I’m all about grilling these days, and every weekend I cook up a batch of grilled vegetables and grilled chicken, like grilled chicken tenders, grilled chicken wings or these grilled chicken thighs. Grilled Chicken Thighs Ingredients To make these grilled chicken thighs make sure you have boneless skinless chicken thighs, olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime zest, cilantro, lime juice, salt, black pepper and garlic. You will want some cilantro leaves and lime wedges to garnish the dish....

I know it is only May 15th, but yesterday it felt like Summer! Alright, that is a major exaggeration. The temps only reached the low 60’s, but for around here that is extremely warm! Granted if the sun is shinning it can definitely feel like the 70’s at times, but summer in the mountains is nothing likes summers in Ohio. Where it is hot, humid and the lake is your best friend!...

We all crave for quick, delicious and guilt-free starters/appetizers isnt it? I do. We hardly ever eat out and when we do, we seldom order starters as they come dripping with oil. I am one of those persons who hates greasy food and that’s why I try to make stuff at home that is guilt-free aka oil-free. This Hariyali Paneer Tikka is my recent addiction. I usually make Tawa Paneer Tikka for a quick snack during the weekends or even make it in the oven, grilling it to perfection and at times, turn it into a Paneer Tikka Masala....

It’s safe to say that January is the month of soup. For a lot of us, the weather is cold and blistery, which means soup…multiple times a week. It’s not just me, right? You all love soup too? I sure hope so because I have a handful of new soup recipes I’m just waiting to share with you all. And the first one up is this Italian wedding soup. But with a healthier take, which honestly was already pretty healthy from the start....

I don’t know if it’s a bad thing, but I am in comfort food mode and this herby buttered wild mushroom tagliatelle pasta is about as comforting as it gets. Although, who am I trying to kid? Aren’t I always in comfort food mode? Even my salads are about as comforting as a salad could be. Sorry not sorry. With fall creeping in I’m feeling like the comforting recipes are probably a good thing....

What they hold and what they symbolize (warm and cozy) just say “Merry Christmas”…and that you actually spent some time (but not hours!) and put thought into the gift. I just feel like everyone can really get excited about a good, creamy, chocolatey cup of hot chocolate. Especially if it is snowing and freezing cold out. I know you are probably thinking making homemade marshmallows must be hard, but honestly it took me fifteen minutes of prep time and twelve of those minutes the mixer did all the work....

I can’t help it though, coconut goes so awesomely with so many things, and I just love the flavor. Plus, it’s so tropical and fun, and you know I am especially into anything tropical and fun right now. I know you may think that making coconut milk from scratch is hard, but it’s really not too bad. Once you get the hang of cracking the coconuts things move along pretty quickly, and unlike a lot of nut milks there is no need for overnight soaking with coconut milk....

Idli, a steamed cake can be considered the heart and soul of any South Indian. Idli is one of the most popular breakfast item, not just in South India but in the rest of the country too. Did you know that idli is THE safest and healthiest breakfast that is? Idli batter is made of rice and urad dal (dehusked black lentils), which is then fermented overnight and steamed in the morning for breakfast....

Every sip of this homemade mango lemonade will transport you to the tropics! You could use canned mangoes, frozen mango chunks or fresh mangoes. Whats more? You don’t need to make sugar syrup for this recipe. What is Shikanji Shikanji or Nimbu Pani (nimbu = lime, pani =water) is basically indian style homemade lemonade. Shikanji is also known as shikanjvi or masala shikanji. Depending on which part of India you are in, the same drink (with minute variations) is referred to by different names....

I love a good beef stew, but it can take hours and hours for the meat to get tender. With a pressure cooker, you can make a delicious (and tender!) beef stew in a fraction of the time. I serve my beef stew with a side of garlic knots or with a cucumber salad for a complete meal. I am in love with my Instant Pot, it has become such a big time saver in the kitchen!...

Today’s recipe is a speciality from my Mother-in-law’s kitchen. Until I saw her prepare Karunai Kuzhambu Kara Kuzhambu, I never knew it was possible. I mean, I have seen/had Kurma Kuzhambu, Murungai Kuzhambu, Poondu Kuzhambu, Puli Kuzhambu or Mor Kuzhambu, but never thought Kuzhambu could be made from Karunai Kezhangu. It was more like the Puli Kuzhambu but with the added awesomeness of Karunai, making it lipsmackingly good. For the uninitiated, Karunai Kizhangu is Elephant Foot Yam which is very commonly available in South India and is known as Suran in North India....

Every one of us would have some quirky traits. I have my own set. Like how I hate buttermilk but love a tall glass of Lassi. Coming from Telugu family, no meal is complete in our household without the traditional curd rice at the end. My parents had their bit of trouble making me eat my curd rice day in and day out. Amma would specially make curd for me in a special cup – the one that would be just made, sweet....

These tandoori lamb tikka can be served as an appetizer or for the main meal with a side of rice(pulao). This indian lamb recipe is excellent for meal prep.You could make many different kinds of meals with them(read my ideas later in the post). Lamb tikka and tandoori lamb chops are a barbecue favorite among all the lamb dishes in my repertoire. While I enjoy preparing homestyle lamb curry, vibrant rogan josh, and comforting lamb stew from time to time, this dry lamb tikka recipe with boneless lamb leg stands out for its simplicity and minimal ingredient requirements....

This rich and creamy kheer is a perfect dessert for festive occasions as well as for Hindu fasting days. It is very popular falahari kheer in north india for festivals like Janamashtami, MahaShivratri or Navratri. Also known as Makhane ki kheer, this creamy indian pudding is naturally gluten free as well as grain free. This delicious dessert is nutty, creamy and is super easy & quick to make. What Is Makhana Phool Makhana, also called as fox nuts has been a very popular super food in India for centuries....

About The Recipe Phirni or Firni is a thick and creamy pudding traditionally made by slow cooking ground basmati rice and whole milk, sweetened and then flavored with cardamom or saffron or rosewater. The thick pudding is set in shallow earthen pots (called matkas or shikoras), chilled and sprinkled with nuts before serving. It is super delicious and absolutely delightful dessert to dig into. Phirni is very popular in North India especially- it is served in wedding menus as well as during festivals like Diwali ....

Here I am with another delicious recipe of homemade chips or crisps with Tapioca or Maravalli Kizhangu (as called in Tamil). During the peak season, you can spot them all over the market in small push carts and these roots look very fresh. I love steaming them with the skin and then the joy of peeling off the skin, from the hot tapioca – it is pure bliss! Another favorite is making maravalli kizhangu chips, colloquially known as kuchi chips made with tapioca roots....

As a kid, there was something I loved the most amidst all variants of biscuits. Parle Crack-Jack Maska Chaska. Ah yummm. Even the name brings back such amazing memories. I remember when I first tasted those salty, savory slightly sweet masala-fied crackers that were super light and I fell in love with them. And just like that they were off the stores for some reason. I did find them again but somehow I couldn’t enjoy it the same way as I did when I was a kid....

I have been dreaming about this Mexican carnitas bar for months, and I am so excited to tell you about it! I mean, as you can see, this bar is super fun, and relatively simple to throw together since you can use a mix of homemade and store-bought ingredients. Obviously you need to make a batch of these carnitas, but from there on out, the options for the bar are pretty much endless....
