Fool-Proof Khaman Dhokla

Khaman dhokla is a dish I make weekly at home without fail. For those of you who aren’t familiar with this dish it’s basically a savory steamed chickpea flour sponge cake tempered with spices. My whole family loves khaman so much so that I find myself having to make 6+ trays of them every time we have a family dinner or get together.  In fact, every single time I visit my mom I make a whole batch because she absolutely loves my khaman and my mother is no easy critic to please! It’s super easy to make and the recipe I have come up with is practically fool-proof! You can even make it in the microwave to save time and clean up. Do try it and let me know what you think!

Tandoori Chicken Tzatziki Pita Pockets

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 when those hunger pangs hit. I find that the Tandoori Chicken and Tzatziki complement each other very well, the cucumber and onion garnish gives the dish a welcome freshness and sumac closes the dish out with a much-needed zing! Fusion food is amazing when it works so well together, just like Indian Chinese and in this case Indian Greek. I hope you guys enjoy it!
