Shrimp & Coconut Curry
For me, cooking is a whole ritualistic thing. It involves certain music (often accompanied by dancing in the kitchen) and usually does not have a time restriction. If given the chance, I will turn a 10-minute meal into a 30-minute meal because I just want to be doing this singing, dancing, ritual thing a little longer. That being said, when push comes to shove (and I have no leftovers in the fridge), I appreciate things that can be made quickly. For those of you who don't kno

Cumin Cauliflower & Lemony Yogurt
In my world, January is often a month of limited sunshine, longer days and post-holiday blues. My lunches often become vegetable soup on repeat and my dinners can become just as uninspired. Don't get me wrong, the soup is delicious (and I will post the recipe soon), but sometimes it is nice to have a little variety. Featuring some of my favourite spices, turmeric and cumin, it brightens up any table, whether entertaining or replacing your side salad. If you do decide to enter

Kale & Chickpea Curry
Here are some of the reasons I have been making this a lot lately: Its cold outside and this is warm. It is a perfect thing to cook for my vegetarian friends. It has your vegetables, starch and protein all in one pot. Fibre, fibre, fibre (to keep you full longer) The first few times I made it, I ate it before I took any photos (whoops!) Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Difficulty: Easy Serves 2-3 (if using it as the main dish, but it also works well as a side) INGRE

Egg Biriyani
Hello Fall! I am loving the fact we are still getting amazing weather, but the evenings are definitely starting to feel more crisp (which also gets me excited). This biriyani recipe is a quick fix for days where you want something a bit more exciting for dinner. Biriyani tends to be a celebratory meal in Indian households, but when its this easy (and still healthy) I can't resist celebrating, even if the celebration is that it is Tuesday. Serve with rice (the more traditional

Minced Turkey and Spinach Curry
Its March and Calgary's winter game is still as strong as ever. Keep the variety in your cold-weather recipes and try this turkey and spinach curry. It's healthy. It's easy to make (even after a day at the office). Better yet, it's great for batch cooking so you won't have waste time worrying about what's for dinner tomorrow. Helpful Hints: You can easily substitute the turkey for minced chicken or beef depending on your preference Try serving it with a salad of cucumber, tom

Chicken Curry
I am so excited to be putting up an Indian dish, mainly because 1) I am Indian and 2) I get to show you that Indian food doesn't have to be an unhealthy indulgence. Also, its EASY. Like, first-year-university-student-needing-a-home-food-fix-because-she-is-really-homesick easy. It's even easier if you have stocked your pantries well (see Pantry Essentials). Enjoy it with roti, rice or cauliflower rice (pictured above). The curry tastes great on its own, but you can try adding
