There is a classic street-food in India called the Bombay Sandwich. Its pretty much the vegetarians sub, filled with yummy refreshing ingredients, such as cool cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, potato, Indian spices and spicy coriander-chili chutney. I really like this sandwich and find it to be healthy, hearty, and filling. I decided to recreate this sandwich, …
Got like 50 limes sitting around? No, you probably don’t. But luckily this recipe doesn’t require 50 limes. Over the weekend my mom, oldest sister , and I hosted a bridal shower for my middle sister! One of the decorations was filling up a giant champagne glass with alternating oranges and limes (yes a giant …

The one we traditionally make at home is a Maharashtrian, and most similar to the South-Indian version of Bhaingan Bharta. I love this dish in the summer because it can served at room temperature or cold. It is …
Even though orzo is an Italian pasta, I feel like it doesn’t have to be cooked in a traditional Italian manner. Then again, nothing has to be cooked with rules or regulations (that’s why I love to cook!). When I think of orzo I think Italian, Moroccan and a bit Middle Eastern. So I basically …
