Serve aloo bharta with a bowl of rice or khichdi, stuff it inside flatbreads like paratha to make a wrap. What is Aloo Bharta? In Hindi, Aloo = Potatoes and Bharta refers to anything mash(ed). Baigan Bharta is a popular north indian recipe made with mashed eggplant. Quite simply, aloo bharta is an indian style mashed potato recipe.

Flaky, golden and delicious Aloo Paneer Laccha Paratha is a stuffed layered Indian flat bread that is filled with a flavorful filling made from boiled potatoes and grated paneer/cottage cheese. Most paratha recipes fall into one of the two categoeis – stuffed with vegetable/meat based fillings and plain but layered. This recipe of stuffed laccha paratha combines the best of both the types – it is both stuffed as well as layered....

A littler shorter than usual post today. I am in LA, and well, trying to keep up with my younger brother Kai, his friend and my cousin Abby is almost beyond my reach. FYI, the whole LA cloudy skies and 60 degree weather thing is SO not cool. Come on, I have been dreaming about the warm sun and 80 degree temps that southern Cali is known for? I am telling you, I bring the clouds and cold temps with me....

Because it’s fall, and comfort food is a must. So I’ve spent the last three days working on some new videos for you guys, and in preparation for these videos I had to look back through some older content on the blog. And when I say old, I mean old! A couple of week ago I stumbled on this recipe from way back in the day. It honestly pains me to look at those photos, BUT when I remembered back to the recipe, I couldn’t help but think, “man, I really need to bring this recipe back to life somehow because it’s like, SO GOOD”....

Ahh…What time of year? The time of year when things are hectic, crazy, unorganized and messy all at the same time? The time of year when you realize it is already January eighteenth and February will be here in less than two weeks now? No, actually not that time of year. Well yes, but that is not what I am talking about. It is Superbowl time, which in my mind really just means good food....

It’s my last full day in Florida and that means it’s my last day of REAL warmth for a while. To say I am bummed would be an understatement. I have been soaking up every last-minute of the sunshine, it just feels SO good. Colorado gets a ton of sun, but it’s just completely different from the Florida sun. If you live where I live then you probably understand what I am talking about....

Ok, I feel like the Grinch saying “it’s practically here”, but really S’more season WILL officially be here this weekend (hello Memorial Day!!). Yes, I have probably seen the Grinch one too many times for sure, (but I still love it) but I couldn’t resist because Memorial Day is practically here. Anyway, I am pretty excited about some cool ideas I have for new twists on the classic S’morse, but today I am actually sharing an idea from my brother Brendan who is living in Salt Lake City and spending the spring and early summer working at a pizza shop… Not sure why he’s working at a pizza shop making pies, but apparently he’s pretty good at it and he gave me the idea for this S’more creation, so cool!...

You can never go wrong with peppermint and chocolate! These candy cane hearts actually taste as good as they look. Sometimes you need an easy holiday treat that doesn’t use 15 ingredients and take 4 hours to make. These fun little candy cane hearts are always enthusiastically welcomed at any gathering, and they’ll only take you about 15 minutes to make. I love to package these guys up in little cellophane bags and hand them out to family and friends, they also make great holiday party favors and are perfect for classroom parties....

Hey, there’s strawberries in it. In my book that means it’s a well-balanced snack. Making it perfect for the 3:30pm munchies. At least to me anyway. Basically, this ice cream is my mood stuffed into a sweet little waffle cone, dipped in chocolate and piled high with strawberry ice cream. Typically I go for the chocolate, and I will still probably choose an indulgent chocolate cone over a fruity one, but today I am just feeling like I need to branch out a little and step away from the chocolate (at least for an hour)....

I served these skillet fried lentil patties with a simple paneer & kale pulao, spinach raita (yogurt) & micro greens to make a colorful indian super food bowl. In Hindi, Tikki = patties. Chana dal is a variety of split chickpea and is considered a good source of protein in south asian kitchens. Lentils and beans are used hundreds of ways in indian kitchens and these rajma kebabs and vegan lentil patties just go on to showcase how versatile they are....

I am posting one of my favorite sweet recipes for Diwali – Chandraka & Suryakala. The first time I tried this sweet recipe was almost 7 years ago. Having been intrigued by the shape, design and taste – the sister and I decided to try it out for one diwali. It was huge success. It turned out crispy, sweet and the filling inside just melted in our mouths. Ever since, I prepare this sweet for every Diwali and this time I decided to put it up in my blog....

When summer life gives you a lot of zucchini you make some cheesy rice…with crispy cheddar on top. And you make it casserole-style because it’s August and back to school season is on my brain. First things first no matter what’s going on in life, or how old I am, August and September with be back to school “season” for me. I know things are looking different this year in regards to heading back to school, but we can still enjoy “back to school recipes”....

One of my favorite long weekends of the year is here and I could not think of a better recipe to celebrate with than these ice cream sandwiches. Assuming your weather is warm and sunny, you absolutely have to make these for the long weekend ahead. They are a must. And if your weather isn’t the nicest, I still recommend making these, because let’s be real, ice cream sandwiches are always a good idea....

It is so good. I mean, I really did not expect it to turn out this good and be this pretty. I thought it would be good, as I started to make the pie my idea just grew. And grew. Until I ended up with this pie. The reason I made this pie was because of coconut cream. The other week I had made a dessert that I am so excited to share it is not even funny…....

Looking back at all the years of recipes, there is so much variety, flavor, and color. When I started HBH just after turning 19, I had no idea what I was doing, or really how to cook for that matter. I truly was learning by doing and having a lot of fun experimenting with new flavors. When I look back at the first year of recipes, I cringe at the photos, but you know what’s kind of funny?...

But then I look at these photos and think, but it’s December, December is all about indulgences, and that makes everything ok again. I am a firm believer that December has no limits when it comes to food. No limits. The more overtop the better. The sweeter the better. The chocolatier…the better. I know there have been a lot of sweet treats and holiday inspired eats around here lately, but I can’t help it....

I cannot resist the appetizers at my local Chinese restaurant. I always order sweet and sour pork, vegetable lo mein, homemade egg rolls, chicken lettuce wraps and these delicious crab rangoon. My homemade version of rangoon is just as good, if not better than, the restaurant recipe. Crab Rangoon Ingredients To make crab rangoon you will need crab, cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, green onions, wonton wrappers, egg and oil....

It’s not often that I hold on to recipes this long before sharing them. But with over a month of travel coming up, I’m working to create some recipes in advance. I made this a couple of weeks ago and have been patiently waiting to share. It’s become a family favorite. This is such a yummy pasta salad—it’s unique in the best way possible. I created this with the idea of spring entertaining in mind, but honestly, I’ve made this for dinner on multiple occasions now....

Peanuts and chocolate are a classic combination that never goes out of style. This easy candy can be made in the crock pot with just 5 minutes of prep time. It’s great for holiday parties or to give as gifts along with other treats such as buckeye balls and peppermint bark. Crock Pot Candy Ingredients This crock pot candy recipe only has 4 ingredients – roasted peanuts, semisweet chocolate chips, white almond bark and holiday sprinkles....
