Today is National Potato Day! Don’t worry I wasn’t aware of it till this morning either, hehe. But I decided to create a fast, spicy and healthy Indian dish. Ok let’s face it everyone probably has potatoes lying around at home, and if you don’t have any tofu, it’s no biggy! This dish is designed …
When I used to be a chickatarian (which I admit wasn’t too long ago), I used to eat a Tandoori Chicken Salad Appetizer at an Indian Restaurant- Moghul- that my family frequents. I really liked that the chef combined grilled, tandoori chicken with cool tomatoes and sauteed peppers and onions, and I HAD to figure …
I promised you a recipe for making your very own Pav Bhaji masala so here it is! Most of these ingredients can be found in a regular super market or wholesale store (i.e. BJs, Costco), or you can have them delivered by FreshDirect! You can change the measurements to suit your needs. However, you can …
If you go to India, then you’ll see crazy amount of food vendors on the street. If you thought NYC was creative with falafels and “nuts for nuts,” then you definitely haven’t been to Mumbai. There’s all different types of snacks, sandwiches, idlis, dosa- you name it! Plus its all vegetarian! Here’s a really popular …

Chinese broccoli in garlic sauce isn’t the only way to eat broccoli these days! I feel that broccoli doesn’t get enough credit. It can be made into so many things- soups, gratins, grilled and sauteed! Not to mention broccoli can be used in essentially every type of cuisine! Since I had a lot of broccoli …
I used to be a chickatarian and have recently turned into a full vegetarian. It wasn’t a very hard transition for me, considering I’m Indian and most of my food is vegetarian to begin with. However, as a past meat eater, I do miss certain tastes like buffalo or barbecue chicken. The inspiriation for this …
As a post-undergrad student (oh my god I feel so old), I know how it is to live off of Maggi/Ramen. It can get really boring and unsatisfying. Here’s a great recipe to jazz up your maggi/ramen noodles, without spending a lot of money, or putting in a lot of effort! I combine healthy broccoli …
If you haven’t noticed by now I love bold flavors and especially onions and garlic. This pasta salad recipe is a whole new take on the traditional Italian cold pasta dish. No more boring packet vinaigrettes or raw veggies in your salad. Plus this is a great way to have a fast lunch at home …
Who needs a hamburger when you can turn a veggie burger into literally ANYTHING?! I know that a vegetarian’ freezer definitely has a package of veggie burgers. Don’t lie, you do! They’re a great source of protein and fiber and not to mention they’re really filling- great for lunchtime! I figured I’d get a little …
