🥕 Comment “GRANOLA” and I’ll send you the recipe! I gave gajar ka halwa a healthy twist with granola! Gajar ka halwa is a Indian dessert made by cooking grated carrots down in ghee and sugar until they’re tender and spicing it with cardamom! It’s a such a simple and comforting dessert and as much as we’d like to *think* it’s super “ healthy”, I thought it could be better! This granola hits all the right notes - crunchy, slightly sweet with tons of nuts and a hint of cardamom! It’s super easy to make - just toss everything in a bowl, add your sweetener and bake! If you haven’t made your own granola before - you should definitely give it a try! #milkandcardamom #granola, easy breakfast, Indian fusion

🧈 What’s better than butter? Makhan! Aka cultured butter! It’s way more flavorful and is my butter of choice when I’m craving butter and bread! Makhan is usually made with buffalo milk, but I opted for a high-quality Jersey cow heavy cream which is easier to find! It’s so simple, you just inoculate heavy cream with yogurt bacteria and then churn it! When I was younger, my mom would smother my morning bhakri (whole wheat flatbread) with Makhan and fold it in half like a butter taco with some chai, and I was in heaven! What’s your favorite way to enjoy makhan?! P.S. You also get fresh buttermilk with this recipe, which you can use to make biscuits, kadhi, chaas, or pancakes. Comment “MAKHAN” and I’ll send you the recipe!

Paad Pill Dill Pickles aka PPDPs loading…. 😂 I have a good feeling about this one lol 😂 decided to actually go ahead and try my unhinged pickle idea and make the Hawaban Harde pickles -Hawaban Harde or what I like to call them, paad (fart) pills, are pellets of Ayurvedic ingredients that help with gassiness and digestion! I grew up eating them after meals and they have a salty sour taste! It’s definitely an acquired taste but my family loves them! They reminded me of pickle brine after trying Super Duper Burger pickles so I decided why not mash them up? I’ll share how the experiments turns out soon! 😂 who knows it might actually be good!

🍦 From meeting @pooja_bavishi_ at the Fancy Food Show years ago to finally baking together in the kitchen—it’s been such a full-circle moment 🧡 We’ve collaborated before, but this was our first time side by side, making these Orange Cardamom Mini Muffins from her gorgeous cookbook Malai—and let me tell you, they’re little bites of sunshine. Bright orange zest, warm cardamom, soft fluffy texture… I’m obsessed! Pooja has been such an inspiration, blending her Indian and American roots into desserts that are bold, nostalgic, and full of heart. You can taste that same love in her ice cream shops @malai_icecream (Brooklyn, DC, Philly fam—go!!) Comment “MALAI” and I’ll send you a link to buy her cookbook! And make these muffins. Like, today. ✨

🇵🇫 🏝️ Just spent the last week soaking in the sun in Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea in French Polynesia! Rhut found Ana amazing deal for RT tickets on a direct flight from SF (which was only 8 hrs btw!) and we pounced on it! We stayed on Moorea at @sofitelmoorea for 3 days where I found a family deal where you book one room and get the 2nd 50% off! In Bora Bora we booked a private catamaran where our skipper took us to all the best snorkeling spots. Elara loved swimming with eagle rays, sharks, tons of colorful fish, and so much more! I loved seeing how excited she got with every animal she saw! We also spent 2 days in Tahiti where we enjoyed all the views and French food! (I will be bringing home some French butter, cheeses and skincare!) I know most people think of French Polynesia as a honeymoon spot but I gotta say, it’s pretty amazing for families too! If you have any questions about my trip- leave them on the comments!
