Apple Cranberry Crumble

Now a days, it is hard to keep up with science. Especially, when it comes to making healthy choices, regarding sugar consumption.   We are all bombarded with statements like “Sugar is toxic”, “Sugar is the new drug”, “Quit eating Sugar” every single day. Though I admit, I did believe the dogma that these statements…

Cajun Spiced Chicken

I have  had a LOVE-HATE relationship with “Spicy” food. I LOVE the fact that it adds more flavor to the dish and makes it palatable. In addition, it also has anti-inflammatory properties, which is a great side- effect! However, if you have chopped peppers or in my case mixed the Cajun spiced marinade with your…

Chocolate Bread Butter Pudding

There was a time when Friday evenings were meant to be spent doing NOTHING! When I think about long weekends, I immediately get visions about having fun in the sun, margaritas and burgers. Weekends used to be catching up with friends, plan a weekend trip somewhere or just chill at a cafe. When did we…

Homemade Chilli Chicken or Paneer

For the most part “positivity” and “news” are not seen together. Too much negativity early in the morning makes one feeling hopeless and helpless. It feels as if our efforts of making world a better place do not matter! Hence, it was refreshing to read about the story of an honest journalist who made sure…

Almond Meal Choc Chip Cookies

One of the simplest joys in life is to eat a cookie without worrying about consuming sugar. Remember those soft, bendy choc chip cookies you kept drooling at a cake or bakery shop. Yes those! What if I told you there is a simple way of making a gluten-free version of the same cookie without…

Spicy Schezwan Anyone?

A heavy shower of rains makes me crave for Chinese food! Also, after a week of being Mrs. Sickly, I was craving for a Chinese dish with bold flavors. Hint Schezwan sauce!   Ask me why?   The reason, it requires only mixing the readymade Schezwan sauces with minimum efforts!   Making anything Schezwan is not at all…

Pasta Arrabiata

Sometimes, when looking for inspiration for my blog I end up buying more than I intend to and convince myself that I will save one grocery store trip.  Does that ever happen with you? But this time I would like to thank this habit of mine as I was craving for a pasta and guess…

Simple Bread Butter Pudding

It is “Raksha Bandhan” which reminds us August is about to end and a series of festivities in the Indian Calendar are about to begin. We are going to celebrate it with the entire family and there are going to be lots and lots of sweets. Since, I have started blogging my family has made…

Let’s make some Dabelis!

Nothing makes me happier than a giant plate of home-made “chaat”, especially “Dabeli”. Of course, I do love bhel, pani-puri, shev puri and the like but dabeli is something that is filling and I get the feeling of eating a whole meal as opposed to left feeling half full half hungry. Though “Dabeli” is originally…

Tri-Coloured Idlis

Yesterday marked 69 years of Independent India and the nation was filled with celebrations and revived sense of patriotism. It’s one of those days where tri-colored food is a hit among the people and I felt like making my contribution on this important day. Here is my simple “Tri-colored Idli” dish. Prep Time: 15 minutes…
