This is a great vegetarian recipe that is very popular in South Asian cooking. This version is very easy because I have preboiled the lentils. Onions, tomatoes, green chili, garlic/ginger are sautéed in oil with plenty of spices. It’s finished off with fresh cilantro, garam masala and squeeze of lemon.

Lasagna may seem like a complicated dish, though it does have few steps but it’s very easy to make. The delicious flavors are from layers of simmered meat sauce, creamy ricotta cheese mixture, Lasagna noodles with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Once you make this and realize how easy it is I am sure it will be a staple in your meal planning.
It’s also great for feeding a crowd, and since it’s such a hearty meal you can just serve it with a side of garlic bread and salad. Since it makes a ton you can also freeze this Lasagna. Watch full detailed video below.

Chicken Biryani is a very popular dish when it comes to South Asian food. Usually this dish can be only associated with South Asian cuisine, but it’s actually traced back to Persia. It’s made with different preparations and ingredients across the Asian continent. This is the go-to dish for my family or any dinner party that I host.
The chicken and the rice are cooked separately than layered to make a one-pot deliciousness. My take on this recipe is easy but not compromising flavor. I like to use readily available spices and ingredients so you can enjoy this lavish meal often.

Summer is not complete unless you have had funnel cakes at least once. Funnel cakes may seem like it’s a treat only to be enjoyed at fairs/carnivals, theme parks or board walks at the beach. But they are actually so easy to make that you can enjoy these fluffy, sugar dusted fried cakes anytime you please.

One of my favorite things to cook for my family is breakfast/brunch! There is such a comforting feeling waking up on a Saturday morning while the kids are still asleep and getting started in my kitchen. As they wake up and come downstairs they smell their favorite breakfast/brunch foods, and nothing makes me happier than these memories we are creating. We leave Saturday mornings for lounging around and resting from the week. Home made French Toast is a favorite breakfast/brunch item that starts our day with love.
