When autumn (fall) arrives, one of my favorite sights are the trees and footpaths covered in pretty leaves. I really love the different shades of yellows and oranges, and diving deep in the beauty of this natural wonder is the best way to unwind and relax. The slight chill in the air also divert my attention to comfort foods that can warm you inside out. Ending the day with a delicious hearty meal featuring this Indian beef curry is just perfection....

Love Instant Pot recipes? Try my Instant Pot chicken breast, Instant Pot shredded chicken, Instant Pot whole chicken, and Instant Pot pork chops. If you ask my family what their favorite cut of chicken is, they’d tell you it’s chicken thighs. It’s probably why it’s one of my most-used proteins for dinner. My Instant Pot chicken thighs recipe is probably one of my favorite ways to cook them because they are hands-off, need very little seasonings, and yield juicy meat with crispy skin every time....

Preparing the Kadhi for Kachori Kadhi: A Flavorful Base To begin with, let’s prepare the kadhi kachori base, the kadhi. In a mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt, gram flour, and water until smooth. This mixture forms the base of the kadhi gravy, providing a creamy texture and tangy flavor. Next, heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and asafoetida. These tempering ingredients infuse the kadhi with aromatic flavors and add depth to the dish....

Cultural and Traditional Importance Kalakand holds a special place in Indian households during festivals like Diwali, Holi, and Raksha Bandhan. It is one of those sweets that brings a sense of joy and celebration. Traditionally, Kalakand is made with just a few simple ingredients—milk, sugar, and cardamom—but its slow-cooking process brings out rich flavors that make it unique. In many Indian homes, making Kalakand is not only about the sweet itself, but also about the shared moments of celebration with family and friends....

Keto Mozzarella Sticks When it comes to keto appetizers, my favorite recipes to make are cheese chips, tortilla chips, and these keto mozzarella sticks. When it comes to meals, I tend to be an equal opportunist but I always have a downfall and that is the appetizers. If I could make a meal of strict appetizers, I would. There is truly nothing better than bite sized foods, as it means there is room to try a plethora of things....

Keto spaghetti When it comes to keto family-friendly meals, my favorite recipes to make are pasta, lasagna, and this keto spaghetti. Growing up, one of our family staple recipes was spaghetti. Every week, my sister and I would expect some spaghetti based dish, either in the form of bolognese or alfredo. My mom would make big batches of sauces and freeze leftovers, so she could have dinner ready on busy school nights....

Hi The Nish Kitchen readers! My name is Hetal and I blog over at Pretty Polymath, where I blog about food, traveling, crafting and whatever else catches my fancy. When Rosemary asked me to do a guest post about a unknown Indian meal I immediately thought of kichu. Kichu, also known as papdi nu lot, is my favorite Gujarati comfort food dish. Gujarati food is typically vegetarian and the diet is mostly based on grains, lentils and lots of interesting vegetables like okra and bottle gourd (my favorite!...

Looking for more frozen desserts? Try my healthy popsicles, brownie ice cream, and coconut ice cream next. Warm weather demands a chilled, creamy, and sweet dessert. As much as I love old-fashioned ice cream, I love making my kulfi even more! Occasionally, I’ve been able to find it at specialty Indian grocery stores, but since there aren’t many in my area, I’ve had to resort to making my own....

This post was created in partnership with North Carolina Sweet Potatoes. All opinions are our own. The other day I came across a post called Habit Shift: Meal Prep, where author Erin Boyle offers tips on developing the habit of prepping for meals in advance. For example, try scrubbing and chopping sweet potatoes in the morning or the night before instead of right before dinner. Which made me think, it’s all about habit shifting, isn’t it?...

Manjula, I tried this recipe because I thought I had eaten it before, but I was confusing it with something else. What a delightful surprise! It was absolutely, unbelievably delicious! I loved the almost floral notes. Simple, and perfect! Can’t wait to make it again. Wes, Thank you, love to read these comments Manjula your recipe is awesome. Hi Manjula, nice recipe. One question: if I make this dish in morning for dinner, will makhana get too soggy?...

