I must confess, I made this dish at the end of summer just as the leaves began to turn when the last tomatoes of the season were ripening on the vines. I would not recommend using tomatoes in this dish in the winter, but it is still delicious. I used besan flour (chickpea flour) as… Continue reading Beetroot Besan Sautéed Vegetables
Lentil soup is a favorite of my mother’s, and this season is the perfect time to make yourself a serving to enjoy with family. The spices are calming to the mind, and the added sweet potato (which can be substituted for any potato) gives you heartiness to fill you and keep you warm for hours.… Continue reading Stovetop Lentil Soup
As mentioned previously, I am fully embracing savory porridge this season. It is a warm, hearty breakfast with a good dose of vegetables in the morning to set the day off well. I feel incredible after savory porridge, and I am ready to work by the time I sit down at my desk. Life will… Continue reading Sunshine Beetroot Savory Porridge
In the summer where I am, the corn is abundant and deliciously sweet. I indulge in buying ears of it and enjoying the fresh, milky crunch of the kernels. This dish is a mash-up of a favorite of mine (masala tofu scramble) with added ingredients that compliment the corn and make it the centerpiece of… Continue reading Masala Elote Tofu Scramble
Alright y’all. Sweet oatmeal is out. Savory porridge is in. Without the oats, this is a lovely, aromatic, brothy soup. With the oats, it is a substantial meal that will keep you satisfied and light as you go through your day. I am not sure I will ever add fruit to my oatmeal again. Ingredients… Continue reading Chinese Five Spice Savory Porridge
This meal is my go-to when I do not have time or am low on vegetables at the end of the week. Ayurvedic tradition holds Kitchari as a soup perfect for cleansing. It is easily digestible, and it is nourishing enough to not leave one hungry during a detox. Other recipes use mung dal instead… Continue reading Kitchari
This is my take on the famed tofu scramble. The recipe is very much a baseline for other flavors. For example, the dish can easily be turned into a masala scramble by adding spice blends and a bit of nut milk. That has been a favorite of mine lately. Try it. Test it. Tell me… Continue reading Tofu Scramble
Hello, all. This post is a bit different. It is not a recipe because the elements of this dish are already posted on this page. I just wanted to immortalize the meal that has nourished me for months now and will remain a staple in my diet once the weather turns cold again. Also, I… Continue reading My Favorite Dish All Winter
Aloo gobi is a dish from Northern India but popular throughout the country as well as neighboring countries like Nepal, Bengal, and Pakistan (this is all from Wikipedia and included as a brief synopsis of the origins of the dish). I had a couple recipe tests with this one and have finally come to a… Continue reading Aloo Gobi
I am still holding onto the last bits of winter! I love the sun coming out, but it is still cold enough for soup. I love squash and every spring I lament that I did not eat enough in winter. The red lentils add a bit of robustness to the dish, and it is a… Continue reading Curried Butternut Squash Red Lentil Soup
