Two Weeks of Takeout or Dinnerly?
Disclaimer: I was provided two weeks worth of meal boxes from Dinnerly for this comparison. All opinions are solely mine. Hey guys! As most of you know that after having kids, life gets super hectic. Sometimes I struggle to put a wholesome meal on the table for my family because either I am too tired or let’s face it after a long day taking care of a hyper toddler I get plain lazy. My family and I end up turning to takeout more often than we should. Each order adds up money wise and adds to our waistlines! Recently I had the pleasure of trying Dinnerly– A subscription box…

Sweet and Spicy Gujarati Kadhi
Kadhi can be compared to a creamy, tangy, and spicy soup if you will. I have always looked at kadhi as comfort food. In India Kadhi comes in many variations, Punjabi Kadhi has Pakora(dumplings) in it and Sindhi Kadhi is sort of similar to Sambhar or Dal. I remember the first time I had Punjabi Kadhi, I found it quite weird that there was “bhaajiya”(pakora) in my Kadhi. I have since fallen in love with my husband’s Punjabi Kadhi, although the recipe below will always be my first choice compared to any other kadhi EVER! This particular recipe is for Gujarati Kadhi, just like my mama makes! In my…

Authentic Punjabi Chole
I grew up eating amazing Gujarati food cooked by my mother. It was only until I was older that I was introduced to Punjabi food and that was usually at a restaurant. Punjabi food has literally taken over almost every single Indian restaurant menu! I married into a Punjabi family and needless to say the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Oh and not having to go out to a restaurant to eat it is a major plus. Did you know that real authentic chole will always be a dark color as opposed to a red tinged curry? Look out for the imposters! Thus far I have posted recipes for…

Tandoori Chicken Tzatziki Pita Pockets
These Tandoori Chicken Tzatziki Pita Pockets are perfect for a quick weeknight meal or even lunch. I often whip these up ahead of time and assemble them at the last minute when I’m in a hurry. The Tzatziki will stay fresh in the fridge (in an airtight sealed container) for upwards of one week although in my house it’s usually gone in a few days. Grill a batch of the tandoori chicken a few days ahead, and it can re-purposed for other dishes as well as this one. Make-ahead dishes are my favorite, time is very precious and unpredictable due to the baby, therefore make-ahead meals are definitely a lifesaver…
