This Easy Low Carb Butter Chicken Recipe is packed with flavor and perfect for weeknight dinners! Take a few minutes to marinade and grill chicken or use leftover or rotisserie chicken to save time. When I lived in the DC area I was completely spoiled with great food. There was anything and everything a girl could want, and most of it within a short distance. New York-style pizza, Afghani food, Ethiopian, Greek, Pakistani, Syrian, Spanish, French, the freshest seafood, and of course, my personal favorite, truly fantastic Indian cuisine....
Low Carb Indian Chicken Korma with Rotisserie Chicken (or Leftover Turkey)
With this Low Carb Indian Chicken Korma with Rotisserie Chicken (or Leftover Turkey) you’ll be surprised that you can serve up such a flavorful curry on a weeknight! The first Indian dish I tried was Chicken Tikka Masala. That and Butter Chicken are everyone’s favorites, right? Of course I instantly fell in love. For at least the next 10 times that I went to Indian restaurants I would order one of those two dishes, but after a while I finally got adventurous enough to branch out. I discovered that there’s so much more to enjoy!...

Orange and Toasted Almond Saffron Rice Pilaf with Golden Raisins
Aromatic with orange and spices, this Orange and Toasted Almond Saffron Rice Pilaf with Golden Raisins is the perfect balance of sweet and savory! The secret ingredient that takes it over the top is a little splash of orange blossom water right before serving. In keeping with my exotic, intimate holiday meal, this one of the side dish stars of the show. Some kind of pilaf is a necessary component along with my Persian-Inspired Cornish Hens with Pomegranate Walnut Sauce; it acts as a bed to soak up all that glorious stew-like liquid....

Butter Lentil Curry, Paleo Crepes, and Chopped Salad make a flavorful Indian-inspired feast in about an hour that’s much better than takeout! Every so often I get a hardcore craving for Indian food.

Here in Orlando, it’s a different story....
Indian-Spiced Chickpea Curry (Chana Masala) {Lagostina 5-Quart Casserole Giveaway}
Indian-Spiced Chickpea Curry (Chana Masala) is an uncomplicated, unpretentious, and completely satisfying vegan dish of chickpeas cooked until meltingly tender in an aromatic tomato-based sauce redolent with garlic, ginger, and exotic spices. I still remember the first Indian meal I ever had. I was a freshman at college and I was a little skeptical, mostly because I thought I didn’t like spicy food. But honestly, back then I didn’t really understand the difference between a well-spiced dish vs a spicy-hot dish. I was about to get schooled....
Crispy Indian Potato Cakes (Aloo Tikki)
The flavor of these Mustard or Garlic-Spiked Crispy Potato Cakes will transport you straight to India for street food! I am a ridiculously big fan of street food. When I travel, one of my favorite ways to experience a new place is to spend an afternoon wandering around with no real destination to speak of, enjoying the local fare from street vendors. Not only does it provide an authentic sampling of local eats, but it’s also a much more affordable option!...
Creamy Cashew Mushroom and Green Pea Masala {Vegan}
Vegan Creamy Cashew Mushroom and Green Pea Masala is rich and satisfying and full of exotic spices. I’m an Indian food junkie, never seeming to be able to satiate my craving for the exotic spices and complex layers of flavor in a good Indian dish. I make a lot of different Indian recipes: Biryani, Lamb Tikka Masala, Naan, Butter Lentils, and even Indian-inspired fusion foods like Easy Turkey or Chicken Masala Wraps. But when I’m looking for comfort food, aromatic Indian spices enrobed in a velvety sauce always hits the spot. (Which is why I love Butter Chicken so much!)...
Easy Turkey or Chicken Masala Wraps
Easy Turkey or Chicken Masala Wraps are a delicious recipe to transform leftovers into a completely new meal! I don’t consider myself a food snob at all. My go-to meal when nothing sounds good is a humble egg (preferably fried, runny yolk) with roasted vegetables, or a big pile of salad greens topped with whatever leftovers I can find in the fridge....
Jewel-Toned Sweet and Savory Basmati Rice Pilaf with Pomegranate
Jewel-Toned Sweet and Savory Basmati Rice Pilaf with Pomegranate is an impressive-looking side dish that’s easy to make and pairs well with just about anything! I grew up with traditional holiday side dishes like mashed potatoes, stuffing, candied yams, and green bean casserole. They were ubiquitous at every holiday dinner, and I (more or less) enjoyed them all. These are the classics that, for me, harken back to my first holiday memories, so they’ll always feel special, but now I’m ready for a little bit of a change. Or at the very least, I’m ready to incorporate a couple fresh new side dish ideas into […]...
