[feast_advanced_jump_to] I love making little simple side dishes to go along curries – be it a simple tomato, onion and coriander salad, a bowl of mini poppadoms, or this 5-minute raita.It makes a curry feel extra special, and more like something you’d get from your local Indian restaurant. This raita is lovely cooling side dish that works great as a dip for poppadoms, or as a way to cool the palate when eating a hot curry....

Using sausages as the protein in this pasta recipe means it’s relatively cost effective, and it’s ready in under 30 minutes which makes it a winner in my books! 👩‍🍳PRO TIP I like rigatoni for this recipe (I love how the sauce soaks into the tubes) but you can use your favourite pasta. Penne, spirali, shells – they all work great. This recipe plus 99 others features in my book, ‘It’s All About Dinner’ is available to buy in most retailers....

Here I am, optimistically posting spring recipes whilst it’s raining outside and my heating is on full in the house! Oh well, I told you on Wednesday I was going to post this recipe, so here it is. This is my go-to recipe for risotto. I usually make it without the proscuitto, and serve it with salmon or chicken, but proscuitto has that lovely spring feel about it don’t you think?...

Sally’s Cookie Addiction is a little over 1 month away. Soon enough we’ll be baking brown butter toffee chocolate chip cookies, giant M&Ms cookies, and piñata cookie surprises together. YUP. A piñata cake in cookie form. Just you wait! There’s one recipe I’m looking forward to in particular. Well, one recipe I’m looking forward to YOU trying out in your own kitchen.

For now, I wanted to share with you some of my recipes from the column that I’ve been cooking up, a little savory and a of course, a little sweet! There’s a prawn and chorizo pulao inspired by Goan chorizo (and what I do since it is practically impossible to find outside India), a look back at San Francisco’s Oyster Loaf with my special take with a bit of semolina, an easy toasted naan and tomato salad and of course, dessert, this roasted summer sweet corn custard tart with cardamom....

Don’t forget to enter the GIVEAWAY to win two of my favorite cookware pieces from Staub. There’s a wonderful cast-iron roasting pan and a grill pan (which makes life easy if you want to grill but don’t own a grill or can’t go outside when the weather is bad). I use these often in my kitchen, and I’ve owned them for several years; they’re sturdy, reliable, and look beautiful. NOTE: In my opinion, the best accompaniment to this dish is the paratha, and the Spinach, Paneer and Za’atar Parathas from the Bonus Recipe Collection work splendidly here....

Paneer kebabs are marinated paneer pieces grilled or barbecued in a traditional tandoor along with onions, tomatoes and capsicums(bell peppers). Away from the monotony, I tried my hand at 3 different marinades, each imparting a different color and taste to the paneer. The subtlety and balance of the flavors, infused in the paneer pieces along with crunchy vegetables makes paneer kebabs, a delicious appetizer/starter. Tri-Colored Paneer Kebabs Recipe Ingredients: Yellow Colored Paneer Kebabs 8-10 paneer pieces (cut into a 2″ squares) 4-5 tbsps hung curds 1 tsp black pepper pwd (you can use a pinch of garam masala pwd also for added flavaor) 1 tsp amchur pwd or lemon juice big pinch turmeric pwd –(give yellow color to the paneer) salt to taste Marinate the paneer pieces in the above marinade for 2 hours in the refrigerator....

A California winter as I’m learning is more like spring, it reminds me of that stage in DC where winter would be resistant to the changes spring tries to push our way. The evenings are chilly but the weather sunny and cool during the day, even the buds on the trees are already flowering. It does take some getting used to because my mind still expects some frost at least in the wee hours of the morning but there’s nothing but dew....

You can whisk up this all-purpose vinaigrette in minutes, and it’s good on almost any salad. This classic vinaigrette is the answer to how to dress almost any salad. It has a silky-smooth texture and punchy flavor, striking just the right balance between acid and fat. The formula is a 2:1 ratio of oil to vinegar, plus the addition of honey and Dijon mustard, which not only add flavor, rounding out the sharpness of the vinegar and adding a bit of tang, respectively, but also stabilize the vinaigrette so it stays emulsified (i....

We kicked off our first night with dinner at the Windsor restaurant in downtown Chicago and ate a meal prepared entirely from ingredients from O organics but the best part was to come the next day when we actually got to step into a kitchen and cook! We started our morning with a breakfast bar that had a bunch of different types of slow cooked oats flavored with maple syrup, chocolate chips and fresh and dried fruit....

Golden brown biscotti with toasty pistachios, tart dried cranberries, a happy dose of cinnamon, and all the white chocolate in the world is sitting on my plate right now as I type this. Alongside my favorite pumpkin coffee because pumpkin coffee is a 365 days/year thing here. My hair is in one of those astronomically high buns, my glasses are smudged, and there’s flour all over my sleeves. MAN it feels good to be home....

I made this cheesecake a couple of weeks ago based on a freelance recipe I did last year. I was craving crispy candied pecans (it’s a good idea to make double the amount needed for this cheesecake, just for snacking purposes!) and this recipe jumped into my head. A few adjustments later – to give it more of a winter feel with some warming spices, and also to convert to gluten free for my mum-in-law, and yessss!...

Thanksgiving is all about a big hearty dinner, but the appetizers are where the fun starts! Think crazy-good candied pecans that you just can’t stop munching on, those classic deviled eggs that everyone reaches for, and a gourmet cheese ball that’s the ultimate party magnet. We’re talking delicious dips, finger foods, and all those delicious nibbles that get everyone mingling before the main event. All of these Thanksgiving appetizers will make everyone grateful they showed up early!...

Are you looking for a super quick, yet flavorful dinner this week? We have it right here for you. This saucy shrimp owes a lot of its flavor to a bold marinade of honey, soy sauce, and garlic, which is music to everyone’s taste buds. For a little extra flavor, we add some minced fresh ginger, but that’s entirely optional. Video Tutorial Tell Me About This Honey Garlic Shrimp Flavor: The marinade is loaded with flavor, but our favorite part of this dish is the beautiful caramelized bits of honey and garlic stuck to the pan and edges of the shrimp....

I originally published this recipe in 2019 and have since added a few new photos and more helpful success tips. I’ve been making this cranberry sauce for years. It’s our family’s favorite recipe and whenever I first taste it on Thanksgiving, I always wonder why I wait for the holiday season to make it?! Honestly, this stuff deserves to be a year-round habit. I’ve never really thought to publish the recipe on my website because it’s not (1) a large side dish, (2) dessert, or (3) baking related....

What Is Amritsari Paneer Bhurji? This recipe is a street food recipe famous from the streets of Amritsar, Punjab. This creamy scrambled paneer recipe is traditionally served with bread or Kulcha, along with onion salad and green chutney. This recipe uses besan to act as the thickening agent, along with adding the smokiness to this recipe. Traditionally, yogurt is added to the recipe, which gives it a tangy edge. I don’t prefer to add it, because adding lime juice in the end makes it delicious too....
