Among Indian Sweets that call for Paneer as the main ingredient, my most favorite are Rasgulla and Rasmalai. I do not make traditional sweets on a regular basis at home unless celebrating a festival. I bake cupcakes, cookies and cakes on a regular basis especially during Christmas season for family and friends. This festive season, I decided on making some traditional Indian sweets along with Plum cake and cookies. I made a batch of fresh paneer to prepare Matar Paneer Masala to go with rotis for dinner....

I originally published this recipe in 2019 and have since added new photos and a video tutorial, and I have also made a small change to the peanut butter filling. See recipe Notes for original filling recipe. While there’s no disputing that peanut butter + chocolate is a winning combination, there is a lot of competition vying for the title of Best Chocolate-Peanut Butter Treat. While I love peanut butter blossoms and these no-bake chocolate peanut butter bars—oh, and this decadent dark chocolate peanut butter cake is a favorite special-occasion indulgence—I think the prize for Best All-Around goes to these simple peanut butter balls....

While sticking with my theme on personal highs this holiday season, I am still on my Persian food kick. This recipe is for a delicious Persian stew or Khoresht that uses spinach and lemons for the base with a bunch of aromatic herbs that add a fresh and fragrant flavor to the chicken and garbanzo beans. You can substitute any type of beans in this recipe, red kidney beans would be delicious too due their meaty texture....

I’m a relatively new smoothie convert. I had a weird combination at a juice bar a few weeks ago – spinach, cucumber, mint, celery and apple. I half expected it to taste like chilled-infusion-of-garden-waste-bin, but it was actually really nice and refreshing! So much so, I ordered myself a new smoothie blender that very evening. I’m a terrible sucker for advertising – through general daily life or via TV. Chris has to grab the remote to save me from myself if I flick across a shopping channel....

These brownies are definitely not like the typical chocolate brownies which are full of chocolaty flavor. For Red Velvet we do have the cocoa powder in there but in less proportion compared to a usual brownie since we want the Red to show. Too much cocoa powder mixed with red doesn’t give a very nice color. These brownies have just the right amount of chocolate flavor smoothly paired with vanilla....

Learn to make garlicky roasted potatoes that complement a wide variety of main dishes – plus my trick to ensure they turn out irresistibly crispy every time! These roasted potatoes from my first cookbook are a workhorse of a side dish: they’re loved by all, easy to make, and go with just about everything. The only fussy part of the recipe is arranging the potatoes cut-side down in the pan....

Satish bought prawns on his way back home after his morning jog. He chanced upon a fisherman who was just back from the sea with a fresh catch of prawns. So prawns stir fry it was for lunch.

I made two varieties of prawn stir fry, one being Indo-Chinese and the other our home style Andhra preparation which I’m featuring today....

I am sharing how to make a non-sticky Maharashtrian-style sabudana khichdi recipe that is delicious, soft, and not chewy, or mushy. It is a very simple recipe that requires just a handful of ingredients but if not made right it turns out sticky, mushy, or goopy. But not anymore! I’m sharing a foolproof recipe with all the tips I’ve learned from Mom and through my experience so you can make the perfect, non-sticky Sabudana Khichdi every single time!...

I think I’ve finally figured out that bite-sized treats aren’t better for you than humongous treats. If there’s a plateful of bite-size treats, I’ll eat them all – totally beating the king-size-snickers- calorie-count that I was trying to avoid. I have no self control. So rather than talking about how making mini-desserts are better for the waistline, I’m gonna come right out and tell you that you’ll probably eat seven or eight of these in a row, have a sugar rush, followed by an energy slump – where you’ll feel guilty that you ate so many – then you’ll vow not to be so greedy in future (and you may need to undo your top button)....

What Makes This Simple Chickpea Salad Awesome? Chickpeas. The main reason I eat chickpeas? Simply because they are delicious. Chickpeas are soft, creamy, substantial, and just great.Simple. I think my mom lied to me about this Indian Chickpea Salad. She said this was junk food so I would eat it, but now that I’m older I’m not sure how it’s junk food? It’s chickpeas and vegetables. But I’m glad she did because I love this salad....

Pumpkin cookies! The two most beautiful words in the baking language. Well, besides apple pie and chocolate cake. Diving into the fall baking season feels great and these pumpkin cookies are the best place to start. I’ve been perfecting cookie recipes for years and these, along with my pumpkin snickerdoodles, are some of my best. If you crave chocolate, my chewy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies use the same delicious cookie dough as the snickerdoodles....

I’m sitting here in my woolly socks and comfy workout clothes (although I have no intention of working out today) with a large cup of tea and the underfloor heating on. We had a massive rain shower earlier and Lewis came back from football absolutely drenched and a bit shivery, so I made us an early lunch of homemade soda bread and lentil & cheddar soup……. I LOVE AUTUMN! There’s something about the changing of the seasons that always creates a little buzz of excitement in my belly....
