Papri Chaat

Papri Chaat

Papri Chaat is the king of chaats. Just the sight of it makes me happy. And honestly, what's not to love? Chickpeas and potatoes are drenched in spicy chutneys and a cooling yogurt sauce. Everything is topped with freshly ground cumin and crunchy papad(papar?). I'm a purist when it comes to papri chaat. If you follow a few simple steps you can get amazing papri chaat at home. In fact, it's better than takeout. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered papri chaat from Indian/ Pakistani restaurants only to be disappointed. I've added some recipes notes to get you the perfect results every time.

Best Hummus

Best Hummus

I take my hummus very seriously. I may be a Pakistani but I grew up in Michigan, surrounded by delicious and authentic Mediteranean food. I can spot a fake and lumpy hummus full of unwelcome ingredients from a mile away. I keep mine simple, to the point, and delicious, as it should be. It's beautifully balanced with nutty notes from the tahini, a fresh zing from the lemon juice and a subtle bitterness from the olive oil and garlic. You take one bite and you know you're eating the real thing.
