Black Eyed Pea Salad

July 22, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

Cumin, Coriander and Balti Curry season this delicious vegetarian black-eyed pea salad. The peas can be substituted with another legume if desired, and the amounts of vegetables and dressing ingredients can always be altered to personal preference. Enjoy this healthy salad with buttered crusty sourdough, or as a wrap. It’s wonderful served over baked potatoes or stuffed into pita pockets, too.

Tamarind-Ginger Grilled Chicken Thighs

July 17, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

Tangy and slightly sweet, these finger-licking chicken thighs are so easy you’ll go back to them time and again. For the marinade, we’ve used A Date with Tamarind Chutney for a little sweetness, but feel to use straight tamarind paste if you prefer a stronger tart flavor. The tamarind-ginger marinade is also great with tofu, summer squash, onions, peppers, and sweet potato.

Mung Dal Buckwheat Kitchari

January 9, 2024 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 1 Comment

This simple, nourishing recipe is a different take on an old classic. We made it in our pressure cooker, however you can easily make it on a stove top. Despite the name, buckwheat is not related to wheat. It’s a gluten-free starchy seed that is used like a grain. According to Ayurveda, buckwheat can be enjoyed by each dosha, however, its light, nourishing qualities make it especially good for kapha dosha. This recipe serves 2 people. Be sure to add any additions desired, and remember – kitchari is supposed to be porridge-like in consistency, however you can add less water if you would like it to be thicker.

Indian-Spiced Chicken with Cashew Nuts

Here’s a simple, aromatic and delicious recipe you’ll return to often. Feel free to experiment with different kinds of protein, including shrimp, tofu and legumes such as garbanzo beans or lentils.

Double Curry Dal with BEST HING EVER

May 26, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 1 Comment

We call this “double curry” because we use both DIY Balti Curry and Madras Curry (or Keto-In-A-Hurry) simmering sauce. This is a simple, delicious, nourishing meal that pairs perfectly with freshly cooked basmati rice, quinoa, or warm roti/chapati or naan bread, or any favorite crusty sourdough or whole grain bread.
