Punjabi lobia masala also referred to as chawalie or chawli are rich in nutrients and a good source of fiber. As a kid I was a very picky eater and seeing lobia on my plate made me loose all my appetite. With time your eating habits change and now, lobia is my favorite dish and relish it a lot. Try slow cooker version of Palak Paneer, Punjabi lobia masala, Punjabi kadhi, langarwali dal, onion-tomato masala, Ghee in slow cooker....

For years I never strayed from the recipe — why mess with a good thing? — but recently I’ve been using it as a jumping-off point for sheet pan suppers. This latest version, inspired by spices typically used in shawarma, calls for toasted cumin and coriander seeds, smoked paprika, and cayenne. You can read more about this recipe’s genesis here or find it below. I love these mini naan: 5 from 15 reviews Spices: If you are up for it, toast whole cumin and coriander seeds in a small skillet over medium-high heat until they turn light brown and smell fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes....

… It’s CSA season! We’re actually three weeks in at this point and have, as usual, been enjoying lots of greens, spring onions, turnips, radishes, and herbs. This week, too, the crunchiest, sweetest snap peas arrived, and I immediately thought of this Bon Appetit snap pea salad, which I made last year, but never got around to sharing here. Now’s the time to make it. What’s most interesting to me about this salad is its assembly: You toss slivered snap peas with lemon zest, salt, and olive oil, but no acid....

Flour tortillas can be gummy; corn tortillas often taste like sawdust. The corn-flour hybrids, I think, are the best. A few years ago, I discovered one from Whole Foods, which I loved: it had a soft texture and nice corn flavor. But the formula, as far as I can tell, has changed, and I don’t love it as much. For really good tortillas, flour or corn, it’s best to make them at home....

I found the recipe by googling “best coffee cake ever,” which led me to discover The Pioneer Woman. She’s funny. She described the cake as a complete miracle. How could I resist making a complete miracle? I couldn’t, but I broke one of my rules in the process. Rules, you ask? Yes. You see, I try hard to follow a recipe — a baked goods recipe at least — to the T first time around....

Dry and liquid measurements hold the same volume then why measure differently? Simple.. Dry measuring cups are meant to be filled to the top so that you can shake off the excess and Liquid measuring cups have a spout which is used for pouring hot and liquid stuff. Measuring 1 cup of flour in a dry measuring spoon will be more convenient, simply fill it to the top and easily level off using a knife....

Every summer, when the potatoes start arriving in our CSA, I am blown away by their flavor, by how they need nothing more than olive oil and salt, by how many potatoes we consume as a family each week. When I was at the farmers market last week, I asked the woman at the Barber’s Farm table why the summer potatoes were so good. She responded: “Because they’re fresh!” Makes sense....

Ben and I had a few trips planned this past year, including one to Italy in September. It was going to be a big pizza-eating extravaganza in Rome and Naples, and I was going to take lots of pizza + travel notes.

My children love granola bars — Z-Bars, Clif Bars, Chewy Quaker Oat Bars — and if I’m being honest, I do, too. When we have a box of peanut butter Clif Bars on hand, I have a hard time resisting them. And while there are worse things to snack on, I never feel great buying or eating them. It was time to give making granola bars from scratch another go....
