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 […]

Dabeli: The Best Vegetarian (and Vegan!) “Burger” I’ve Ever Eaten!
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 […]
Indian Inspired Pasta Salad
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 […]
Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza!
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 […]

Chai: Indian-Style Tea
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 […]
Chicken Jalfrezi
It’s no secret that I love Indian style curries. They’re delicious, spicy, and usually pretty healthy (assuming you are making them yourself!). Yesterday, I shared my recipe for a good gravy base that will have you turning out curry after curry in no time. Today, I’m going to show you how to use that base […]
Curry in a Hurry! Simple Curry Base Recipe
Do you love Indian style curries, but don’t make them at home because you think they take too much time? Or effort? Or skill? Do you make curries at home, only to find that they’re nothing like the ones you order at your favorite restaurant? I’m going to let you in on a little secret…something […]
Shrimp Fajitas (without the funky chemical “spices”)
Have you ever went to the grocery store with the intention of making either fajitas or tacos that night for dinner? Did you pick up some amazingly fresh produce, buy some lovely seafood (or equally expensive chicken breasts), and then throw one of those packaged fajita/taco seasoning pouches in your cart? I have. Many times. […]
Easy Aloo Tikki (Potato Patty)
I thought today was a good day to prepare and freeze some Momos. Piyush and I are planning on visiting my family this weekend, and I wanted to take some easy—and healthy—food along. My family lives in a tiny town where there really aren’t many options for food. There are even less options for good […]
