Happy Friday guys! It’s the happiest day of the week and what makes it even more exciting? Some chocolate of course! I am not picky when it comes to chocolate, I can each chocolate in each and every form. Dark, milk, white I love it all. I love it as it is and even it’s inside cookies, cakes or even granola. I guess you guys get my obsession with chocolate. Anyway, so what kind of granola do you guys like? Are you one of those who tries hard to find the big clusters from the granola box? If yes, then this recipe is for you – big cluster chocolate...

Aloo Matar Tehri – Spicy Potato Peas Pilaf

February 26, 2015

This dish brings back so many memories. Aloo matar tehri is a kind of vegetable pilaf especially popular in the state of Uttar Pradesh (UP) in India. Even though I grew up in and around Delhi, my origins are from UP and so this was something mom would often make for dinner when she was not in the mood to make dal and roti. I was not the biggest tehri fan around but that has to do with the fact that I’m not a big fan of rice in general but even then I enjoyed this dish whenever mom made it. It’s funny how you start missing these...

Chickpea Spinach Corn Quesadillas

February 25, 2015

So I have been posting all the dips and sauces for the last few days because I wanted to share this – chickpea spinach corn quesadillas with cilantro mint chutney and creamy cucumber dip!

Cilantro Mint Chutney

February 21, 2015

Happy Weekend guys! Mine is not off to a good start because I injured my knee while running. I don’t think anything annoys me more than not being able to run around as I would normally do.

The worst part is that I had so much trouble walking around the house today, seriously disturbs my whole schedule.

Anyway let’s talk about food now because if food makes everything better. I...

Chocolate Dipped Fortune Cookies

February 19, 2015

On every special occasion like hubby’s birthday, our wedding anniversary or Valentine’s Day I spend a considerable amount of time thinking what to buy for him but ultimately I end up giving him a simple sweater or a shirt with a card. You know why it’s so difficult because he is not fond of anything! I mean nothing! He isn’t fond of clothes, shoes, watches, perfumes, electronics, games etc etc. Whatever you can think of he isn’t a fan and that’s what makes it so so difficult. It’s so easy to give me a gift, just...
