Drop that Grilled Cheese & Tomato Sauce because there is a hotter, sassier, AND browner girl in town. Yes, I have done the unthinkable but dreamt about – Grilled Cheese with Tikka Masala Dip – 100% vegan!!! Ok y’all likely know my sentiments on Tikka Masala (Chicken Tikka Masala) by now – it is NOT …
I have to admit – I’ve never actually eaten ceviche before. BUT, I’ve been to enough Latin American restaurants and seen my middle sister eat it enough (she lives in Miami) to have a sense of what it might taste like. It always looked like a cross between an Indian koshumbri (Kannada for cold side …
I had a little picnic this past weekend with friends (well, with whatever friends were actually still in the city since everyone is fleeing like birds migrating south in a panic) for a little belated birthday celebration. So naturally, I wanted to bake a little something something. It’s obviously not easy to carry a normal …
Everything has changed for us this year – some for the better, some for the worse. The one thing that has been a challenge for many, including myself, is the lack of travel. If you have the opportunity and are privileged enough to live a life where you can freely travel, then you likely understand …
I was originally going to leave this recipe just for my IGTV, but since it was featured in my CNN interview, there has been some hot demand! Everyone is tryna’ get a slice, ha! Get it? Come on, so phunny! But in all seriousness, I’m so happy people are taking more of an interest in …
I’ve had so many delicious versions of Rajas con Crema around NYC and in Mexico. Obviously, some better than others.

I love it, you love it, we all love it. TACO BELL. I can confidently say that I have not met an Indian person (at least in the States) that dislikes Taco Bell, or even a non-Indian person. It is the only fast food chain that caters to vegetarian AND vegans for a long time, …
Let me start by saying that if you are not a chocolate chip cookie fan, you are not human. I literally do not know a soul that doesn’t like a classic chocolate chip cookie – even people who HATE chocolate like chocolate chip cookies. We grew up on the classic refrigerated pillsbury dough roll (where …
Honestly, this doesn’t need a fancy intro. You like cauliflower, I like cauliflower. We’re all screaming for… CAULIFLOWER. But! This ain’t no any old cauliflower rice or cauliflower wings. This is a Whole Roasted Cauli baby (yes I refer to my vegetables as babies. Back off), with a pretty unique marinade. And I recommend starting …
Alright, alright. I know the internet is swarmed with “Chana Masala” and “Chickpea Curry” recipes – ugh don’t even get my started on the word and use of ‘curry’ RAWR – but I can assure you, there isn’t a recipe out there like this! This Chole is a dish we’ve been making at home, so …
