Usually, we make Rajma masala with the addition of spices and onion, tomato, and garlic. Sometimes we omit onion and garlic, but in this recipe, we are not adding onion or garlic, or tomato. Even we are not any garam masala too. I tasted this finger-licking creamy rajma at my relative Savitha’s place some time back. We all loved it and being a hardcore Rajma fan, I asked her version of the recipe....

These were so, so good. Not only are they delicious, but they’re also made with less than 5 ingredients, making them super simple to make AND grain-free. I’m adding raw cacao powder to the batter and beet juice for color. I try to keep beet juice in my freezer – it makes recipes that call for red food coloring seem like a lot less work. You can make these red velvet waffles even more decadent by adding dairy-free chocolate chips to the batter....

This famous sauce from Argentina is made with parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar and olive oil. It’s quick to make and will take your next steak dinner to a whole new level! Chimichurri Steak I think of Chimichurri as South America’s answer to pesto. Except…..dare I say it…better. It’s just as flavourful, but fresher, not as rich because of the slight tang from vinegar and plenty of garlic. And here’s the secret about Chimichurri Sauce....

Mushrooms were made for stuffing for all sorts of purposes – bite size to pass around at gatherings, and large ones like this for eggs! Baked Eggs in Mushrooms I made these last weekend. Yes, on a Sunday. And yes, it was sunny. And yes, I am usually very uncreative when it comes to recipe names, and writing generally. But I like to think that I can get creative in the kitchen, and so that’s what I focus my energy on, not coming up with catchy names for my recipes!...

Real Arancini Balls are deep fried. They are insanely addictive, with a golden crunchy crumb and creamy cheesy risotto on the inside. I could eat them every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Which is why I am so glad that there are no Italian delis in my area, otherwise I’d be in real trouble. But I need an Arancini fix every now and then. Plus risotto is a regular in my midweek meal rotation and more often than not there will be leftovers, possibly because my subconscious makes me cook up an extra large batch just so I have an excuse to make Arancini Balls....

He keeps all the ingredients and just assembles after we place the order....

Flavour packed everyday Burrito recipe! Having a stash of burritos in the freezer makes me feel smug. Along with homemade Frozen Pizzas, these are one of the all time ultimate freezer meals. Except burritos have the added bonus that you don’t even need to dirty a tray to reheat them, or a plate to eat them. Food you can eat with your hands always rates highly in my world!!! 😂 I call this Beef Burrito recipe an “everyday beef burrito” because beef filling aside, it’s a terrific one for adding in what you have and what you want....

Chilli Con Carne recipe Texans have claimed Chili as their own, even going as far to legally make it the official dish of Texas (!!?). Though apparently, there’s evidence that traces the origins of Chili to Spain. Imagine that! 🙂 Die-hard Texan Chili fanatics will tell you it’s illegal to add beans into Chili. They’ll also tell you there’s no canned tomato in it, it’s made with cubes of beef not mince/ground beef, and that it MUST be made using whole dried chilis, rehydrated then pureed....
