  • My Secret Dream to be a Sandwich Artist – Aloo Gobi Naanini

    R and I don’t usually don’t have time to really cook dinner on weeknights b/c we get home so late, so on nights like tonight, we rely on heating up leftovers.  I had gotten a little tired of the rice and aloo combo, so I decided to turn my leftover aloo gobi sabji into a […]

  • Eggplant in Peanut Sauce

    After much raving about cooking blogs and swapping recipes with family and friends, I’ve decided to start my own cooking blog to share the vegetarian recipes that I test out in our kitchen. R has graciously agreed to support my blog by volunteering to eat anything that I make.  How kind. You’ll mostly find vegetarian, Indian recipes in my cooking […]
