Tender chunks of beef are slow-roasted with aromatic spices, coconut pieces (thenga kothu) and curry leaves to make this classic Kerala style beef fry. My son who is super picky about several Indian foods (mostly because he doesn’t like the way curry sticks to his fingers) goes absolutely bonkers when beef ularthiyathu is on the…
Chicken, Mushroom & Sausage Chimichurri Pasta
A delicious and easy weeknight pasta recipe with chicken, mushrooms and juicy sausage tossed in a bright and tangy chimichurri sauce. I don’t know about you, but pasta is the quickest and easiest comfort food there is. Unlike soups, casseroles, warm curries and such, a pasta dish is as easy as ‘boil, saute, toss and…
Mutton Chukka Varuval {South Indian Mutton Fry}
This pan-roasted mutton fry is made by cooking tender goat meat in caramelized onions, ginger, garlic and other spices. The meat is done when it is dark, spicy and falls off the bone. Pairs great with rice dishes and flat-breads alike or as a side with cocktails. It is probably not the best thing for…
Spicy Mutton Curry {Rajasthani Laal Maas}
There are some days when a spicy curry seems absolutely essential to a good meal. Mutton or goat is the preferred meat of choice throughout India and depending on the region, there are many signature dishes. One such recipe comes from Rajasthan, the land of deserts, palaces, mystique and spicy food. As the name signifies,…
Thai Beef & Basil Stir Fry
The weather has cooled down considerably and this means it is time for lazy comfort foods. While the norm may be to turn to soups and stews, sometimes I prefer a no-fuss stir fry. Nothing beats tossing a few choice ingredients into a heated pan and ending up with dinner in under 15 minutes or…

The chimichurri sauce literally goes with anything. Chicken, beef, seafood, vegetables – check, check, check and check. Bring on the chimichurri! Chimichurri is made with fresh flat leaf…
Guac And Roll Burger {Guacamole Cheeseburger For H-E-B #PrimoPicks}
Nothing, and I mean nothing, satisfies when the burger craving hits you. And when it’s summer in Texas, you better fire up your grill (or grill pan at least!) for some juicy, homemade burgers. Homemade burgers may sound intimidating, but they are so easy. Just make sure you have the right tools and ingredients and…
Keema Cutlets {Indian Minced Meat Croquettes}
This week, I find myself in a peculiar sort of predicament. Whenever I sit down to draft a post, I find that I am at a loss for words. If you know me personally, you will find it weird, impossible even. I am rarely at a loss for words. But right now, I am coming…
Mutton Biryani {Tamil Nadu Style}
I have a delicious dum biryani recipe on the blog, made by layering cooked rice and meat masala, and then slowly steaming it to meld the flavors together. In certain regions, biryani is prepared by cooking the rice, meat and various spices and herbs together, creating a richer, more colorful and spicier version. This process…
Steak & Roasted Vegetable Fajitas With Peach Salsa
I love Tex-Mex cuicine. There is something about flavorful food wrapped into warm tortillas that gets me every time. Every bite of a well-made taco bursts with flavor. We eat tacos at home all the time, sometimes filling them with ridiculous ingredients that is nothing like the traditional stuff. But I’ve never made fajita style…
