This weeknight-friendly recipe for Lightened Up Chicken Tikka Masala Soup recipe is lower in carbs without sacrificing flavor. Did you ever meet someone, have a super brief conversation with them, and realize that if you had met at a different time and/or in a different place you could have really hit it off?...
Green Pea, Baby Potato, and Cauliflower Curry
When it comes to Indian spice mixes, I have to admit that curry powder typically isn’t on my list of favorites; instead, garam masala spice mix is my much-preferred go-to. (Garam masala makes a perfect dish of Lamb Tikka Masala or Dal Makhani/Butter Lentils!)...

Lamb Meatballs in a Spicy Curry
My mom has always been quite the sneaky cook. She always wanted us to expand our culinary horizons and give new things a try. We weren’t picky kids, but when the new things she wanted us to try were hare, bear, and deer, we protested something fierce. (We had some serious hunters in the family…and the bear was a result of my uncle about to be attacked in the woods by a bear when he was deer hunting. He literally had one shot!) So when it came to uncommon meats, my mom tried to fool us every time. It got to the point when she […]...
Naan
Naan (Leavened Indian Flatbread) is easier to make than you might think! It’s chewy and delicious, and pairs well with just about any Indian dish. I would love to be able to tell you that this wasn’t all I had for dinner one night this summer. Sadly, that would be a lie. I don’t know why, I guess sometimes you just need to eat a whole bunch of onion chutney scooped up with fresh naan. (At least I do anyway.) At least there was onion so it wasn’t totally bereft of veggies. And I did have watermelon for dessert, lol. Mike was undoubtedly a little […]...
Indian-Spiced Roasted Potatoes
One of our favorite summer meals is tandoori chicken cooked on a charcoal grill. Using a charcoal grill takes quite a bit more work than a gas grill, but the smoky flavor is completely worth it. (Plus, Mike is in charge of the grilling so it doesn’t matter to me…and he enjoys it. :) )...
Indian-Spiced Cream of Tomato Soup with Whole Wheat Couscous
I know I’ve mentioned it here before, but I was a strange child (I know that’s pretty open for interpretation, but I’m mostly talking about my tastes in food, lol!). I hated foods I should have loved (tomato soup, for example), and loved things that most kids abhor (like beets). I know what you’re thinking…what kind of kid hates tomato soup and likes beets?!...
Chapatis
When I was trying to think of what to make for dinner for Mike and I the night before we left for a recent vacation, I noticed a jar of spicy cashew and cream sauce in the pantry that sounded pretty tasty (which it was, especially with chicken and a few veggies added in). To go along with it, I gave Mike a choice between rice and homemade bread. He’s so sweet, at first he said whatever is easier… Then he got a pensive, far-off look and asked if I minded making bread. I laughed, thinking that I’d much rather be making bread than cleaning/packing/doing […]...
Onion Bhajis & Tamarind Chutney
Bhajis (or pakoras, depending on where in India you are or who you’re talking to) in general, and onion bhajis in particular, are one of my favorite appetizers. A friend taught me how to make them a few years ago and I’ve been making them ever since; I would have shared sooner, except that I thought I already had! I just recently realized that I didn’t have them on my site so now I’m righting this horrible wrong. ;)...
Lamb Tikka Masala
Richly spiced and creamy with tender meat, this Lamb Tikka Masala will have you making Indian food at home on the regular! The first time I had Indian food wasn’t that long ago; I was in college and one of my best friends was Indian. She had a real thing for chicken finger subs, so on the rare occasion when we ventured off campus for a meal, she insisted on going to a local sub shop every time. One night when we were going out to dinner I just couldn’t look at another sub; it was then that she suggested Indian food and I happily agreed....
