Now that January is over, it is safe to say everyone is getting back to their old 2015 self. Just Kidding! It is great to be able to stick to your new diet resolutions but as far as I am concerned, my ship has sailed long time back. I try to substitute rich ingredients with healthier…

Veggie Pizza Muffins
Cooking and baking are one of my few passions but because of that I always end up making more food than necessary which leads to lot of leftovers. My favorite way to use up left overs is to add cheese to (almost) everything! Whenever I think of cheese & leftover veggies , I think of pizza…
Stir Fry
New year is the perfect time for self-reflection and making a resolution but I know in 2016 I am going to find myself doing the same things I have done every year- Not keeping up with any RESOLUTIONS! So, instead of making an unrealistic list of things, (like vowing to hit the gym regularly) I want to…
Spicy Indian Chicken Curry
You know winter is setting in when you are scared of early morning cold water more than anything. To be honest, inside my body winter always reigns. I am one of those people who are doomed to always feel cold no matter the weather. I even had a name during my college days – “Girl with…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Making Falafel…
Middle Eastern food has always been one of my favorites and what better way to start cooking this cuisine than making a falafel. I remember the first time I tried falafel; it was crispy & crunchy on the outside and as soon as you take a bite you are loaded with these amazing flavors. Needless…
