turmeric powder – Sharing my experiences as a die hard foodie!

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…

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 & 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…

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…

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…

Simple Egg Curry

This is a very simple egg curry that you can make in a jiffy and it goes well literally with anything! Am sure most people love eggs and if you don’t or can’t have them due to an allergy, by all means do substitute with tofu or paneer. I have tried so many variants of…

“Kheema” – using Impossible Beef!

Keema is a popular dish in India, made with minced mutton or beef and can be prepared as a curry or semi dry. It goes well with bread, chappati, paratha or rice.For this preparation, I used Impossible Beef (which has no meat, but made from plants!) and added carrots and sweet potato as well. I…

Methi Dal

Methi is fenugreek and I used fresh fenugreek leaves for this recipe and yellow moong dal. I have tried with toor dal also, but prefer yellow moong in this particular dish. I am yet to try with chana dal. Methi is mainly used in Indian recipes and has many health benefits like lowering blood cholesterol,…

Sweet and Sour Karela (Bitter Gourd)

You must be wondering how this can even be possible 😂! But trust me…. the sweet and tangy taste will truly deter you away from the bitterness of the bitter gourd (karela) 😉. Honestly, this was an “accidental” dish. I started off trying to make something different with bitter gourd and ended up getting an…
