This recipe was shared by my BFF Loretta Rodrigues. The first time I tried it, I absolutely adored this cake and so did everyone else. It tastes similar to a semolina cake I made to celebrate Kravings 1st birthday, but the process to make this is very different and unique.
Chicken Angara
I love trying new recipes! Recently I saw quite a few Chicken Angara recipes floating on the internet. This had been a staple in most Mughlai restaurants in India but I never tried making it before. I recipe developed this a few times before I thought it was perfect to share with you. The most …
Beef Nihari
Nihari has long been a favourite in my household. I didn’t grow up eating it, but my husband did and I decided to learn how to make it. Of course like many popular recipes, each family has their own way of preparing Nihari. Traditionally this is slow cooked overnight and in the olden days the …
Dragon Chicken
Often served as an appetizer, Dragon Chicken is made from Chicken strips that are battered and fried and tossed in a sweet & spicy gravy to coat. It’s a super easy recipe to put together even if you want to throw it together for a mid week snack. Even though it’s typically ordered as a …
Achari Kebab

Rasmalai
From all the recipes I’ve created or developed for this channel, I had the most trials and errors with this one. It’s very easy to make Rasmalai, but takes some finessing to get it right. I’ve had everything from unmoldable dough to disintegrating dough in the syrup and with every failure, I was more convinced …

Pumpkin Masala & Turkey Pasta
Let’s start with the inspiration for this dish – this zuchette pasta that already looks like cute little pumpkins. I purchased this from Trader Joes and I knew it would come in handy for the fall. If you don’t have this you can use any other type of pasta for this recipe Whether you’re making …
