There are a lot of recipes out there that claim to be “the best.” But when I tell you that this is THE best vegan jackfruit “meat” taco recipe out there, I’m not joking! I’ve put so much time into creating this recipe and have even tested it on people who LOVE pork and think […]
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 […]
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. […]
Last year at this time tomato soup would have been the last thing on my mind! Instead, I was preoccupied with my “baby” plants, berry picking and killing those stubborn Canadian Thistles…Seriously, how do you get rid of those things?! Unfortunately, this year has been the complete opposite of the last. Winter is holding on […]
I’ve mentioned once or twice a million times that I’ve been on a diet. How exciting?! Actually, I’m trying to think of it more as a lifestyle change. I’m not depriving myself, I’m just not over-doing it, either. My new way of eating really focuses on portion sizes and eating more frequently. Truthfully, it sucks. That being said, it works. […]
**This recipe can easily be made Vegetarian or Vegan** I mentioned, a few days ago, about using leftover Indian Spiced Shrimp (recipe HERE) to make my husband a special, savory Indian-inspired breakfast. Now, if you don’t eat shrimp, are looking for a vegan option, or are hoping to find a gluten-free alternative to pancakes, this […]
I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful time celebrating the New Year! 2012 was a pretty good year for Piyush and I; and I’m so excited to see what 2013 has in store for us! I’m also stoked (yes, I said “stoked!”) about what’s in store for My Fancy Pantry in 2013! Thank you […]
I’m not a huge fan of seafood, but the other night while I was paging through one of my cookbooks (Gordon Ramsay’s Great Escape: India) I noticed a beautiful photo of a whole sea bass cooked in banana leaves. I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind since. It’s pretty much embedded. I’ve […]
I have so much I’d like to write about tonight, but the words just won’t flow. Have you ever had a day like that? It’s frustrating, to say the least. This past Saturday and Sunday was my scheduled weekend to work; and man, was it a doozy. Working at a hospital is hard. Really hard. […]
