Aloo ki Bhujia (Potato Curry)

Aloo ki Bhujia (Potato Curry)

I just came back from a glorious (but short) trip to Lahore, where I didn’t move a muscle unless it was to eat. I visited close family and got all my favorite foods made at home, and one of those said favorite foods is this Aloo ki Bhujia. It is such a simple dish, but if made right it can hold so much flavor. In fact, this potato curry is so delicious and flavorful that it can be served alongside Halwa Puri. All in all, it’s a great vegan and gluten free meal that the whole family will enjoy, and it comes together in less than 30 minutes!

Afghani roht(sweet bread)

This recipe is so special! It’s a friend’s family recipes, and you all know how much I cherish family recipes. I love exploring cuisines, and recently realized I don’t know much about Afghani food.

Chicken Chili Dry

Chicken Chili Dry

Chicken Chili Dry is one of the most popular Chinese dishes for a reason. It’s dry, as the name suggests, but packs so much flavor. Each piece of chicken is coated in a thin crispy layer that absorbs all the flavored oil its pan fried in. I’m a garlic lover though and through, but the ginger in this Chicken Chili Dry is phenomenal. As always, this recipe is easy, quick and full of flavor. I always make double batch of this because I eat half of it while I’m getting ready to serve it.

Chicken Chilli Dry

…The ginger lends a hand in adding so much flavor in this dish, that you won’t need to douse your chicken in a salty sauce to achieve depth of flavor. Im a garlic lover through and through, but I’ve always known deep down that ginger is a true flavor hero, for savory and sweet. So here it is, my super simple (that’s always given here) flavor packed recipe for chicken chilli dry, and I’m breaking from the norm here and posting the recipe in a larger quantity, because this flies fast. It’ll be gone before you go for seconds, and we can’t have that…
