Suva ni bhaji is a vegetable that is cooked with dill leaves in a lot of Gujarati households. Now most folks don’t like it, dill has a distinct, strong flavor. So instead of the traditional method, I took inspiration from the Lebanese dish - Batata Harra (Spicy Potatoes), and combined it with crispy roasted potatoes.

I love a protein-packed one pot meal loaded with greens. Especially, when it's made with ultra nutritious moringa. There is a reason why moringa tree is call a ‘miracle tree’. The leaves are rich in antioxidants, in a whole slew of vitamins and minerals, fight inflammation, lower sugar and cholesterol.

Amaranth grains or rajgira is full of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and all nine essential amino acids. It has become a GF staple in our household. The porridge is a warm and nourishing breakfast that prepares itself with occasional supervision while I empty the dishwasher and complete other small morning chores.

Using adai as my inspiration, I made an extremely protein-packed version with lentils and quinoa, and to make them even more fun, turned them into savory waffles. They are an excellent hot & filling breakfast, perfect for a weekend, and best enjoyed with spicy coconut chutney!

Magaz is made with besan/chickpea gram flour, ghee, sugar and cardamom for flavoring and topped with a generous amount of slivered almonds. I added dry ginger powder to add extra warmth to the fudge (and your body!) The best replacement I have done is use monkfruit sweetener instead of sugar, making it a truly healthy dessert.

Smashed Potatoes with Mixed Seeds Tadka is a highly addictive snack or a side for your dinner gathering. They are great accompaniments with tea as well! The smashed potatoes are inspired by a dry potato sabji commonly eaten in Gujarati and Maharashtrian households - sukhi bhaaji.

One of the most forgiving and unfussy bake is a crumble. Super adaptable to the fruit you have at hand. Rhubarb crumble is quick to assemble and gluten free! The sweet-tart rhubarb flavors are paired with vegan cardamom ice cream. Even if you aren’t lactose intolerant or vegan, the vegan cardamom ice cream made using coconut cream is delightful! It’s deemed to be a household hit.
