❤️ About This Undhiyu Recipe The meaning of the dish name ‘Undhiyu’: It is derived from the Gujarati language word ‘Undhu’ means upside down. Traditionally, the masala coated veggies are added into the earthen pot (matlu or matka). Then it is sealed properly and placed upside down in the fire pit dug into the ground. Plus, hot coal is also added on top. All the veggies in an earthen pot are slow-cooked which gives unique flavor and aroma....
Recently, I’ve been craving them all the time. For instance, in granola or buried under a mound of chickpeas, Mediterranean style. But I’ve yet to thrust them into the breakfast scene. And if there’s one nutrient-packed root veg that deserves the morning spotlight, it’s this guy. Origins of Sweet Potato Pie It’s believed that sweet potatoes originated in Peru and made their way on trade routes to West Africa and Western Europe in the 16th century....
We wanted to bring the nostalgia of Girl Scout cookies into our kitchen and remake this classic cookie, but with a healthier spin. We’re happy to report that our inspired version is not only naturally gluten-free, vegan, and grain-free, but it’s also incredibly quick and easy to make and (no joke) tastes exactly like the real thing! Let us show you how it’s done! The BEST Thin Mint Cookies The crisp, cookie portion of these Thin Mints is made with simple ingredients: almond flour and tapioca starch, which combine for a seriously perfect, crisp cookie texture....
It’s buttery, savory, brimming with garlicky goodness, and can be made gluten-free, too! With just 7 ingredients and 25 minutes required, all your garlic bread dreams are about to come true. Let’s do this! Who Invented Garlic Bread? Garlic bread (also called garlic toast) is one of the most delicious things ever created. It’s a strong claim, but one we stand behind! So who is to thank for this delicious creation?...
This version puts our 2-Ingredient Coconut Yogurt to good use for the ultimate tangy-sweet treat. Let’s do this! The base of this 10-ingredient recipe is raw cashews and coconut yogurt! This duo creates the creamiest, dreamiest coconut yogurt base we’ve ever tasted. For more flavor, we added orange zest, lemon juice for even more tanginess, and maple syrup for natural sweetness. Once blended, pour into the 3-ingredient date-walnut crust (with sea salt!...
Yeah, I think that’s how it goes. I don’t know anyone (besides John) who doesn’t love brownies. (Trust me, I’ve tried to convince him otherwise.) Fudgy, rich, super chocolaty, studded with delicious things. If I were to say I had a “vice,” it would probably be brownies (or ice cream – tough call). While I do love my black bean brownies (see the naturally sweetened version here), sometimes I want to have a dessert that doesn’t have beans in it....
Let’s do this. This is the second post brought to you in partnership with Bob’s Red Mill! I have been anxiously awaiting the opportunity share with you guys about their new gluten-free flour blend. While their first blend was made with bean flours, this new blend is bean-free, delicious, and extremely versatile! As you can see, it makes an amazing, crisp, flavorful gluten-free pie crust totally possible! Major win in my book....
Imagine this: a perfectly baked, tender cookie studded with dark chocolate (or dried fruit!) that’s naturally sweetened, vegan, gluten-free, and grain-free! Plus, it’s made with 10 wholesome ingredients you probably have on hand right now. Let’s bake! The base of this cookie is inspired and adapted from my Best Almond Meal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Aquafaba provides moisture and binding (acting as our egg substitute), almond flour and shredded coconut replace traditional flours, and coconut oil replaces butter....
As you might’ve guessed, I’ve recreated this childhood classic with real, whole food ingredients so they’re now vegan and gluten-free! Let’s do this! This 9-ingredient recipe starts with a mix of organic cane sugar (or coconut sugar), coconut oil, and a hefty pour of vanilla. I relied on aquafaba for an egg replacer that is colorless, helps bind, and also contributes to a little rise when baking. For flours, I went with a mix of almond flour, guten-free flour blend, and cornstarch (or arrowroot starch)....
My family lived in New Mexico and my mom would take me to half-day Kindergarten in the morning, pick me up around noon and promptly make me a diagonal-cut PB&J once we got home. I would eat my sandwich hovering over a towel “place mat” on the floor in front of the television, eyes glued on “Woody the Woodpecker,” slurping down milk between oversized bites. Life was good back then....
