Today I am sharing yet another Chutney recipe, a popular one at our household that goes really well with both Idli and Dosa. Peanut Onion Tomato Chutney is creamy & delicious with just a handful of ingredients. It sure looks and tastes rich, with the addition of roasted peanuts but really is low calorie compared to coconut chutney or plain roasted peanut chutney. The addition of roasted onions & tomatoes along with roasted peanuts gives a good texture and body to the chutney, which otherwise would very plain....

It’s only been over the past few years that I’ve slowly started cooking with more slow-braised meats. For a while, I stayed away from dishes like pot roast because they tend to be hard to photograph and can sometimes be time-consuming. A couple of years ago, however, I discovered that slow-cooked meat recipes can be simple if you want them to be! After some trial and error, I landed on a cooking method that I’ve fallen in love with: slow braising in the oven!...

Back when my family would travel to Florida for spring break to soak up the sun and visit my grandparents, my Nonnie had a dish she called her “first night chicken”. It was the dinner she’d serve out-of-town guests on the first night they arrived. One, because it was delicious, and two, because it was beyond easy. The thing about my Nonnie? She was an awesome cook, but her real secret was that she’d never make anything that was complicated or had too many ingredients....

It’s always a happy day when tacos are on the menu. When my sister, Asher, requested some street-style steak tacos, I had no problem coming up with a recipe! She had a few specific requests, though. Since she’s my only recipe tester around right now, I ran with her requests and made what she’s calling her ideal taco. Steak seems to be Asher’s meat of choice these days. Her requests were: not too spicy but with a nice kick, and make sure to add some kind of vegetable....

So what do you do when life tells you to stay and home and work with what’s in your pantry? You make chicken fingers…breaded in pretzel crumbs…and you serve them with your favorite spicy honey sauce.

I’m back home and already re-creating the dishes we ate in Mexico. Funny enough, we ate some incredible Italian food while in Cabo. I mean, we ate more tacos for sure. But between Flora Farms and a cute little Italian restaurant called, Romeo & Julieta we also ate plenty of pizza, pasta, and gnocchi!! You guys ask all the time where I find inspiration for recipes. There’s no denying that traveling and eating out is always one of the best sources for new ideas....

I grew up eating dad’s paani vaali roti. Few days of the year when he entered the kitchen, he made these special thick doughy rotis- cooked on tawa(griddle) and smeared with lots of ghee. He spread water on side of the roti to make it stick to the griddle and then cooked the other side by flipping the tawa over direct flame. What came out of the kitchen were immensely delicious flatbreads which were soft and chewy as well as super crispy....

Actually, I have been eating chia seeds for years, but this is the very first time I have used them in anything other than yogurt. I always make giant yogurt bowls (again, hyped on the bowl food) with pomegranate arils (or any other berry/fruit depending on the season), almonds and or pistachios and chia seeds. It is super simple, but I eat these yogurt bowls almost every single day. If you know me, than you know I am a nut and greek yogurt loving freak....
