This is restaurant style veg kadai recipe. The gravy is made from chopped onions and pureed tomatoes. because of the chopped onions in it, the gravy is not smooth like paneer butter masala but it has some texture in it.

I was inspired to make these little bites after wanting to make a “nacho-like” dish starring twice-baked sweet potatoes. The idea to add black beans was natural. The two pair together like PB&J. Then I just had to do some elegant dressing: Green onions, salsa, manchego cheese, and avocado crema. These Mexican-inspired bites are so simple to throw together. Just bake until soft, split open, scoop out the insides, and then load them up with black beans or a protein of your choice and sprinkle with cheese....

Here maah means urad dal (in this recipe it is split urad dal with skin), Chole ki dal means chana dal. So as the name says it is made from urad dal and chana dal with very less spices.

This maah chole ki dal is slightly creamy too because of the urad dal....

I’ve been cutting back on coffee lately. I find it rather acidic on my stomach, and in my old age, it now makes me jittery (true story). But on mornings that I need a little pick-me-up, I love a warm cup of green tea. What is Matcha? Matcha is a powdered green tea containing 137 times more antioxidants than brewed green tea (like, whoa). Both come from the tea plant (camellia sinensis), but with matcha, the entire leaf is consumed....

As you all know, oats are healthy, full of nutrition, fiber and of course filling to the stomach. So I do include them in my diet. I usually prefer warm oatmeal (with apple, cinnamon and honey topping) as a breakfast rather than making Indian recipe using oats. Just because I don’t have that much time in busy mornings. As said earlier, this is instant oats idli recipe. Hence no soaking, no fermentation required like regular idlis....

Slowly but lovingly, I’ve been chipping away at this Chicken Pulao recipe for years. Pulao (also spelled Pilau), a delicately spiced rice dish, is a tad behind (truthfully, very far behind) Chicken Biryani in popularity. A Houston restaurant owner once told me he’d have to throw out the Pulao every night because nobody would pick it over Biryani. Enter your email below and get it sent straight to your inbox....

Assuming you’ve ever been into a gas station and fell to the temptation of peanut butter cheese crackers, I’m guessing you know they’re a thing and they’re ridiculously delicious. I used to eat them all the time growing up as they’re one of my favorite road trip snack foods. Road trips + trashy snacks = best time ever. It’s science. Since cutting dairy completely out of my diet I’ve avoided these crackers at all cost....

One evening, I made the Roasted Chickpea Tabouleh Salad from our cookbook but added some fresh red pepper, roasted broccoli, and sweet potato. I love making old things new again. The other amazing thing about this recipe? You can pick up 90% of the ingredients at the farmers market. Grab a beautiful head of broccoli, a sweet potato or two, some fresh dill and garlic, and a bell pepper and you’re pretty much set....

But it’s grain-free, fluffier, has a more subtle banana flavor, and it’s decadent like a Costco chocolate muffin.

A bowl full of greens, veggies, olives, hummus, falafel, and tahini sauce. Swoon. I’m convinced I could eat this every day for the rest of my life and never tire of it. Who’s with me!? The base of this bowl is my go-to parsley, tomato, and onion salad with a simple dressing of lemon juice, olive oil, and sea salt. It takes 5 minutes and I make it at least once a week for falafel night....

Moms, birthdays, and sprinkles are the best (in that order). I’m so excited I finally got around to vegan-izing funfetti cupcakes. Up until this point my favorite flavor of vegan cupcakes has been chocolate, so it was due time to try my hand at good old fashioned vanilla. Turns out, vanilla has my heart, especially when sprinkles are involved. This recipe may look a little complicated, but I assure you it only requires 1 bowl and less than 1 hour!...

These cookies start with a wholesome base of almond flour, rolled oats, and our DIY gluten-free flour blend. They’re infused with cinnamon, leavened with baking powder, sweetened with brown sugar, and get a flavor boost from sea salt. To mimic the properties of eggs, we used aquafaba. It’s the brine from a can of chickpeas, and when whipped, it’s practically magic how much fluffiness and binding it provides, similar to whipped egg whites....

The base starts with creamy coconut milk, either DIY or light store-bought. If you’re not into coconut, you could also sub just about any other dairy-free milk, like rice or almond! Next comes cacao butter, which adds not only richness but also that quintessential buttery chocolate flavor. Swoon! All that’s left is maple syrup for natural sweetness, vanilla and spices for flavor, sea salt for balance, and coconut butter for even more richness....

I’m already a condiment and sauce lover, so if there’s legit house-made ketchup somewhere chances are I’ve tried it. Oddly enough though, I’ve never made my own! That had to change. Since my love for the whiskey BBQ ketchup has become borderline obsession, I decided to try my hand at it. Although it’s not a total 1:1 match, I got dang close! It has all the rich flavor of ketchup with a hint of smoky BBQ and a boozy undertone....