Exhibit D: Pumpkin Caramels! These truffles are seriously simple! They require just 6 ingredients, are naturally sweetened, and are both vegan and gluten free. They get a serious punch of pumpkin flavor from both pumpkin butter (or puree), and pumpkin pie spice, and the result is a decadent-but-healthy caramel rolled in roasted pumpkin seeds and sea salt. Serious yum. If you’ve never tried date caramel, you must! Get your hands on some dates, whirl them in your food processor, add a little coconut oil (or water) until you get the creamiest, dreamiest paste that tastes seriously identical to caramel....
Since then I’ve been consuming them and dreaming up recipes featuring this dreamy graham-choco-mallow combination. I mean, who doesn’t love a s’more, besides John? But he doesn’t count because he also doesn’t like brownies. I KNOW. Who did I marry? WHO?! These pancakes are WOW, just WOW. I’ll get to the recipe in a minute but will first fully admit that I swiped the top pancake off the stack and consumed it in about 3 bites flat after I was done taking photos....
Recipe Inspiration These vegan sushi bowls are inspired by the flavors of sushi, but with a plant-based spin made into bowl form. Sushi is a common dish in Japan and in Japanese restaurants around the world. And it’s thought that it might date back to the 2nd century BC, where it originated from a Chinese dish called narezushi. It’s believed to have then spread to Japan in the 8th century. And by the 18th century, sushi restaurants were wildly popular in Japan....
The good news? This soup satisfies both requirements. It has all the taste of the hearty, comforting dishes you love plus all of the nutritional and health benefits and whole foods ingredients your body craves. Plus, it’s easy, vegan, and gluten-free – a win-win for all parties involved. Originally I set out to make a tortilla soup mixed with a vegan chili. The name didn’t hit me until I was taking my first bites and thought, “Wow, this tastes exactly like nachos!...
There are many different kind of paratha recipes. Many verities like tawa, ajwain or jeera paratha etc are usually served with curry (gravy dishes) or dal as a meal. While other stuffed version are served as a breakfast with yogurt, pickle or raita. Many times I do serve them as a light dinner or brunch. Other simple, not stuffed verities can be served with tea or coffee as a breakfast....
A few years ago, my blog was lucky to be a finalist for the Saveur Blog Awards in the Most Inspired Dinner Recipes category. Until then, it hadn’t occurred to me that the majority of the recipes on my blog are in fact dinner recipes. I realized this is a reflection of my preferences as a Pakistani-American. In many areas I’m more American than Pakistani, but when it comes to dinner, I find South Asian main dishes to be the most satisfying meals in the world....
The base of this 4-ingredient, 30-minute, 1-bowl recipe is dates, which create the fudgy texture, naturally sweeten the brownies, and bind the batter as well. Next comes nut butter. It’s less important which nut butter you use and more important how fresh and creamy it is. When you use peanut butter made with just peanuts and salt, you get a luxurious, creamy texture and it literally pours out of the jar....
We were turned onto these Coconut Wraps* by Sarah’s Day. After ordering them and trying them for ourselves, we were hooked! They’re made with 4 simple ingredients and quite versatile. Enjoy them cooked or raw (we prefer raw), savory or sweet (we prefer savory). While the wraps themselves are delicious, the fillings are where it’s at. We went with hummus and our beloved Green Curry paste for sauce and plenty of fresh vegetables....

Then we add vanilla extract and apple butter to round out the wet ingredients. If you haven’t already had the privilege of apple butter blessing your palette, allow us to introduce you to the ultimate fall spread!...
However, that didn’t work out so well. Turns out, no matter how much melted dark chocolate I pour over avocados, it still kinda tastes like chocolate avocado. Back to the drawing board. New idea: Banana Split Chocolate Smoothie! Good news: Smashing success. So delicious, in fact, that it was destined for the blog (I mean, look at that glam shot). Hubba. This smoothie is such a simple concept but delivers big on flavor and decadence....
