Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Mustard Sauce With a sauce made from just cream, mustard and a pinch of tarragon, this is one of those recipes where I actually had to restrain myself from adding more ingredients. I thought, “It just looks too simple.” A ridiculous statement, I know. But if it were me reading this recipe, I would be suspicious. “How can such a simple sauce be as good as this lady says?...

I have shared so many varieties of pulao on the blog. This prawn pulao recipe is adapted from the potato pulao I shared before. Prawn pulao can also be made in one pot. But most times the prawns get over cooked and turn hard or rubbery due to prolonged cooking. So I make this like the tawa pulao. This is one way I make at home which is quick and is more flavorful and delicious than the one pot prawn pulao....

On the summer side, I never want to put away my flip flops. I’m still savoring fresh tomatoes, and I might just cry when the last juicy peach leaves the produce shelves. At the same time, however, I’d be fibbing if I didn’t admit that these Vegan Pumpkin Muffins and this Pumpkin Granola have me craving warm fall flavors. About This Pumpkin Milkshake Every year, I feel guilty rushing fall, because summer feels so short....

My fall baking list always includes something with pumpkin.

They’re the right amount of sweet, aren’t too cakey (one of my biggest pet peeves with most pumpkin cookie recipes), and are made with healthy ingredients....

Indian is one of my very favourite cuisines. In fact, on the rare occasion I order takeout, 9 out of 10 times it’s Indian. I find most of the popular Chinese and Thai takeout dishes pretty easy to make at home. I’ve shared a bunch of them and I’ve even created a little “Asian Takeout At Home” recipe collection so you can find them easily. Indian, on the other hand, requires more effort because some of the key spices used in Indian cooking aren’t readily available at supermarkets so it requires a trip to an Indian grocery store which are not as easily found as Asian stores....

It is getting chilly here in New York City.

It is an absolutely stunning place, with breath taking views and I will make a post to talk just about that for those interested in visiting....
