I take my shredded hash browns very seriously. Preferably made from scratch and not from shredded potatoes out of a bag from the freezer aisle. Extremely crispy on the outside, pillowy soft in the center. Golden brown and always with ketchup on the side. You might say I’m a hash brown snob. And you’re completely right. I’ve learned a few tricks over my shredded hash brown perfecting years, and if you want the CRISP of the crispiest hash browns ever with today’s breakfast skillet recipe, listen up: 2 Ways to the Crispiest Homemade Shredded Hash Browns (1) First, rid your shredded potatoes of as much moisture as possible....

I am sharing how to make a Punjabi-style dal fry recipe using the Instant Pot, pressure cooker, and in a regular pot on the stovetop. Dal fry is my go-to recipe when we crave comfort food.

It’s not only convenient but also a healthy, nutritious, and soul-satisfying meal that the entire family enjoys!...

I have numerous dal recipes on my blog and wonder why it took me so long to post the recipe of Dal Tadka which happens to be a favorite of mine. Dal Tadka aka Tadka Dal or Dal Tarka is a healthy, hearty, beautifully textured, smoky flavored Indian dal dish that is revered by many a Dhaba food connoisseur. The aroma that emanates the home while preparing the tadka for the dal dish is something one needs to experience as I cannot explain in words the sizzle and mingle of Indian spices in hot oil or desi ghee....

Most foods are improved with a simple dip in chocolate. Pretzels, strawberries, and even biscotti cookies. And buttercream is another we’ll add to the list! Yes, this is a buttercream-like filling covered in chocolate. Do your teeth hurt at the thought of all this sugar? If it makes you feel any better, we’re good friends with our dentist and she loved these. Ha!! But that’s what candy is all about....

My mom likes port wine, I think it is the only alcohol besides beer that I have ever seen her drink in my lifetime. So did my grandma but I think I might have seen my grandma drink whisky (not completely sure) though I know she loved chocolates stuffed with liqueurs. So I figured if I were to create a Mother’s Day drink, I should make a cocktail with wine for her (even though she won’t able to drink this over the weekend, I will drink one for her) that’s lightly sweet....

Almond butter. It’s a toasty, almond-y spread that’s a bit more grainy than peanut butter. Besides on a spoon straight out of the jar, I love it in quinoa snack bars, breakfast cookies, banana chocolate chip breakfast cookies, coconut granola bars, and in today’s flourless chocolate chip cookie recipe. We’re ditching the butter and flour for these easy gluten-free cookies! While flourless cookies are certainly nothing new, I love these cookies so much that they deserve a place in my collection of beloved healthy dessert recipes and gluten free dessert recipes....

Socca or farinata is one of the tastiest unleavened breads you can make at home! And more importantly, it’s also simple to prepare. Typically, you’d make this with chickpea flour but I’ve made this version using green pea flour from Bob’s Red Mill. The flour is a light shade of green but as soon as you add water to it, it turns into a bright green colored batter. A couple of weeks ago, I asked M to pick up some harissa at our local Indian market which carries a lot of Middle Eastern and African ingredients too....

After publishing no bake cheesecake jars, I figured a completely separate post for the strawberry topping sauce would be appreciated! I actually made a triple batch of it last week when strawberries were on mega sale and froze the sauce in freezer tupperwares. (Freezes and thaws like a dream!) But this strawberry dessert topping has actually been an essential for years, pairing with everything like pound cake, cheesecake, ice cream, and berries & cream french toast casserole....

This restaurant special, decadent looking vegetarian dish is sometimes a part of an Indian buffet menu in restaurants....
