I see all these towering pancake posts on Instagram. Like – who is spending the time to make these for breakfast?! I can barely wake up in time to do my makeup in the morning, let alone make a towering stack of delicious pancakes. Keyword – delicious. So,, I (or you) may not have time …
This is definitely the season for peaches and you’ve probably noticed a few peachy recipes up on my blog right now. Peaches aren’t widely used in Indian cuisine, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be integrated! When I think of peaches I immediately think of something warm and comforting. And a lot of Indian spices …
A lot of recipe are good enough for 2 people, but sometimes I take the selfish route and make a one person serving. Like when I’m hangry…but want something healthy…but not willing to make TOO many compromises. Wait, that sounds like me everyday, ha! I recently felt like this – shocker – so I decided …
This might potentially be my fifth, sixth, seventh (?) French Toast recipe on chefpriyanka.com. I think its one of those underestimated dishes. It can be made sweet, savory, Indian – you name it! But what I hate about ordering French Toast at a restaurant, is that it most always is bettered in egg and definitely NOT …
Bread to me is like a blank canvas. There’s more to bread than just grilled cheese, toast, and croutons. I know avocado toasts are all the rage, but I seriously cannot justify spending $15+ at a time for one piece of bread and half an avocado. I grew up eating bread in very unique ways …

I’m not talking about a boring old ketchup (sorry, but ketchup doe not cut it and is always too vinegary for me), but a …
I grew up eating a lot of instant grits, and for some odd reason, I loved it. I was probably – no – definitely, the only 5 year old loving it. Aside from instant grits though, we made this lunch dish using Semolina – combined with chilies, peanuts, cumin, and coriander. So there are multiple …
As a vegetarian I eat a lot of bread (if you haven’t already noticed by now), and I like making open-faced sandwiches and ‘toasts.’ But what really pisses me off is when restaurant offer ‘Avocado Toast’ at $15+ – WHY would I spend $15+ on one piece of bread with MAYBE half an avocado on …
I’ve seen these Smoothie Bowls popping up everywhere, especially on Instagram. They’re super colorful, look healthy and delicious. I do make smoothies from time to time and I had some ingredients all ready to go to make one before work. If you buy fresh fruit, I recommend washing, prepping, and freezing at least a quarter …
I love chia. It’s a great source of fiber and Omega 3’s, but I will say it is a bit fattening. That being said, I think the fat content is okay to consume for someone on a primarily vegetarian/vegan diet. I have posted a chia pudding recipe before, but this is a bit different – …
