I love Indian food in a head over heels, madly, deeply, crazy, crushin’, love bug sorta way. I’m smitten. And there is no sign of it dissipating. But man, good luck finding Indian recipes that are ghee-free, dairy-free and oil-reduced. It’s like searching for a needle in a haystack!

South Indian Rice with Lentils (Bisi Bele Bhath)

One-pot meals are the bee’s knees, wouldn’t you agree? The prep time is minimal, ingredients are simple, your kitchen doesn’t get all messy, and dinner is ready in under an hour. I like that.

Exotic Spiced Lentil and Tomato Soup

Exotic Spiced Lentil and Tomato Soup

Soup isn’t a popular meal at our house. I love it, Kevin loves it, but we both love different kinds. Kevin’s idea of a good soup is broth + MEAT. My idea of a good soup is vegetables, meats, lentils, and spices. Kevin wont have anything to do with eating the soup that I like…
