Korean rice cake soup that’s traditionally eaten on Seollal, the Korean new year. It lands on the first day of the Lunar calendar and it usually coincides with the Chinese new year. I never tried it or heard of it until Moudi introduced me to it. We came across this recipe on maangchi.com while we were…

Easy Instapot Haleem
This is by far one of my favorite recipes ever. There’s something comforting about a hearty bowl of haleem. If you’ve never had it…you’re missing out! Growing up my mom would only make this for Eid ul Fitr (a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan). So I’ve always associated it with a special…
Chicken Mulligatawny Noodle Soup
This is absolutely delicious! Like seriously holy grail, both me and Moudi had two servings each and I may or may not have snuck in a few more bites when I was supposed to be packing it away for the fridge. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Now I usually don’t like leftovers because I love cooking new things everyday but…
Parathay wale aloo
This is one of my favorite ways to cool potatoes. This sauce potato recipe is super delicious especially eaten with a hot warm flaky paratha. It’s a staple breakfast item eaten alongside some eggs and parathas and sometimes even achar (picked carrots or mangoes are my favorites) It’s super fast and easy to make and…
Karahi Chicken
I’ve adapted this recipe from my mom and made it even better! Moudi and I love our karahi chicken more on the saucy side so if you want it on the drier more BBQ style version of karahi then you can totally omit the water or add in a super small amount. This is super…
Choley Papri
With Ramadan coming up these choley papri cups are super easy and fast to make and not to mention amazingly delicious! And if you pour them into individual little cups they are sure to make everything look super fancy and cute! I upgraded my moms recipe and added a few things like pomegranates to bring…
Salmon Sliders
These delicious salmon sliders are a perfect way to use up leftover salmon. I had bought this Sea Cuisine Asian Grill Rubbed Salmon from Sprouts and had about 6 oz leftover and I wanted a fun way to eat leftovers and lo and behold this was the result! I adapted this recipe from the blog…
Korean BBQ
One of our favorite dinner ideas to make is Korean BBQ at home. I put everything on this large lazy Susan with all the accompaniments and it’s super fun and delicious to eat. I love adding a side of mixed glazed vegetables, some fried rice, these super yummy potatoes called gamja-bokkeum, fresh lettuce cups and…
Holy grail fried rice
I’ve tried so many fried rice recipes and this one takes the cake. It’s super flavorful and easy to make and the best part? Is that you can add as much veggies and eggs as you want. It’s totally customizable. I adapted this recipe from Gimme Some Oven and her tip on using butter instead…
Aloo Baigun (Potatoes & Eggplant)
This is one of my absolute favorite vegetarian dishes. It’s so full of flavor and packed with yummy goodness. I’ve always loved it so much and now it’s officially up on the blog so you guys can try it out as well! There’s tender potatoes and succulent eggplant in this tomato oniony curry sauce. It’s…
