A light, refreshing & delicious summer salad combining crisp apples with fennel & celery for max flavor & crunch! If you have never tried fennel before, you are in for a yummy treat. Fennel (eaten as a vegetable) has a subtle anise flavor that pairs just perfectly with sweet apples & celery.

A tasty seafood dish from the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. My Mussels Pulusu is always in high demand by seafood lovers, if you like mussels - you're going to just love this dish! This recipe is usually meant to be very spicy, but feel free to adjust the heat levels to suit your palate.

My Goan Dal & Paneer Curry is a regional "fusion" dish so-to-speak. It combines North Indian paneer (Indian cheese) with bold & aromatic spices from the Goan region (located on the Western coast of India) all simmered together with dal (lentils) to create an out of this world curry.

A quick & simple Maharashtrian stir-fried fish dish. This delicious dish comes together literally in just minutes, so it's the perfect meal any time of week! Best of all, it's also very healthy to boot. We make this dish quite often & serve it simply with phulkas (flatbread) & rice.

My Hearty Chicken & Chickpea Stew is guaranteed to chase away the winter blues & warm you up from the inside - out. The addition of delicious & highly prized French Puy lentils lends a gourmet touch to this comforting recipe.