Need a quick fix for your chocolate craving? Try my edible brownie batter, flourless mug cake, and no-bake brownie bites. After hours upon hours of testing savory recipes, sometimes I’m desperate for something sweet…and quickly. That’s where my single serving brownies come in to play. They’re similar to my brownie in a mug, but you get enough to feed 2-4 people–if you’re feeling generous. Why I love this recipe Two minutes!...

There is nothing more satisfying than a roast beef dinner. If I could have some roast beef any night of the week, I’d be a happy camper. As much as I love a sirloin tip roast, chuck tender roast, or a bottom round roast, nothing comes close to the melt-in-your-mouth flavor and texture of a Mississippi pot roast. What is Mississippi pot roast? Just like classic pot roast, this crock pot Mississippi pot roast makes beef chuck roast the star of the show....

Much as we love no bake cookies…sometimes they taste a little flat. You know, grainy and sugary, instead of nuanced and irresistible. So we’ve got a new take: these No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies are a step above the rest! These are rich and chocolaty, full of dark chocolate peanut butter flavor and sweetened just enough with sugar and maple syrup. They’re beautifully glossy in texture, and the flavor? When we serve them at parties, they go fast....

Love decadent pies? Try my vegan blueberry pie, chocolate pudding pie, and coconut cream pie next. If you love all things chocolate and peanut butter as much as I do, then you’re going to want to make this pie recipe. The crust is made from chocolate cookie crumbles and perfectly complements the smooth peanut butter filling, while the thick layer of rich melted chocolate ties it all together. Why I love this recipe Just 6 simple ingredients....

Love baking with oat flour? Try my oat flour muffins, oat flour banana bread, and oat flour cookies. Over the past few months, I’ve stopped using wheat-based flours consistently. My family naturally prefers pancakes made with alternative flour, like almond flour pancakes and coconut flour pancakes. The firm favorite, though, is my simple oat flour pancakes. Why I love this recipe 5 Ingredients. Just oat flour, baking soda, eggs, yogurt, and maple syrup....

One of our most beloved of all seasoning blends: Old Bay seasoning! This American seasoning blend has seen a big rise in popularity lately: and for good reason. The flavor is unreal: one taste and you’ll get a big savory punch, followed by intrigue: savory, herby and a hint of heat. Alex and I use Old Bay in so many of our recipes that we wanted to create a homemade version in case you can’t access it....

On the hunt for more paleo recipes? Try my paleo ice cream, paleo chocolate chip cookies, or coconut energy balls next. Finding a good protein bar is hard enough, and don’t even get me started on finding one without refined sugar, artificial flavors, or gluten. That is until you try my paleo protein bars. Made with a shortlist of paleo-approved ingredients, they’re the perfect grain-free, gluten-free bar that’ll keep you full for hours…and they actually taste good!...

Love grapefruit cocktails? Try the Greyhound, Salty Dog Cocktail, Brown Derby, Hemingway Daiquiri, or Sea Breeze. The Paloma is perfect for happy hour, or you can water it down as a brunch drink, too. The salt rim brings out that sweet tart flavor even more! Our spin on the classic drink uses real grapefruit juice, but you can also make it with grapefruit soda. A classic Paloma is just two ingredients: tequila and grapefruit soda....

Got a ripe summer tomato? Here’s quite possibly one of the best ways to use it…in the world. Try Pan Con Tomate, a Spanish tapas recipe with only a few ingredients but immeasurably massive flavor. Take one bite and it’s like ingesting the pure soul of a tomato: all its memories of growing plump in the summer sun. This transcendental summer tomato recipe will make you a quick convert....

Got a bunch of ripe peaches and not sure how to use them? Try Peach Juice! It makes a vibrant, sweet and tangy healthy drink, that you won’t want to put down. Or, you can sweeten it to make peach nectar for use in cocktails. We’ll admit, when we think peaches we first think of peach desserts. But peach juice is a fun and healthy way to use this juicy fruit: it’s like simpler spin on a smoothie....
