Unlike what’s served in most Indian restaurants, Indian home-cooked meals are very simple and nutritious. Generally, any Indian major meal comprises one vegetable dish called sabzi, one dish made with legumes called dal, roti, or rice, and a few side dishes like raita, salad, chutney, or pickle. On a regular day, this is what almost every Indian eats. There might be variations in the way these dishes are cooked depending upon the region but the main components remain the same....

Just when you thought you couldn’t love bagels anymore, prepare to fall even deeper in love. Follow me… Bagel Chips Bagels are actually perfect to turn into chips, not only for their shape and size, but also because they come out super crunchy. Before testing this recipe I imagined they might come out with a texture more like toast, but the bagel’s dense texture means they come out nice and firm/crunchy....

How To Roast Leg of Lamb I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card. Boneless Leg of Lamb – I like a boneless cut rather than bone-in, because the meat cooks evenly and is easier to slice. And no need to trim the fat—that keeps it juicy and full of flavor! You can also use the same ingredients for lamb shoulder, which is less lean, so the cook time may be different....

If you’re looking for a show-stopping dip to serve as an appetizer, I’ve got you covered. This is the ultimate crowd pleaser which never fails. Follow me… Hummus with Caramelized Onions Caramelized onion hummus is quite a popular variation in the UK, but if you’ve never heard of this fusion you’re certainly in for a treat. The sweet and slightly tangy taste of the onions blend perfectly with the rich and nutty flavours from the hummus....

Is there a more gorgeous combo than chicken, leek and mushroom? Ugh, such a classic flavour combo that just begs to be wrapped in a creamy sauce and plonked in a pie. A pie recipe is one of those things that seems like so much effort than it actually is. Admittedly I do tend to use pre made pastry, but even so it’s ‘easy as pie’. Oh god, forgive me that was dreadful....

If you talk about quick meals then the first thing that comes to mind is Asian style Stir fries. Once you do all the preparation, you barely need 15 minutes to cook the entire dish. Chicken Stir Fry is my go-to recipe most of the time. I don’t really follow any particular recipe for my Chicken Stir fry. A sweet, spicy and salty stir fry sauce with chicken and any available vegetables in the refrigerator works for me....

It has all the flavors of my creamy chicken florentine soup, but cooked quickly in a skillet, much like Tuscan salmon, savory marry me chicken, or creamy mushroom chicken.

Despite the name, chicken Florentine is actually a French dish — not from Florence, Italy....

My inspiration for this grilled chicken kabob recipe is a bit unusual. I ran with these childhood memories I have of eating kabobs at the lake, except I don’t remember who made them or even the exact flavors. All I recall is those care-free lake afternoons. So, drawing on my days working at a Greek restaurant, I put a Mediterranean spin on my own version here. And even if these chicken kabobs aren’t quite the same as the ones you remember, maybe they’ll take you right back like they do for me....

What Makes This Recipe So Good Chicken scarpariello is full of amazing, rich flavors. The chicken thighs are naturally more flavorful than chicken breasts, and the bone and skin help them retain that flavor even better. They’re seasoned with salt and pepper, then seared to a crisp, before being mixed together with delicious Italian sausage, savory bell peppers and onions, mild & sweet pickled peppadews, and earthy fresh herbs.This dish is an easier-than-it-seems one-skillet meal that’s just as great for a mid-week dinner as it is for a special occasion....

This flavorful dish shares cooking techniques with traditional carnitas and uses similar seasoning as dishes like salsa verde and pozole, while still offering a unique and distinct taste that sets it apart from a classic red chili. The balance of flavors truly embodies the essence of Mexican cuisine (and we all know how much I love Mexican food). Don’t be intimidated by the cook time for this chile verde recipe — it’s mostly hands-off!...

I couldn’t possibly let one more Thanksgiving pass without finally sharing this recipe. I’ve had a lot of requests for vegan pumpkin pie recipe over the years, and that’s one of the reasons it had to be done. It was so much easier than anticipated! Back when I was new to vegan cooking I would’ve thought replicating that classic custardy texture in an eggless non-dairy pumpkin pie would be impossible....

Show of hands: who hates alfredo? You.. there, in the back. GET OUT. You are but a robot amongst us sent to destroy the empire. The alfredo empire of deliciousness, that is. Uh… I digress. Another show of hands: who loves the fat and calories in a bowl of creamy, rich fettuccine alfredo? You.. there, in the back. GET OUT. I hate you for your metabolism. Alfredo has always been one of my favorite pasta sauces, but I tend to reserve it for a special occasion treat, due to the high amounts of butter, cream, and cheese....

Chicken and broccoli is a glorious combination, and today we’re celebrating it in the only way I know how – by loading it in a creamy pasta of course! Follow me… Baked Chicken and Broccoli Most pasta recipes I do often take place either all in the same pan, or at least mostly in the same pan. This one is a little different because we’re actually going to bake the chicken and broccoli....

I often tell people that I didn’t like meat when I was a kid. This is true, but most of the time I ate it when asked. One thing that I almost inevitably refused to eat though, was fish. Don’t most kids hate fish? I sure did! Except for crispy fish stick or fillets. Which makes sense, because they’re fried and all. And who can hate fried food? Not this kiddo!...

It’s been all of, what, two weeks since I posted a recipe involving curry in some form or another? I’m slacking. Better remedy that. Okay, so maybe I looked at my post lineup spanning the last, um…couple of years, and realized just how frequent an appearance curried foods make on this site. But the thing is, you guys seem to dig curry just as much as I do. Curry, in all its forms, one of my favorite ways to dress up an otherwise plain recipe....
