How can you not smile sinking your teeth into one of these? The happiest cupcake in the world! Today’s homemade lemon cupcakes are incredibly soft and bursting with lemon, just like my lemon cake. Not too much lemon that you’ll squint your eyes and pucker up your lips, but just enough to give each bite a refreshing zest of citrus flavor. I top them with my favorite vanilla frosting. Sweet vanilla and zesty lemon complement each other wonderfully, though cream cheese frosting would also be delicious!...

When you’re new to a keto or low carb diet, some of the foods you have to avoid or limit are obvious, and others are a bit more tricky. You know to avoid most starchy food like bread, pasta, beans and potatoes, but one thing most new low-carbers and those trying to live a lifestyle don’t often consider is the carb content of other foods such as fruits and vegetables....

Mushroom fry is one of those easy to make stir fry dishes that makes for a delicious side with chapati or rotis. Mushrooms hold a special place in my kitchen and its a shame that I have not blogged any mushroom recipes except for the restaurant style mushroom pepper fry which is my son’s favorite. I usually make mushroom dishes for our evening meal and I do not shoot images after 4 pm hence you will not find them on my food blog....

Have you ever tried making upma with oats? Upma, a very common and quick South Indian breakfast dish, is not very popular unlike its counterpart, the famous Masala Dosa. People either love or hate Upma. I know of many kids and adults alike who hate to hear the phrase ‘upma for breakfast’. I don’t belong to that category, though. I like to eat upma occasionally. I have prepared numerous recipes with oats in it, especially upma varieties – plain sooji upma, rice ravva upma or wheat rava upma....

One of my favorites is Hashweh, a Lebanese rendition of meat and rice. Traditionally this dish calls for ground lamb or lamb chunks. But it’s difficult to find lamb where I live, so I improvise with ground beef. If you can find ground lamb though, I’d definitely urge you to try that. Whether you’re talking about making chicken biryani, Hainanese chicken rice, Lamb Dum Biryani, or Hashweh, every culture has some combination of ground meat and rice dishes....

Tell Me About This Pineapple Carrot Cake Flavor: This cake has all the spiced flavors you’d expect from a classic carrot cake, but with a flavorful addition: crushed pineapple. This simple addition brightens up the cake’s flavor and reminds us of another reader favorite: hummingbird cake. While wonderful on its own, the sweet and tangy cream cheese frosting pairs beautifully with the cake’s warm spice flavor. Texture: This is a moist cake finished with a dense and silky blanket of cream cheese frosting....

Even though these Mexican-style pulled pork carnitas are made in the slow-cooker AND fried, I still feel like this is more of a summer recipe.I think it’s the simplicity and the fresh, easy toppings that we use when we’re stuffing that addictive carnitas meat into soft, warm tacos. Of course you don’t need to stuff the meat into tacos, there are lots of ways to use it. On top of nachos, served with guacamole, salsa and shredded cheese On top of pizza, salads and rice bowls Stuffed into burritos and quesadillas Added to fried rice Stuffed into potato skins and topped with crumbled cheese – Cojita if you can find it, in the UK, if not crumbled Wensleydale works well....

The humble potato holds an important place in my pantry. I usually never run out of potatoes in my kitchen and I ensure that I have at least a kilo of this root vegetable at any given time. Right from preparing a basic simple potato fry, aloo korma, curry, aloo paratha, french fries and more, potatoes are an integral part of my cooking. There are hundreds of variations to the basic potato fry and I am presenting to you a favorite potato fry recipe that I usually make to serve along side mudda pappu aka cooked tur dal, avakai, andhra vegetable stewpappu pulusu or rasam....

Pressure Cooker Indian Custard I’ve seen similar recipes floating around called everything from bhappa doi to kharwas, but this Pressure Cooker Indian Custard doesn’t taste like either of those things to me. It’s just a great creamy, slightly grainy sweet dessert that I flavored with lots of cardamom. Given that, and given that’s it’s so easy to make, I’m sharing the recipe anyway. It will make an easy, delicious treat for dessert....

This recipe for Pressure Cooker Indian Zucchini Kheer recipe is a bit of a fusion recipe, because we don’t actually have Zucchini in India. We do have a kheer we make using something called a bottle gourd, which I’ve never seen in the U.S. But I had a bunch of zucchini sitting in the fridge staring at me balefully and I decided it was time to create a kheer recipe....

This Masalé Bhat is without a doubt, one of my favorite ways to eat rice. I waver between this recipe and the Chicken Biryani recipe but they’re two entirely different things (which means, more reason to eat two variations!) To make this rice, you will first need to make the Maharashtrian Goda Masala recipe here. Trust me, this Masalé Bhat is worth the small effort it takes. The rice itself is simplicity itself, especially if you double up on the Goda Masala and have some left over....

Limits. They should be called restrictors. I realize, I place too many of these little fences around my thoughts. Self-imposed, they are and stifling they can be. But, to grow, these limits need to be pushed away. At first, even pushing the walls down seem hard and daunting. The anticipation of emotions of fear and nervousness about the unknown. Should success be the end goal of every endeavor? I don’t know and I don’t think I will ever have an answer to that but the thought of having attempted brings me comfort....

These melt in mouth treats are the perfect type of sweets for Diwali or other festivals, or simply when you crave them! Today’s Rava Laddo recipe is a very basic and simple Maharashtrian style recipe requiring very few ingredients and no advance preparation as such. Mom made Rava laddu every year for Diwali along with other faral (snacks). Between Rava and besan ladoo, I am a little biased towards these as I like their texture (crunch) more....
