There are three layers in this vegan stir fry that make it so special: (1) Frozen, then thawed tofu is pan-fried until crispy and chewy, (2) crisp-tender vegetables, and (3) a flavor-rich sauce that makes each bit a little salty, savory, tangy, and a little sweet.

Health Benefits of Turmeric The main active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that boost the immune system. I learned this as a child when my sister sprained her ankle while we were playing dodgeball, and my aunt–instead of applying an elastic bandage or wrap, as we Westerners tend to do–made a turmeric paste and generously lathered it on my sister’s ankle....

It’s an impressive comfort food classic from Greece, made with layers of roasted potatoes and eggplant, a spiced vegan meat sauce, and a creamy vegan bechamel, all baked in the oven into a creamy casserole. Trust me when I say it’s outrageously good. This vegan version is just as indulgent as the meat-and-dairy heavy classic but won’t weigh you down.

I’ve changed his recipe a bit to suit my taste and fortunately it turned out quite delicious....

Valentine’s Day is definitely a Hallmark holiday. I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with this day. Back in college, it was one of the most depressing days of the year cause I never had a boyfriend lol… but once I got married to my husband (Sanjiv), I’ll admit that I started to enjoy Valentine’s Day. As much as this day is hyped up, I still love doing a night out or a date night at home with a home-cooked meal....

I had my first chutney cheese butter sandwich at six years old while traveling from Nigeria to India on Air India.

It gets me so excited when I travel internationally. I am obsessed with chai and anything that has to do with chai....
