We Love Lo Mein Oh, Lo Mein! Sometimes I feel like I was born on the wrong continent. I would happily eat rice, pan-fried noodles, sushi, and spicy curries the rest of my days without complaint. When we visited my parents in Tulsa, OK this summer, my secret goal, each day, was to eat at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. It was the constant joke with my family, “Will Sommer find a way to sneak in her lunch appointment today?...

Averrhoa Bilimbi, also known as tree sorrel or cucumber tree, is a fruit-bearing tree of the genus Averrhoa. This fruit is sour in taste. So you can use it in any food recipe to give sour flavor to the dish by using bilimbi or bimbul instead of tomato, lemon, raw mango, tamarind, vinegar, etc. Also, bilimbi can be used if you want to clean brass, bronze, or remove any stains....

Happy Monday, y’all! How was your stay-at-home Easter celebration yesterday? Did you host a virtual party?

Why We Love Zesty Italian Burgers We Americans like our comfort food. We are always trying to turn the unfamiliar into the familiar.

Personally, I love to cook pork loin because it’s so versatile. Since it’s a leaner cut of meat, the flavor is milder and can pair with a wide range of herbs, spices, and other ingredients. There is a flavor combination for everyone on this list, from cheddar and apple stuffing to bacon and mushroom gravy. It’s also super easy to cook a pork roast to perfection. It has just the right amount of fat content, which means it doesn’t dry out quickly when you cook it....

Aloo Keema is a dry curry, which means that the base ingredients, such as onions, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes, are cooked and blended with the ground beef. After the meat is ready, small cubed potatoes are added and cooked to soft, fluffy perfection. The combination of ground beef and potatoes is universally appealing, as can be seen in the popularity of recipes like Aloo Gosht and Biryani. This recipe is no different and can be enjoyed with plain basmati rice or naan....

Recipe card Indian chicken biryani recipe Biryani with chicken is the most loved type of biryani in India. The same recipe can make vegetables or biryani with mutton, pork, shrimp, lamb, etc. The steps remain the same. Traditionally, chicken is marinated first. The raw, uncooked meat is layered on a pot, followed by fried onions, par-cooked rice, herbs, etc. This technique requires a little practice to avoid burning, and it is also called Hyderabadi dum biryani (kacchi biryani)....

Malai refers to heavy whipping cream, a key ingredient in this recipe. The fat in the cream, combined with a few key ingredients, makes the chicken so juicy. Many modern versions of this recipe use cream cheese or shredded mozzarella cheese instead of cream. While you can use those if you prefer, I find that the traditional ingredients I’ve used here yield the best results. My goal, as always, is to present you with as authentic a recipe as possible and to recreate the flavors of restaurant and childhood favorites at home....
