Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken are two quintessential Indian ‘curry’ dishes that you will always find in all Indian restaurants. Are these authentic Indian dishes? Not necessarily so. Are they really popular? Like heck they are! Among the non-Indian populace that is! I personally would never order either of these dishes even in […]
Tandoori Chicken is such a quintessential Indian dish that ALL Indian restaurants have that on their menu without fail! It also never fails to impress! The tenderness of the meat combined with the flavors of ginger, garlic, lime and of course the smoky flavor that comes from the ‘tandoor’ or the clay oven. Sounds […]
Yes it is that time of the year again! The festival season! Being a transplant from India settled in the US, the holiday season for us starts from September itself!

Organ meat are one of the most nutrient dense foods and can be a great addition to your diet. They’re packed with nutrients, such as vitamin B12 and folate, and they’re also an […]
Many folks get intimidated with the thought of elimination diets. They think it would be too restrictive and boring. They worry that they might never get to enjoy a meal again.

Batata Vada or Spicy Potato fritters is the type of food that teases your taste buds! Mashed potatoes are mixed with green chillies, cilantro and some spices and then dipped in batter and deep fried! How can anyone say no to that right? And especially when you grew up in a region where these fritters […]
I have probably stated this before and I have no shame in saying it again. Biryani is my weakness. Especially Chicken Biryani. There is something about how the different components of this dish come together that makes this so, so attractive to me. It is just a harmonious confluence of flavors and textures. The perfectly […]
