Savory Tomato Soup with Ghee and Spices

August 14, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

Pair this wonderful soup with a salad topped with a favorite cheese, and warm naan, crusty bread, or a scoop of steamed rice for a heartier meal. This will serve 3-4 people.

Grilled Curry Burgers with Mango Raisin Chutney

August 12, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

Tender juicy curry burgers! We’ve opted for ground beef, but turkey and lamb are good, too! The yogurt helps keeps the burgers moist, and the the mango raisin chutney really adds to the unique flavors! There’s no need for a bun if you’re grain-free; these are great on their own, or “sandwiched” between lettuce leaves. Enjoy with a leafy green garden salad or a side of favorite slaw. Makes 4 burgers.

Green Bean and Tomato Bhaji

July 29, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

Pair these wonderful green beans with a cooling raita or plain yogurt; serve hot with favorite bread/roti, paratha, or steamed basmati rice with protein of choice – legumes/daal, tofu, chicken, beef, etc.

Dal Makhani

July 25, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

This wonderful Dal Makhani is rich, creamy, and packed with North Indian flavor. It’s a slow-cooked dish that tastes even better the next day! Enjoy with naan, tandoori roti or rice. It’s a perfect treat for friends and family.

Chana Samosa Chaat

May 16, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

Also known as Chole Samosa Chaat, this popular North Indian street-food is an mouth-watering conglomeration of layers of crispy samosas, savory chickpea curry, and various chutneys, toppings, and seasonings. It can be enjoyed as a meal or a snack. There is no set recipe, so you can get as creative as you like. Although there are a lot of spices added, it’s not at all complicated, and it’s delicious with hot naan bread.

South Indian Summer Sambar

July 23, 2024 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 1 Comment

Sambar is a delicious, super-flavorful South Indian lentil soup made with vegetables and seasonings. It’s typically served with idlis, rice or dosas. There is no one way to make sambar, so feel free to experiment with your choice of veggies, lentils and seasonings. We are keeping it seasonal for summer with zucchini and tomato.

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.

Kick-Spiced Mini Turkey Muffins

February 3, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

These little meat muffins make a great snack or meal if you’re watching your carbs. Kick Ketchup can be mixed in equal proportions with regular organic ketchup or tomato paste to reduce spiciness. We used dark turkey, however, if using breast meat, adding 1/2 Tbsp olive or almond oil to the recipe makes for a juicier result. For standard muffin tins, the yield is roughly 10-12 depending on optional ingredients added. These freeze well.

Saffron-Curry Roast Chicken

November 19, 2021 by Pure Indian Foods 1 Comment

This is a simple, flavorful recipe for roast chicken – an age-old comfort food. Feel free to play around with the amount of saffron, curry, ghee and seasonings you use. If you like it hot, a dash of cayenne added to the mix will do nicely. The pan juices make wonderful gravy and the chicken carcass makes delicious bone broth!

Saffron Fish Soup

March 4, 2021 by Pure Indian Foods Leave a Comment

This simple soup is comforting, nourishing and delicious. Round out the meal with a hot, crusty French baguette and a simple side of dressed salad greens. For additional flavors reminiscent of the Mediterranean, consider using either Italian or Herbes de Provence Spiced Ghee.

Kashmiri-Saffron Risotto Alla Milanese

March 4, 2021 by Pure Indian Foods Leave a Comment

This wonderful recipe is a lot simpler than you might think. The combination of white wine, garlic-ghee, Kashmiri Saffron and Pecorino Romano will have you coming back to it quite often. The cheese is salty – adding additional salt is optional.
