Chicken Tikka Masala for Family Lunch

My brother and his family and my sister and hers were invited to lunch on Sunday; it seemed like a great opportunity for me to make the challenge. I had to triple the recipe, because we were eight people to eat. I mostly went by the recipe, but reduced the hot pepper amount as per …

Chicken Tikka Masala with Naan

I got a chance to make the chicken tikka masala recipe the other day for my family and so jumped on the opportunity. I made the dish with no changes from the challenge recipe as this was my first time making it. The flavor was very similar to the one served in the local Indian …

Challenge 12: Chicken Tikka Masala

Hello fans and fellow Taste Buds! I have really been anticipating my attempt at making this dish since the birth of our blog. My first time trying this spicy treat was actually just a few years ago at an Indian restaurant called the Punjabi Dhaba in a small town near my home. The chicken tikka …

Finding the Passion…

I haven’t written for the blog in a long time, or managed to do the challenge. I have finally mustered up the courage to write an entry. I still haven’t done the challenge, and here is why. Over the past few months, I have lost the passion for food. Sounds ridiculous that one can lose …

Bulgarian Cheese Stuffed Chicken Rolls

This was my lunch for today. I was home alone and I did not feel like eating plain chicken, so I got creative and came up with Bulgarian Cheese Stuffed Chicken Rolls. The recipe is still in "beta" version, but it was amazing. I still have a few ideas to improve it  and of course …

Vanishing Falafel

I was really looking forward to making the Lebanese Falafel over the weekend! I have heard about the dish quite a bit, but I had never really tried it, let alone made it. I had some free time to make a lunch on Friday and so I decided to do the challenge! The day I made …

Falafel Preparation in Photos

When I posted the Falafel recipe, the preparation of the raw part was done. It was the only way I could take the recipe from my mom with specific measurements because she cooks on the feel and she cannot give you the right amounts after! So bare with me, this is going to be a …

Chicken Jambalaya Better Late Than Never

I meant to do this entry a while back, but unknown to me, my brother had borrowed my camera cable to a friend. So, here I was thinking I had lost my cable and been looking for it frantically when it had been borrowed out all along. As annoyed as I am about having my …

Seafood Jambalaya for Easter Lunch

I decided to cook Jambalaya for Easter lunch and to make it with fish and shrimp base. We have invited my uncle and his family for lunch, so I had to double the recipe. I followed the recipe mostly, except that I omitted the sausages (I am not a great fan) and that I used …
