Daal is a total comfort food for me, something I grew up with. The recipe I am sharing today is the one that I make on a weekly basis. It screams comfort and is homely, not something you would see on a restaurant menu. It has only a handful of ingredients but yet packs a ton of flavor and nutrition for all seasons.
Honey Lemon + Chili Roasted Squash
While simple roasted squash wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper are delicious on their own, the addition of lemon, honey, chili, and the aromatic spices really turns up the flavor. The combination of sweet, spicy and tangy will really make your taste buds happy.
Aloo Methi / Potatoes with Fenugreek Leaves (Punjabi Style)
A simple, flavorful side dish combining fenugreek leaves and potatoes. Methi truly shines here with just the basic spices, making it a homely, delicious vegetarian delight that’s especially loved by Punjabis.
Gluten Free Sponge Cake: No eggs, No Dairy, No Refined Sugar
It’s no surprise that I love simple everyday cakes because you don’t need a special occasion to make or eat them. This cake is completely dairy, egg, refined sugar and gluten-free. You could enjoy it alone, with some fruit or whipped cream. It’s a guilt-free treat anyway.
Traveling with a Gluten Allergy in India
Eating great things while traveling is a huge pleasure for me. I am constantly getting asked what gluten-free foods I eat while traveling to my home country India, so I set out to write a post. Prior to heading on this trip, I thought I would take pictures of all the food I eat and document it on my blog. However, the truth is that in the excitement of eating the delicious food, I forgot to take enough pictures. But no worries, I am sharing the ones I have and the tips that will help you to eat gluten-free anywhere in India. In the last part of the post, I have mentioned a few of the restaurants where we ate on this trip.
Hopefully, this post will help you plan an enjoyable trip to India without the fear of being glutened.
Orange and Walnut Spice Cake
I enjoy eating healthy, but I love the occasional treats as well. Today I have a recipe for a traditional Greek cake full of delicious zesty orange, warm spices and toasted walnuts. This is a very moist and decadent cake for an afternoon snack with a cup of tea or coffee.
Pressure Cooker Risotto with Roasted Squash & Fenugreek (Vegan)
This quick version of risotto in a pressure cooker is a boon for a week or weekend dinner, especially when you have surprise guests. Traditional risotto is a labor of love (much like making biryani from scratch) and I actually find standing by the stove and stirring quite enjoyable and relaxing but sometimes you just have to cut corners.
