one of those meats that can be a little tricky to cook. Sure, you can toss it in a pressure cooker and cook it that way…but I just don’t think the taste is the same. […]
Lately, Friday night has become Pizza Night in our household. …Vegetarian Pizza Night, to be more accurate. I make the dough, sauces, and chop up all the toppings in the afternoon, let the dough rise for a few hours; and by the time Piyush and I are ready for dinner, all I have to do […]
This post and recipe have been updated on my new blog, Spiced up Mom. Please click the photo below to be taken to the new recipe! I have a confession to make. I am a judgmental, picky–sometimes even bratty–eater. I always have been. If something looks funny, I might still try it; but I make no […]
The korma-style curry is my ultimate favorite. It’s sweet, mildly spicy, creamy…and just tastes so exotic. One taste, and I was hooked! I’ve tried many different recipes–all of which weren’t quite right–and have 34 versions saved in my bookmarks… in a folder titled “I will Conquer Korma.” True story. This curry has driven me insane trying to […]
Indian street food is like nothing else I’ve experienced. It’s creative, it’s delicious and it’s cheap! I’m not quite sure what makes the taste so unforgettable–some say it’s the oil, and the spices…most say it’s the dirt and the dust. Whatever it is…it works! Before I went to India I was warned by my doctor, my […]
This pasta salad isn’t like most pasta salads I’ve eaten. It’s different…in a good way. I was trying to think of something easy, fresh and light to bring along to my family Easter pot-luck; but nothing sounded good. I wanted something to counter-balance all the candy I knew I would be eating. I mean…seriously, look […]
One night while Piyush and I were touring around India, we decided not to go out for dinner. We were so tired, we turned on the tv and ordered room service. Because we were staying at a pretty expensive hotel…the food was also expensive. Piyush couldn’t stand the idea that we were going to pay […]

I remember the first time I had a sip of tea. I was about 7 years old and in second grade. My best friend at the time, Anita, was spending the night and we decided to have a tea party. We raided my mom’s cupboards and found some old (antique) cups and saucers. We also […]
