Indian Bhaingan Bhartha (Indian Baba Ghanoush)

Indian Bhaingan Bhartha (Indian Baba Ghanoush)

Bhaingan Bhartha is a classic Indian dish. However, it is slightly different in every region of India. The one we traditionally make at home is a Maharashtrian, and most similar to the South-Indian version of Bhaingan Bharta. I love this dish in the summer because it can served at room temperature or cold. It is …

Mango Cupcakes with Mango-Cardamom Buttercream Frosting

You would think that as a 1st generation Indian, mango would be one of my favorite fruits. Yeah, it’s definitely…not. I don’t know- for some reason I’m just not into mango.

I’m sure you know by now that I have a huge sweet tooth and will always given in to something chocolatey. I was bored one day and was really in the mood for a strawberry shortcake, but I wanted chocolate as well. So what better way to combine chocolate and strawberries than in a cupcake?! …

Garlic-Mint Orzo with Cumin & Capers

Garlic-Mint Orzo with Cumin & Capers

Even though orzo is an Italian pasta, I feel like it doesn’t have to be cooked in a traditional Italian manner. Then again, nothing has to be cooked with rules or regulations (that’s why I love to cook!). When I think of orzo I think Italian, Moroccan and a bit Middle Eastern. So I basically …
