Halal Guys Chicken Rice Bowl (Copycat Recipe)

August 13, 2018 By Asha Shivakumar

A delicious copycat recipe of the famous NYC Food Cart. This Halal Guys chicken rice bowl is boldly spiced, served with flavorful turmeric rice and spiced yogurt sauce.

Halal Guys is super popular in New York City. As soon as you pass that corner, the aroma becomes so tempting even when you’ve had a big meal. You’ll be in that line, drooling over everyone’s order, and once you finally get your order, you can’t wait to take a bite. The juicy flavorful chicken with a tinge of sourness from the lemon, the perfectly cooked rice, that white sauce that you want to just drink up, and then comes the super spicy harissa kind of hot chili sauce.

The first time we had the chicken rice bowl from Halal Guys was three ago when I visited New York City with my teen. Our main motto for the trip was to eat through the city. We loved it so much that we walked for forty minutes to have it another day of our travel. We generally don’t eat from one place twice during a vacation….

Spicy Yogurt Chicken with Cucumber Mint Chutney

June 28, 2018 By Asha Shivakumar

This Simple Grilled Spicy Yogurt Chicken Recipe has a few ingredients in the marinade that makes it juicy, flavorful and absolutely delicious. It’s the best grilled chicken I’ve made. You’ll make this recipe again and again!

And just like that summer is here. Summers in Cali can be really harsh, but the evenings are like a dream.

People who are not from here love to talk about Mark Twain’s quote that goes “the coldest winter I ever spent was summer in San Francisco.” As September and October roll around, while they get trapped in their homes due to polar vortexes and hurricanes we’re sitting in cotton shorts and T-shirts, hiking and going to the city in a thin sweater. And that right there, that pretty much sums up why Indian summers* in SF are better than all other summers….

Skillet Roast Chicken with Sumac and Lemon

November 28, 2017 By Asha Shivakumar

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….
