Palak Paneer Before we begin, let’s get to know paneer a little better. What Is Paneer? One of the issues that often come up in food writing, especially for some of us writers who work with non-European ingredients, is that we need to describe them using a more familiar counterpart even if there isn’t one. Take paneer, for example; it’s often called “Indian cottage cheese” or “Indian cheese”. While paneer is a form of cheese, that description is misleading....

These vanilla almond snack bars are simple and wholesome with a sweet taste that won’t give you a sugar crash. They’re an easy fruit and nut bar, similar to a KIND bar. They’re grain free, gluten free, have no refined sugar, and are packed with whole, natural ingredients like almonds, dates, and seeds. Usually I add a little oats to energy/granola bars but I wanted to keep the main ingredients purely nuts and dried fruit....

This recipe was commissioned by the Vegetarian Society as part of #nationalvegetarianweek I often talk about my struggles to get my meat-loving husband to eat more veggie-based meals. I celebrate for days if I manage to make a meal where he doesn’t even question the lack of meat. This pizza was one of those occasions! Now between you and I, it’s unlikely that as a family, we’d manage to go fully vegetarian....

I’m running on fragments of sleep. My baby girl is almost 3 months old, I talk and sing in a high pitched baby voice/dog voice all day long, and can’t find one of my left shoes. Is this what it’s like to be a mom? Let me walk you through one of my recent mornings. Put baby down for a nap. I had plans to bake beautifully red and white swirly peppermint cupcakes....

After one bite of my first successful batch of zucchini biscuits, I knew I struck recipe gold.

The Basics on Curry Leaves This week it’s all about curry leaves. Curry leaves from the curry tree/plant (Murraya koenigii) have nothing to do with curry ( a curry can exist without curry leaves) or the other curry plant. In Indian cooking, especially in the coastal Southern parts of India, curry leaves are a popular herb prized for their unique fragrance. The leaves are fried until they turn crisp and translucent in hot oil, and the oil is then used to flavor dishes....

These banana scones were a complete spur-of-the-moment recipe. When I have a bounty of extra ripe bananas, I usually bake a couple loaves of banana bread or my favorite banana muffins. My mom was visiting, so I decided to try something new and special. We both love scones and banana bread, so I decided to combine the two. We ended up LOVING them, especially the walnuts in each bite. I tweaked the recipe a few times after that and I’m confident these are the best banana scones....

Growing up, I was that kid who loved beetroots. More than the taste, it was the beautiful color that always lured me into eating them. I would eat them raw, boiled or in raitas. I was introduced to beetroot poriyal by my friend Janani, and I was absolutely hooked. And then, my MIL got me hooked to this rice. Her recipe is simple, but I started experimenting with more flavors to lure my hubby into eating beetroot rice and enjoying it as much as I do!...
