"This is you, in a recipe!"

That's what my friend Lauren said when I told her about this idea to infuse the most old-school Minnesotan of recipes (hotdish, i.e. casserole) with Indian flavors. And she's right.

It me.

Chicken soup for the bowl.

Comfort food, Indian-style.

Kerala Fried Chicken, inspired by Asha Gomez and the fried chicken episode of Ugly Delicious—well-worth the terror that is deep-frying at home!

Okra never interested me much until recently after I made this paleo okra curry.

The best paleo Thanksgiving dinner starts with this stuffing recipe.

This summer-meets-fall zucchini soup recipe was a sort of annoyingly delicious accident.

Keema is one of my favorite foods. Soon to be one of yours.

Calm down, people. I've only made the most amazing roast beast in the history of my kitchen slash all the other kitchens in my neighborhood and the universe AT LEAST. 

Simple as it is, aloo fry is one of the best Indian dishes. 

This squash soup tastes like soup season.
