I can quite literally have mushrooms at any point of the day and in any form. I love stuffed mushrooms but somehow don’t have them quite often. I offered to help my sister clean her house over the weekend and as we were cleaning the refrigerator and found a box of Ricotta cheese and mushrooms staring wide at me. I couldn’t control my temptation and ended up cooking this easy recipe to satisfy my mushroom cravings. A simple creamy Ricotta mixture stuffed into any choice of your mushroom, topped with freshly cracked pepper, earthy spinach leaves and baked to perfection…

I generally garnish my food with a generous amount of cilantro, basil or parsley. I was clearing my fridge and coincidently had only a few greens left on the rack which led me to come up with this green pulav recipe. I have more or less used the same recipe as the traditional vegetable pulav but added green veggies too. So without further ado let’s cook this one pot meal.

I cannot keep on eating stir fry, eggs, fish all the time. I needed chicken, so I came up with this zesty lemon pepper chicken recipe. I used halal chicken tights as they are high in fats which suited my dietary requirements. You…
Continue ReadingVangyache bharit is an extremely popular Maharashtrian recipe cooked using fire roasted eggplant/ aubergine. Basically I would say, it is an Indian equivalent of baba ganoush made using slight different ingredients but gives the same appearance. There are many variations to this recipe but my personal favorite is the one made using yogurt. This recipe is quite simple and effortless. Makes an amazing side dish, I love to have it as a salad or along with phulkas (Indian flat bread). You can also serve this as a dip along with some garlic bread or pita. I have roasted the eggplant…
Continue ReadingI feel completely unmotivated to cook solo meals, hence I tend to skip them. But later end up overeating to compensate on the skipped meal. There are a few recipes which are a keeper, this one being one of them. I generally pick up fresh salmon fillet on my way back home from the gym and stir up this extremely easy and hearty recipe. To whip up this pan seared salmon you only require literally 5 ingredients – salt, olive oil, pepper, pesto of your choice and broccolini. I always have a jar of homemade either cilantro or basil pesto…

I vividly remember our family dinner at restaurants where I always ordered lush green palak paneer with butter roti. I guess I used to have it only because I was a huge fan of Popeye (cartoon character) and wanted to become as strong as him. The child in me still loves palak paneer and I end up making it once every two weeks. I love this recipe for its so easy to make and is packed with so much goodness.
