Roman Style Kati Roll (aka Paneer Pizza)

October 29, 2012 By Milen Gala

The first time I had a paneer pizza was at pizza hut… yes, pizza hut… in Calcutta. I can’t quite remember but I think it was almost 12 years ago. From that point on I was hooked. This was so ingenious… the marrying of two of my all time favorite foods, paneer, in any form, and pizza… After coming home, for the next several years, every time I ate pizza it was all I could think about… but the paneer-topped labor of love was nowhere to be found. Back then making homemade pizza was not that common, especially in our house. So I just had to wait… till the next 22 hr plane ride…

Thai Style Sweet And Spicy Tofu With Red Cabbage

October 26, 2012 By Milen Gala

It’s getting cold in Seattle….. Our winter has finally set in after a spectacularly long and beautiful summer. This cold, damp, weather calls for some warm spicy food….

On Tuesday our usual weekly local produce delivery box came. I was emptying the contents and moving stuff into the fridge… Tomatoes, avocado, lime, 2 different types of apples, garlic, leeks, squash, zucchini…. and then out came a giant red cabbage. Now this was not part of our usual assortment of produce. At first I kinda just stared at it… Holding this giant bowling ball of a vegetable in my hand, awed by the beautiful purplish reddish color, it’s super glossy, almost silky, outer layer…..If I could just replicate this color onto bedsheets for our master bedroom, or an accent wall I thought….

Easy Avocado Pasta

October 24, 2012 By Milen Gala

Ok, so I’ve seen this recipe on ohsheglows.com a few times and I finally had the chance to make it. I kid you not, it is delicious. If you like guacamole, and you like pesto…and you like pasta… you will LOVE this!

After you put the pasta on the stove to boil, it takes about 5 minutes to make the sauce…. I WILL definitely be making this again.

I think what I love about this pasta the most is that it is a great way to get kids to eat healthy fat. Avocados are also a great source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins C,K, folate, and B6. The fat in avocados are so good for kids brains… and not to mention how great they are for our skin.

Chocolate Banana Marble Bread

October 23, 2012 By Milen Gala

Simaya and I were in the kitchen today and on the counter were 3 very ripe bananas…..ok, so this happens at our house (and I’m sure yours) all the time. Usually if we have the energy we get out the mixer and make banana bread. Today we decided to try something different. Browsing through the internet we came across a chocolate banana marble loaf recipe. Since Simi (Simaya’s nickname) usually does not like nuts and LOVES chocolate we decided to give it a go. Boy, was it a good decision…….
