We have a slow cooker chicken tikka masala and a chicken tikka masala casserole on FFF, but this particular recipe is made with cauliflower, sweet potatoes, garbanzo beans, and peas....

I love to start my morning with a cup of Indian Masala Tea/Chai. My whole family gathered in the mornings and evenings to drink tea together at my parents’ home.

It is easy to make masala tea when you already have tea spice-mix. Because otherwise, you have to ground all the spices before making the chai/ tea in a mortar pestle....

Our homemade caesar dressing is made with Greek yogurt, mayo, parmesan, and a little anchovy paste. It’s truly the cherry on top....

Creamy Chicken Pasta is a spinoff of my Creamy Garlic Shells, a homemade version of the popular pasta sides packets you’ll find at the grocery store.

My homemade version is just as cheap, easy, and delicious — plus it’s funky ingredient-free!...

Published 11/3/2024 This silky smooth pumpkin pie is a quintessential fall dessert, and while it tastes like it took hours to make, it’s surprisingly easy to throw together.
