If you love tofu, see more tofu recipes like my Sriracha Tofu or this Tofu Stir Fry recipe. For more take-out makeovers try Orange Chicken and Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry makeovers. Kung Pao Tofu would awesome served with my take on Wonton Soup....

A popular breakfast item is this Paneer Bhurji that you can enjoy on a toasted bun. A simple and delicious Paneer Sandwich. Growing up, my non-Punjabi friends assumed I ate paneer all the time, but since paneer is a cheese that’s high in fat, my mom rarely made it....

These beignets, this Monte Cristo sandwich, and this TO DIE FOR churro toffee (it’s seriously the best treat EVER!) are all things you must try! What is a Mint Julep? This mint julep is a nonalcoholic lemonade/limeade drink. It is by far the most refreshing drink that you can make to cool off and taste delicious!...
Biryani is a bit like a newborn kitten – except you don’t cook nor eat newborn kittens. It requires heaps of concentration, patience and love. Each individual component needs to be prepared to just the right level before the ingredients can be assembled in a harmonious fashion, and then gently steamed to create an insanely delicious smelling and tasting dish to fight over at the dinner table. In the last post we discussed the origins of Mughlai cuisine and what makes it so majestic, and this fruity, nutty aromatic rice is right on point....
Hey friends! It’s Melanie here again from Garnish & Glaze bringing you a delicious classic but made easy. One Skillet Chicken Pot Pie can get a little complicated so I simplified it by making it all in one skillet and using puff pastry dough. I mean, who doesn’t want less dishes to clean? Plus, Puff Pastry! It’s not only easier than making your own pie crust, but it’s puffy flakiness is just beyond comparison....
My husband is OBSESSED with flan. It is one of his all-time favorite desserts. He was super excited when I told him I was making flan for Cinco de Mayo. After the first bite, he said to me, “Nisha, this is one of the best desserts you’ve ever made.” That made me very happy! 🙂 On our most recent trip to Mexico, we had the BEST FLAN at Maria Jiminez, a cute family-owned restaurant located in Downtown Los Cabos....
I love paneer like there is no tomorrow. It’s so delicious on its own, but throw in some marinade, and it’s a hundred times better. With that said, my husband loves quesadillas, he loves anything but Indian food. The only kind of Indian food he seems to love is Indian Fusion food. I know, crazy! What are Paneer Tikka Quesadillas? Paneer Tikka Quesadillas are essentially marinated and cooked paneer with veggies that are stuffed inside a tortilla with cheese....
Hi Friends! Melanie here again from Garnish & Glaze to bring you a delicious side dish that will turn you into a veggie lover. This Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower is sure to be your new favorite side at dinner. For the longest time cauliflower was super low on my list of favorite vegetables. Honestly, when eaten raw it makes me bloated and have the worst burps and it’s just not very tasty when steamed....
Pasta with Asparagus The egg yolk brings a richness and creaminess to this pasta dish without adding too much fat. Using quality ingredients like Parmigiano-Reggiano, fresh cracked pepper and extra virgin olive oil make this simple dish outstanding. Why should you be eating asparagus? Asparagus is high in Folic Acid and is a good source of potassium, fiber, vitamins A, B6 and C. This makes a great side dish or lunch, or you can increase the pasta to 8 oz for a meatless main dish adding a little more pasta water as needed for 7 points plus per serving....
Naan is one of India’s most famous breads, and probably the most well-known in British Asian restaurants. Very rarely do I leave an Indian restaurant without having filled my belly with garlic and coriander naan – lest they just so happen to have garlic, coriander and chilli naan on the menu (in which case, I’ll take two). Whenever I’m making naan, I love to add kalonji (nigella) seeds – they impart that special flavour you definitely know, but somehow can never put your finger on....
Brussel Sprouts are a full flavored cute veggie that packs a nutritional punch. For more ways to use them try them in Creamy Parmesan Garlic Brussels Sprouts, Apple Bacon Brussel Sprouts Salad and Air Fryer Crispy Parmesan Brussel Sprouts. Sautéed Brussel Sprouts These are not your mother’s Brussel sprouts! Those were the days of steamed and boiled everything. It turned vegetables to bland mush. No wonder we didn’t like our veggies growing up!...
Pumpkin Bread hits differently during the fall. The pumpkin spice flavors are so perfect this time of year and pair so well with a cup of hot coffee. The best feeling is waking up to the smell of pumpkin bread baking in the oven. It’s perfect during the holidays. What is Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Saffron Frosting? Pumpkin anything pairs so well with cream cheese frosting. For my Pumpkin Bread, I decided to add a slight desi twist by adding ground cardamom to the actual pumpkin bread and saffron to the cream cheese frosting....
I try to keep the furnace off as long as I possibly can. My hubby always wants to turn it on the second it gets cold in the house. But make him wait until you can practically see your breath it is so cold. 🙂 The temperatures dropped to about 48 degrees last week. So we turned on the furnace and I knew it was the perfect time for this delicious and warm white hot chocolate....

Roasted Asparagus Roasted Asparagus is a super easy side dish that goes well with almost anything, like chicken, steak, salmon, baked ham, and pork. It’s great for a quick weeknight dinner or any holiday side dish. I live in a very divided house when it comes to asparagus. Half of us love it, and the other half… not so much! But I still make this roasted asparagus and toss the leftovers in my salads, with eggs, or just heat it up for lunch....
