After living in California for 6 months, I hosted my first get-together. Truth be told, I was a bit nervous because people always expect a little more from a food blogger. Hosting for a few women comes easy to me, but hosting for couples and I start stressing. My party was a success, but the one item that stole the show was this Cranberry Orange Cheesecake. Everything you see here is made from scratch… the crust, filling, and cranberry topping....

Besides making a batch of amazing Guacamole and Avocado Fries which turned out to be a disaster, I also made Creamy Avocado Pesto Pasta. It was quite amazing, and healthy, too. Unfortunately, I can’t take credit for this delectable recipe that I found on one of the best vegan blogs out there, Angela of Oh She Glows. What I love about this dish is the pesto sauce incorporates avocado instead of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)....

No dish is an island For me, “fusion” is not a dirty word when it comes to food. Often characterised as a slap-dash stab at innovation, the concept of “fusion” is all too frequently misunderstood in today’s food narrative. As a British child of Kenyan and Tanzanian immigrants, both with Indian Gujarati ancestry, the concept of “fusion food” was deep-rooted in the meals I grew up with. Over years, a mishmash of culinary principles became a cherished by-product of the complex history of South Asian settlers in East Africa....
Crock Pot Applesauce Nothing beats homemade apple sauce, making it in the crock pot is easy and your house will smell divine while the apples and cinnamon simmer all day long. The hardest part about making this sauce is peeling the apples (which is not hard at all!). I love using it in my homemade Applesauce Nut Bread, or with Pork Chops and Apple Sauce, so good! And for a more concentrated sauce with a longer shelf life, you may also like this Slow Cooker Apple Butter recipe....

I’ve got a tonne of rose recipes on the blog, some of my favourites being Strawberry Cheesecake Falooda, Eggless Rose Custard Creams, Pistachio and Rose Bombay Halwa, Cardamom Wreath with Rose Drizzle and Candied Lemon Peel. A dash of rose water also doesn’t go amiss in biryani, ice cream and of course, cake....

Gajar ka Halwa is particularly popular in winter, since this is when carrots are abundant in the North and North East. However, if you have a mountain of carrots to use up at any time, this is the most perfect use for them. This is Gajar ka Halwa with a sweet orange tadka, served with Italian mascarpone. It’s a delicious, grown-up version of the traditional recipe. My Gajar ka Halwa recipe is… VegetarianSimple to makePerfect for celebrations...
I dip them in the most delicious garlic butter to finish. The combination of garlic butter and cumin against the blank canvas of the rice flour dumpling is so comforting and delicious. What is Khichu (Papdi no Lot)? Khichu is also known as Papdi no Lot, since it is the same dough (‘lot’) we use to make ‘papad’ or rice poppadoms. Instead of rolling, dehydrating in the sun and the frying to a crisp cracker, many people choose to steam the dough for a quick snack....
