Skip to Recipe Lately, as I wake up in the mornings, a string of beautiful memories comes flashing back. The festive season has officially begun in my home country, India. And this brings with itself a hollow realisation of everything that I have left behind- the joy of wearing new clothes, the delicacies made by my Mom and good times spent with friends. Thousands of kilometres away from home, a feeling of pervasive emptiness, and a pang of homesickness engulfs me. Over the years, the joy of going back home to near and dear ones has been replaced by video calls. For me, festivals have now become synonymous with good food. I try to create beautiful recipes at home just to bring in the feeling of festivity. And, how can any Indian festival be complete without some lip smacking desserts? The recipe that I am sharing today is a wonderful twist to the traditional Jalebis. Jalebis are one of the most popular and delectable s...

Skip to Recipe It has been raining here for the past few weeks, and we are stuck inside our house. When I see the bright sunlight filtering through the clouds, it brightens up my day and uplifts my mood. On the other hand, waking up to a gloomy sky and wet weather always takes a toll on me. On days, when I am feeling down, whipping up a tasty, comforting meal acts as a relaxing retreat, and soothes my soul. A bowl of hearty, piping curry with steamed rice always melts my heart and brings a big smile on my face. It will be unfair of me if I talk about curry and do not include the recipe for the creamy Coconut Chicken Curry. A one-pan dish of tender chicken simmered in a rich coconut milk sauce, this curry bursts with flavors and comes together in just 30 minutes.

Skip to Recipe While it pains to bid farewell to summer, the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness is now officially upon us. After a great summer this year, I am now ready to welcome autumn with open arms. I am so in love with everything autumnal-the sound of the crispy leaves, the coziness of being inside and watching the rain through the window, the colours of the leaves changing into vibrant hues of orange, red, and yellow, and the list is endless. Everything seems magical to me this time of the year, and this magic lifts my creative spirit. With the cold nights drawing in, there’s nothing that quite compares to curling up on the couch with a warm bowl of soup. The Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Soup is healthy, light, and flavourful and is great as an appetizer or a light dinner. This simple and incredibly delicious soup will surely warm your soul on rainy and cold nights. So this autumn, make sure you’re all insula...
