Some days you just need an unapologetically easy meal, and for those days I rely on good quality store-bought ingredients to expedite getting meals on the table.

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.

A southern favorite and a ton of desi nostalgia, joined with subtle, citrusy flavor makes one killer snack! If you fancy a healthy snack or a memory trip to those after-school snacks, you have come to the right place.

In Ayurveda, dates and ghee are considered rich in Ojas. Using this as my inspiration, I came up with a delicious snack/dessert which combines the goodness of dates and ghee, and elevates it with a stuffing of ricotta and dried apricots. Warming the dates in ghee is an excellent touch - makes the dates soft and chewy, and who doesn't like a warm dessert!

Pretty, total yummers, and comes together quickly - really great for those last minute appetizer ideas and an eye candy addition to your Diwali potluck/party! Works great for Thanksgiving apps or any holiday menu 😊

Chevdo is a crispy, addictive savory snack made of poha aka beaten/flattened rice flakes and other yummy bits. The Chevdo made for Diwali has poha fried in oil, and even when it is roasted, the amount oil is considerable. Now yes, thats how it's made and maybe thats how grandma made it. But we don't have the same lifestyle as grandma, so it doesn't make sense to eat everything the same way. Sure, there are some things that are better pristine, but a lot can reimagined in our modern context and updated lifestyles. Don't you agree?
