Roasted snapper fillets seasoned with rosemary, garlic and olive oil dusted with breadcrumbs and roasted in the oven or also excellent cooked on the grill. This takes less than 30 minutes to make and we enjoyed this with a cucumber tomato salad on the side. Snapper is a finely textured white fish that lends itself very well to herbs and seasoning. For this recipe I used red snapper because it’s always been a favorite of mine but after cooking this last night I did some research and read that it has been overfished and is on a list for endangered species which probably explains the high price....

By now you must know I’m obsessed with anything “tikka masala”, and so here is another rendition of my tikka masala sauce using salmon.

This recipe was requested by Katrina via Ask Sanjana and it is my pleasure to share with you all, my old skool recipe for Gujarati daal. The beauty of Gujarati daal is that it is thinner and therefore lighter than your usual daal, yet also packed full of flavour. It is super important that the daal is hot, sweet and sour (almost in the same way that Thai food is… which perhaps explains my borderline-obsessive love of the Thai cuisine)....

I’m love using balsamic glaze over salads, it’s not just pretty it’s sweet and tangy and there’s no need for oil. Delallo makes the best one I’ve tried, but I’ve also seen the glaze at Trader Joes. If you don’t have it, you can certainly drizzle the salad with regular balsamic, although it won’t be as pretty. Pin It To Save For Later!

Pineapple Chicken Stir Fry Years ago, I attended a Thai Kitchen event, where their chef demonstrated this Pineapple Chicken Stir Fry Recipe, and I loved it so much they kindly shared with me.

If you love quick and easy stir fry dishes like this, you should also try my Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry or this Thai Basil Chicken....

Here’s another Hawaiian-inspired recipe. On my recent trip to Hawaii, the pineapple was on every single menu, whether it was in the form of a cocktail, an appetizer, an entree, or dessert.
