All Natural Homemade Food Coloring
Avoid the toxins of conventional food dyes by using natural homemade food coloring you can easily make at home! The U.S. Food and Drug Administration have acknowledged that artificial colors such as Red 40 and Yellow 5, trigger hyperactivity and behavioral problems with some children, yet they still allow it. It doesn’t stop there, each dye, through animal testing, can be linked to different diseases.

Oat Spinach Zucchini Chilla – Hara Bhara Besan Chilla
Cheela or Chilla or Pudlas/Pudas is a savory and tasty pancake made with gram flour (besan), spices and herbs. It is very quick, easy and comfy recipe.

Quinoa Lentil Khichdi – Stew
Quinoa Lentil (daal) Khichdi is one of my favorite to cook often as I don’t need to cook any other sides to go with it. It’s quick One pot recipe that satisfies your hunger, tastebuds and nutrition. This recipe is vegan and gluten free as well and perfect for many other diet restrictions.
My Hummus Love Affair
If you are trying to find healthier ways to continue to eat your (not so healthy) foods, hummus can be your savior. Chickpeas are a good source of dietary fiber and micro nutrients such as copper, manganese, and folate. By blending chickpeas with other ingredients such as garlic and olive oil, you get the wonderful combination of flavor and health called hummus. If desired, you can use other beans variety such as white beans or any of your favorite.
No Oil Curry Making – Black Eyed Peas Curry
Yet it’s in everything and most people can’t even think about cooking without it. You probably guessed that it’s oil. Many people are surprised to learn that it’s easy to cook great food without oil or butter.
