I’ve been a sorry excuse for a half-Indian woman because I just started making dal for the first time in my many years on this earth. I’ve eaten a lot of dal, but it’s just not something I’ve ever tried to cook until this year.

"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.

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.

It's like kheer that you can eat for dinner.

Indian spiced apple crisp, anyone?

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

This is the best and only paleo cauliflower rice recipe you'll ever need. 

Creamy cauliflower soup gone Indian.

The best raita recipe, raita now.
