Today I have tried to make a masala version with chickpea flour (besan), rice flour, and fried gram (daliya, roasted chana, hurigadale, putani, putnalu) spices. The best part about this dough is that you can make different types of namkeens, such as sev, chakli, ribbon pakoda, murukku, and jantikalu....

Okay, say it with me, “shack-SHOE-kah”! One more time! I did have trouble pronouncing this word when I first encounter it at a menu back in college. But never did I thought that I would come to fall in love with this and make it as one of my favorite weekend breakfast meals just like this Sweet Plantain and Hash. Even my picky eater son, who’s not a big fan of vegetables and stews, loves to gobble down on this....

There are few tricks to a drool-worthy risotto; we’ll get to that later. This recipe is so wonderful that, even if it doesn’t come out perfect, it will still be absolutely delicious. So what if you overcook the rice a little? It just makes it creamier. So what if the sauce isn’t that creamy? The flavor is still incredible. Throw caution to the wind, and embark on the meal of a lifetime!...

Recipe card Smiley face French fries Smiley face French fries are a crispy, deep-fried snack made using potatoes. This frozen snack from the Mccain brand is one of my childhood favorites.

You can serve it as a snack with a cup of coffee or tea, for birthday or dinner parties with sandwiches, chicken nuggets, etc. If you have leftover mashed potatoes, then try this simple recipe....

I can still remember the day I bought my first smoker. There were a lot of recipes I wanted to try, but I ultimately went with tenderloin. And I don’t have any regrets! The wood flavor penetrated all the way through the meat, and it still does every time I smoke it. It’s a total crowd-pleaser, especially when my cousins come over during family gatherings. My auntie loves pork tenderloin so much that she and I played around with different ways to cook it....

I get a little bit sensitive when it comes to seasoning steaks. Steaks are not cheap cuts. Most of the time, they cost a fortune compared to the other usual meat. With that being side, steaks deserve much more than just salt and pepper to taste. Agree??? It’s like knocking yourself off if you happen to do that! Okay, I’m calming down now. BREATHES Although you can find steak seasonings at the grocery stores, I prefer mine homemade since I can customize it according to my preference....

Fresh strawberries and whipped cream, with a crunch of delicate crushed biscuit… is there anything that shouts summer dessert than this Strawberry Cheesecake? It’s simple in its design, easy in its making but what I love is how unbelievably impressive and delicious it is for maximum pudding impact, whatever the occasion. Whip this up for summer parties and BBQs, or any occasion that requires a dessert with bells (or strawberries) on!...

Pork chops are totally underrated, in my opinion. Easy to cook, super tasty, and surprisingly affordable compared to other meats, makes them a winner! Those are just a few of the many reasons I always keep a stash of chops in my freezer. 😉 While pork chops are a go-to dinner at my house, this time, I wanted to make them undeniably next-level. It turns out that stuffing them with fresh produce and cheese makes a supremely elegant dinner for guests....

I’ve always made a Valentine’s dinner for my children and I, partly because it’s just a fun thing to celebrate love (any kind of love, not just romantic) and also, I like to teach the children that taking time to make an occasion for someone is a way of showing you care, rather than expensive gifts or the like....

We all know the thought that if it is nutritious, it can’t possibly taste that great....

While the main dish might be the centerpiece of a holiday table, we all know that the sides are what make the meal something special. Because regardless of whether or not people are fond of turkey, nearly everyone loves those must-have classic side dishes like mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, and – of course – dressing (AKA stuffing). But just because a dish is traditional doesn’t mean you can’t put your own spin on things… Especially if you are sticking to a particular diet....

The History Pakistani Bakery style chicken patties may be a confusing title for anyone but South Asians. This is basically a Vol-au-vent with a chicken or beef filling usually made and sold in bakeries across Pakistan. Vol-au-vent is French for “windblown” per wikipedia.org .This makes literal sense as the puff pastry rises and creates a huge hollow case. This is then filled with assorted meats and vegetables. Another popular name commonly used for this puff pastry shell, in the past, was “patty case”....

My son loves throwing random questions for fun. Yesterday he asked me, “Mom! Can you name a couple of fruit that starts with F?” I tried thinking and I can’t think of any. Well, except for Fuji apple. Technically they count as apple but hey, that’s the only answer I got without cheating. So I got help from Mr. Google and I found these fruits start with F. You’ll be surprised with what I have on this list....
