A lot of people make this during religious fastings like Navratri and Ekadashi. It also makes a great summer dessert & can be served chilled. During the winters, it is best served warm. I make this bottle gourd halwa sometimes when we are too bored eating the same dishes. ‘Lauki’ is the Hindi name for the vegetable ‘opo squash’ also known as ‘calabash squash’ or ‘bottle gourd’. Also known as ghiya or dudhi in India, it is one of those veggies that’s used often in Indian homes to make curry, sabji, stew, paratha & even halwa....

This Lemon Poke Cake and I have spent sweet quality time together over the years. Since I was tall enough to hover over the counter, I have the fondest memories of standing in my grandma’s kitchen, using a butter knife to cut sliver after sliver of this lemon burst poke cake right out of the pan. I’d pop each directly into my mouth and go back for another, until she’d finally make me sit down with a proper slice (which she would insist on pairing with Ovaltine, because nutrients!...

Whilst our Northern Hemisphere friends are freezing through the silly season, Australia is sweltering. So naturally we want every ice cold drink there is. And bulk ice-cream and icypoles. And we preferably like to enjoy these in the comfort of a pool and / or air conditioning. Summer - it gets us every time! We also seem to be incapable of talking about anything else but how damn hot it is!...

If the ingredient combo in this mushroom taco filling sounds odd, that is because the first time I made them, I was in the process of trying to use up every possible odd and end in the refrigerator to clear space for a giant grocery trip I was preparing to make the next day. The refrigerator in our new house is smaller than a standard size, so it happens frequently....

There’s a reason why these cookies are such a hit. I mean, just look at them – what a thing of beauty, amirite? These babies are tall and thick with wonderfully crisp edges and super chewy and buttery centers. They’re jam-packed with chocolate chips and chopped nuts, and there’s even some grated Hershey’s mixed into the dough as well! Oh, and the cookie dough has ground oats in it, too, which makes them extra hearty....

When it comes to making a pappu for meal, I always prefer to make a smooth and creamy dal like sorakaya pappu, mamidikaya pappu or tomato pappu, where all the ingredients can be dumped to cook in the pressure cooker and later tempered. While making spinach or any leafy greens with dal like gongura pappu, I don’t prefer to overcook them which often happens by pressure cooking. So I just add them to the cooked dal to retain the nutrients and taste....

I usually make fresh paneer for any recipes that call for crumbled paneer, so this one too I used fresh homemade paneer that was made using 2 cups full fat milk & 1½ tsp lemon juice. But this recipe works good even with store bought frozen paneer. This tawa paneer sandwich recipe is a kids friendly recipe and can be served even to toddlers. There is no chopping of onions or tomatoes involved except using the raw slices, so that does the trick of saving some time....

It is just the way we make the veg fried rice but with a generous addition of cashews, raisins, pineapple and some added flavors including MSG....

Sesame seeds are widely used in Indian cuisine to make ladoos, chikkis & curries. Sesame rice is one of the varieties you can make when you do not have time to make a elaborate meal. I have used unhulled sesame seeds, you can also use black sesame. Nylon sesame & hulled sesame are low in nutrition so try using unhulled seeds. To make sesame rice, spiced sesame seeds powder is made first....

My sisters live in Kansas City, and whenever Ben and I visit, a stop for barbecue isn’t a suggestion. It’s a direct order. The competition is fierce and hotly debated between top-rated spots. Over the course of a few years, I’ve managed to try a pulled pork sandwich at every single one of them (all in the name of research of course). My absolute favorite is made by a spot that operates out of a gas station (really!...

Making the first chili of the season always feels a bit ceremonious to me. I equate chili with, well, chilly. Until the air rouses me to utter at least a mild “brrrrrr,” I feel it is my duty to summer to postpone the chili-making until I am in need of something hearty to fill my tummy and warm my bones. My ideal chili recipe is low on maintenance, high on flavor, and reasonably healthy....
