Palak Chicken

I made this dish on a whim and it turned out so well. Before I continue, let me tell you that I stopped eating all forms of meat about 2 years back, but I do make an occasional chicken dish for my husband. So, I bought chicken breast since I have not been cooking meat…

Lemony Peppery Salmon

If you like lemon, salmon and crushed black pepper, then you will really enjoy this dish, as it’s loaded with lemon juice and crushed black pepper. You have to squeeze fresh lemon over the salmon just before serving and it’s yumms! I was just playing around with the ingredients, as I was looking for something…

Dum Aloo

Aloo is potato and Dum means cooking with steam. This is a typical north Indian dish and if you love potatoes, you will love this dish with its thick yogurt curry. For this dish, I used baby potatoes and I did not remove the skin. Besides having it with naan, chapati or rice, I think…

Egg Biryani

It’s been 2 years now since I’ve stopped eating mutton and chicken and when I crave for biryani, it’s usually fish. But this time I wanted something different; so I tried out egg biryani for a change. For me when it comes to biryani, it’s all in the gravy. The gravy has to be thick…

Egg & Potato Curry

This is yet another quick and easy dish to prepare and super delicious too! I only threw in the potatoes cos I didn’t know what to do with them, plus hubby can have potatoes 24/7/365, so why not! 😂 I was just trying to do something different with eggs and threw in the potatoes as…

Pepper Paneer

This is a super quick and easy dish to make and so very tasty too! I love paneer, but am not a huge fan of bell pepper (capsicum). Anyways I just love this recipe, probably cos of the charred paneer, black pepper and the lemon juice. I do saute the paneer at the end for…

Potato & Baby Spinach

This is a very simple and quick dish to make and super delicious too! I used baby spinach for a change, just so that I would do away with the extra chopping of the usual spinach with the stems and all. With baby spinach, you just have to wash them and it’s ready to be…

Aloo Gobi

In Hindi, aloo means potato and gobi can either be cabbage or cauliflower. This is a typical North Indian dish and in my opinion, the key to any good North Indian dish is the generous amount of cumin seeds and tomatoes. Do not stinge on either of these and your dishes will be yummy! This…

Punjabi Chhole

Chhole is a variety of chickpea also known as chana or kala chana. Kala chana is the black chickpea and is a rich source of iron and minerals. I love black chana and was looking to cook it in a different way when hubby suggested that I cook it Punjabi style. You may wonder what’s…

Meatless Meat with Chickpeas

This meatless meat or vegan meat is the latest craze in town, but I really don’t understand why it has to be so expensive! Anyway, when I saw this in the local supermarket, I just had to try it. If you recall, I had tried the other latest craze called Impossible Beef and made kheema…
