Keema or minced meat is cooked with onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and aromatic spices to make the most flavorful Keema Matar that the whole family will love. Keema is one of my favorite dishes that is made with mutton. Growing up, this curry made a regular appearance on our Sunday meals. We enjoyed it with roti or paratha. Although this dish is also a popular street food, Keema Pav is served with savory dinner rolls....

Jul 17, 2015, Updated Jan 17, 2024 Theo, my two-year-old, has been in the kitchen with me since he was about ten days old. I mean, at first, his only involvement was sleeping peacefully in his cozy carrier while I cooked, but as soon as he could sit in his clamp-on seat at the island, he had his own tasks. Even if that meant just stacking measuring cups, or playing with a whisk and water....

May 28, 2018 Breakfast tacos are a weekday staple for us. North American mornings of toast with peanut butter and jam, waffles with maple syrup, blueberry muffins, etc. are met with revolt by my Indian husband’s capsaicin-craving tastebuds. He has a sweet tooth, no question, but was raised on strictly savoury meals. (If it doesn’t have chillies, he’s like: did I even eat?) So, to appease his stubbornly specific palate, we have a lot of Indian-style omelettes, breakfast sandwiches, and breakfast tacos....

Jan 08, 2015 We’d go nuts over the “mixed grill” platters – with skewered lamb filet, tender chicken cubes, lime-y prawns and these minced lamb kofta that were my absolute favourite. Every restaurant had its own version, so I took my favourite elements from each of them to create one I love – lots of fresh herbs, warm spices, a bit of heat, a bit sweetness and texture from the currants and almonds....

Jan 01, 2017 We just arrived back in Vancouver. I didn’t mean to take a blog break over the holidays, but I think I needed to just unplug and unwind (I actually just typed un-wined which would have also been pretty accurate). I packed my camera and didn’t even take it out of my suitcase. It was so nice to be at my mom’s in New Brunswick for the holidays....

Spiced buttermilk is a very popular drink in Western India – Gujarati and Rajasthani -households, but also all over India. Chaas is such a refreshing and cooling drink for summer.

Take one look at this egg salad recipe and you’ll immediately know it defies the rules (at least the rules as we know them here in America.) That’s not entirely a bad thing, I promise. Spoiler alert, we completely skip the mayonnaise here. Why this egg salad recipe works Clearly, chickpeas share much of the glory with hard-boiled eggs in this simple, Mediterranean-style egg salad. And cucumbers, green onions, and celery provide great crunch....

When I shared my baba ganoush recipe earlier, a reader reached out via Instagram asking if I had one for melitzanosalata, an equally delicious eggplant dip from Greece. I love it when good folks remind me of tasty things that should absolutely have a spot here on the blog! What is Melitzanosalata? Let’s break it down. Melitzanosalata, pronounced meh-lee-tza-no-sah-LAH-ta, comes from two words: melitzana, which means eggplant, and salata, which means salad....

Oct 25, 2022, Updated Oct 07, 2024 Pressure Cooker Ham This method could arguably be the best way to heat up a ham. I love how incredibly fall-apart moist it turns out. You can pressure cook a toupie, bone-in or spiral ham by simply cutting the bigger options down and nestling in the pieces to fit. Couldn’t be easier! Here’s why you’re going to LOVE cooking ham in the pressure cooker for Easter, Christmas, or any holiday dinner:...

Let me start by saying I have zero qualms when it comes to crust on quiche. One of my favorite recipes on the site is Asparagus Quiche made with whole wheat flour. It’s just that I don’t always want the mess that comes with making the crust and with so many dietary restrictions in the world, making crustless quiche is an easy way to make sure everyone is cared for and I keep my sanity....
