This easy stir fry tofu peppers is a healthy balanced meal. Eat it on some noodles, or wrap it in lettuce! A good gluten-free and healthy vegetarian meal.
I remember the first time I tried tofu. It was in a soup, and it felt slimy… too soft and quite bland. I unfortunately couldn’t be trendy and like it. Then again, I’m a little picky with trying different foods, and it has to be really good for me to like it. However, I never waste; I will always eat it up. It took me the longest to fall in love with tofu. Only a few years ago, I figured out the secret to perfect tofu before stir-frying….

Skillet Roasted Chicken Breast with sumac and lemon. It’s good, easy, healthy lunch or dinner and comes together so quickly.
This is so so good!!!!!
This skillet roast chicken with sumac and lemons, I love to serve over some plain rice or coconut milk rice and it’s a nice meal in one. Add some grilled beans or asparagus and even better. The sumac itself has a very lemony undertone and the fresh lemon juice just adds to the flavor. Sumac in itself is not spicy, so I like to add a good dose of chili powder or cayenne pepper. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
I’m always on a quest for simple and easy meals that’s packed with flavor….
This is a healthy and flavorful chutney from the region of Mangalore, Karnataka. This cucumber/southekkai chutney is tasty mixed with rice, with chapathi or dosa.
That night, after a long work day, Mom comes home tired and sits down for a cup of coffee. After a quick little chat, she goes to make dinner, which is ready in less than thirty minutes. She made this chutney and chapathis. We all sit down on our mats to eat our dinner while Doordarshan (the TV program) is running in the background. Mom and I look at each other, and she gives me a sneaky look. “It’s just coconut chutney with lots of coriander,” she says even without me asking anything….

Have you ever wondered how we or the food subconsciously transitions from season to season, quite smoothly?
I woke up on this very gloomy, slightly chilly day determined to make these potato stacks….
But before anything, I had to take my darling Waffles for his leisurely morning stroll. We hiked up the mountain just to see a cast of fog engulfing the huge red building behind, almost like a blanket. He looked around, quite peacefully deciding if he wanted to chase a cow or stay beside me. Its one of those days he peacefully walked and sniffed as I was in my own thoughts.

This healthy, vegan vegetarian curry will make you want to have vegetarian meals more often. Beetroot peas kurma is a weeknight curry at home, it is easy to make and packed with flavor.
Growing up, I always saw Mom making this dish during weekdays. It was served with chapathis/tortillas all the time. The very interesting thing was, they tasted the same every time she made them. Now, it makes me wonder how she did it. No recipe, just add this and add that. Our lunches were full course meals, most of the time. Weekday dinners were usually a simple roti with a vegetarian side.
