I feel like I’m living a dream–I was chosen out of 10s of thousands of applicants to be a contestant on MasterChef! I can’t wait to share a bit more about this adventure with you all, but I’ve been a bit busy trying to keep up with my kids, messages and updating some of the […]
Hard-boiled eggs are currently all the rage. With Easter only a couple days away, they are EVERYWHERE! Because the thought of eating plain hard boiled eggs for the next week straight makes me a bit squeemish–I thought I’d share a few recipes to use them up! First up is this recipe for Golden Eggs (Turmeric […]
Khichdi. Khichurdi. Khichuri. No matter how you spell it, this dish–made of rice and dal (lentils)–is the epitome of Indian comfort food. It’s one of the first foods Indian children are given and any aunty will tell you that it is the best food to soothe an aching stomach. Simply put, khichdi is Indian “soul […]
I love a good chicken curry, and this Curry Leaf and Black Pepper Chicken Curry recipe is no exception! I’ve taken inspiration from some of the delicious foods I tasted while visiting Kerala, India; using a pretty common flavor profile for that area.

Ok, that might be a pretty exaggerated statement, but really. This soup is good.
I love the food of Southern India and lemon rice is one of my most favorites. It’s tangy, spicy and incredibly easy to make. Found both in homes and on the menus of fancy restaurants, lemon rice is simple food that can also be quite impressive. This quick and easy lemon rice recipe can be […]
Put that new Instant Pot you received for Christmas to work and warm up with a big bowl of this Cauliflower, Sausage and Kale Soup. It took me a long time to actually purchase an Instant Pot. I heard so many rave reviews, but had a hard time justifying adding another appliance to my kitchen. […]
Today was chilly, rainy, and gloomy. It was the kind of day that requires a steaming glass of chai and a plate full of pakoras (spiced, battered and fried vegetable or meat fritters). My family loves all pakoras–but no one loves them more than my toddler, Arjun. He’s absolutely crazy for them! So much so […]
This post and recipe for Chingri Malaikari (Shrimp Curry with Coconut Milk) originally appeared on my old blog, My Fancy Pantry in 2012. I have updated the recipe here and made changes according to how I currently make this dish. I’ve learned a lot since then, so my recipes and methods have also evolved. I […]
