These fried modak will be great for potluck or gatherings for ganesh chaturthi celebrations since these can be made ahead and stored for few days. These are also very easy to reheat in the oven. After making these for years, I got to know the perfect way to make the covering for fried modak. The covering can turn hard if the flour to oil/ghee ratio is not right. So I follow the same proportion which I use for my samosa....

About Ghee Rice Ghee Rice is a popular South Indian rice dish where rice is sautéed and cooked with pure ghee & whole spices.

Stay with your risotto from beginning to end. You want to make sure you cook it with love until it’s al dente....

A sucker for a good deal, I never fail to overbuy on zucchini in the summer when the farmers at our local market are all but giving it away, and my green thumb friends are desperately looking to share their wealth.

When we’re staying inside for dinner, oven and stovetop recipes like Roasted Zucchini, Sauteed Zucchini, or Zucchini Fries fit the bill....

Maybe I’ve been sitting too close to a lit pumpkin spice candle, but I felt the air change this week. Instead of flip-flops and short-sleeved tees, I found myself subconsciously reaching for slippers and scarves. I’m also dumping cinnamon on everything (plus baking Cinnamon Blondies), and debating how to use my first purchased can of precious pumpkin. While Pumpkin Coffee Cake or Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies would be tasty choices, I think these healthy pumpkin bars may just edge them out of contention....

This oven roasted eggplant recipe makes the perfect healthy addition to just about any meal. I kept the seasonings basic on these roasted eggplant slices, so that they can be used in a wide variety of ways. Turn them into eggplant Parmesan with marinara and mozzarella cheese.

Not one of us can carry a tune, and we all know every verse. Ben was introduced to our “tradition” during the first Christmas he spent with my family....
