Cilantro Chronicles
So if you know me, you know that I really do NOT like chicken nuggets. I don’t really know what it is, but I have never like them. But as I’ve grown older (or wiser), I have realized that chicken nuggets are really the best meal for kids. I always told myself that when my […]
Growing up, I never understood why kids on TV always hated spinach because I LOVED it and so did my cousins and a lot of the other Indian kids I knew. Turns out, Hyderabadis, make this dish called Paalak gosht and its THE BEST. So think of this as the best way to get your […]
A few years ago, my cousin was coming over and sent me a recipe and said, “Nuni, can you make this for me?” I did and the rest is history. I’ve made this several times since then and every time, it’s a hit. So, everyone who knows my cooking style knows I hate to read […]
This is such an easy and delicious recipe. Have someone drop by and you need to whip something together quick? Or in a time crunch but want something DELICIOUS? This. Is. It. In all honesty, I was doing really well on my diet. I had made it several days without cheating. I’m not even a […]
I’m not going to lie-this isn’t exactly my own recipe! It’s something I adapted from my husband’s recipe. So for anyone that knows me, you know that I don’t really listen to recipes or follow them.

Another super easy weeknight meal. This is Keto friendly to the max! My husband started keto before I did and this was a weekly staple. It got to the point, where I would beg him to tell me something different to make each week. You can eat this recipe with naan, rice, quinoa, cous cous, […]
Kheema is minced or ground meat-it can be beef, lamb, chicken or turkey. Kheema is one of the most versatile meats. Kheema is used in every cuisine and across the world. I use this recipe for several kheema dishes (listed below) but I have like a million different versions of kheema recipes! This recipe is […]
Meal prep has always been so complicated to me. I want to prep for the week to make my life easier, I want fresh food everyday and I also don’t want to eat the same thing everyday. So I thought long and hard and would plan to make proteins that I can use in different […]
I told you guys how I just like to throw things together, right? Well, this is for sure one of those recipes. My husband and I are doing Keto and today I just wanted something healthy, fresh and flavorful after a crazy weekend of eating meat! This was the perfect recipe! It was delicious, easy […]
