This recipe is quite similar to my apple turnovers and strawberry pop tarts, only differently shaped....

Healthy Boiled Peanut Salad Boiled Peanut Chaat

Inspiration for Boiled Peanut Salad: Beaches, B*tches! India is surrounded by the ocean and has GORGEOUS beaches. Unfortunately, a lot of these beaches aren’t fit for swimming in them.

She simmers the whole gooseberry in the sugar syrup and let it rest....

Mango Rice Raw Mango Rice Mavinakayi Chitranna

We call raw mango rice in Telugu as mamidikaya pulihora and in Kannada as mavinakayi chitranna. And I won’t call mine as the authentic Telugu or the Kannada version, but it’s a mix of both....
