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 […]

Anda Curry (Egg Curry)…My way!
Anda Curry is one of Piyush’s favorite dinners. It’s inexpensive, incredibly quick to throw together and is super simple to make! In fact, it’s so easy that Piyush is usually the one who makes this dish for himself–although his recipe is completely different than mine. He likes his curries “watery” and I prefer mine thick. […]
Aloo Sabzi: Potatoes Cooked in Mustard Oil
Sometimes the most ordinary of foods can be made extraordinary simply by pairing them with the right ingredients. For this delicious potato dish, I took a lot of inspiration from my mother-in-law’s cooking and the tasty foods I ate while in West Bengal.
Gulab Jamuns and Kala Jamuns: Indian Sweet Success!
Whoa! I haven’t blogged for over a week! I had quite a few posts started, but I just couldn’t find the motivation (or the time!) to complete them.

On the (very) rare occasions that my mom prepared this unpopular–at least in my […]
Home-Style Chicken Masala (Indian-Spiced Chicken Stew)
It’s no secret that I love Indian food. Love may even be an understatement. Truthfully, I am obsessed with the cuisine! Sure, I enjoy the typical restaurant fare: chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, and even heaps of naan slathered with ghee (clarified butter). Yes, I admitted it. I love ghee. But, that’s not the point…(**quickly […]
Bengali-Inspired Raw Vegetable Salad
My days have been quite busy, and my nights have been so short; I feel like time just flies! For this reason, I’ve not been blogging quite so much; and instead I’ve been relying on quick, easy and nutritious dinners. Mostly vegetarian. The other night I made this incredible salad: It is very similar to […]
Bengali Shrimp Malai Curry
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 […]
