Yes, there are a lot of ingredients in this curry recipe but be encouraged that it is well worth it. I made a point of saving 4 cups of turkey from Thanksgiving so I could make this Indian/British recipe. For some time I have been enjoying Indian cuisine and have gradually added many of the … Continue reading
I do like many of Meera Sodha’s Indian family recipes, especially ones found in her cookbook, Made in India: Recipes from an Indian Family Kitchen, published in 2015. Green beans are a favorite vegetable and bring back great memories of my days as a gardener when these delectable beans were an important part of my … Continue reading
I do like curries – I just don’t make them enough. So, when this recipe was posted on New York Times Cooking I knew I had to try it. While looking through one of Meera’s cookbooks I saw a recipe for a Pomegranate and Mint Raita and decided to add it instead of just plain … Continue reading
Since I made Meera’s chicken curry I thought I would also make her version of naan. Both the curry and the naan recipes were adapted by Sam Sifton from NYT Cooking. I also checked the one cookbook I have that Meera published “Made in India: Recipes from an Indian Family Kitchen,” 2015 and both recipes … Continue reading
This is the second Pasta alla Vodka (white wine) recipe I found that has been “tweaked” from the traditional version. It’s not that I don’t like vodka I just prefer to cook with wine.

I received an email recipe from seriouseats.com which sounded so good that I had to try it. They called it the cauliflower dish you will want to make every day of the week. I don’t think so – but it is very good, fragrant and full of flavor. Another recipe from Chetna Makan, adapted. She … Continue reading
I never heard of this “dessert” until a nephew mentioned it while we were eating at a local Indian restaurant. He didn’t order one but it made me curious. Lassi is a simple yogurt-based beverage/dessert consisting of yogurt (Indian yogurt but Greek yogurt will do – just add less liquid), water or milk and typically … Continue reading
UPDATE – Jan 8, 2024: The Michigan Wolverines are the National College Football Champs. After winning the Rose Bowl game against Alabama the team went on to beat the Washington Huskies, 34-13. GO BLUE!!! As a final post for 2023 I decided to make a special dip in honor of The University of Michigan being … Continue reading
Yes, I have another shrimp recipe and this time it showcases Indian cuisine and all their wonderful and aromatic spices. Of course shrimp is always a win-win for me and the sauce complements this seafood which takes only 30 minutes to cook. How can you beat that? This recipe was contributed by Zainab Shah through … Continue reading
Obviously, this is a vegetarian version of the classic chicken butter masala but the cauliflower is roasted instead of sauteed. It is made with an onion tomato gravy and finished with cream. The ending result does depend on the spices you use and there are many. This recipe came to me from Food52 and as … Continue reading
