Cauliflower and Ground Chicken/Beef Patty (Low Carb Appetizer)
I have recently decided to switch to a low carb diet. Trying to reduce the carbs in my diet was very hard. I could not just reduce it slowly. So I decided to just give up my rice and chapatis and replace them with veggies. I used to enjoy a very special appetizer which I […]
Ground Chicken Samosas (Appetizer)
Samosas are one of the most popular appetizers in Indian and Pakistani cooking. My mom used make the most amazing samosas; deep frying them in a karahi ( a deep pan with handle). I used to make them the same way. It took a very long time as you have to fold up each samosa […]
Beef Meatballs (Low Carb Appetizer / Snack)
My mom used to make these meatballs as appetizer. We also ate them as evening snacks. My mom deep fried the meatballs, and I use to pan fry them. But now I make them in the air fryer. I sometimes add these meatballs to my salad. This recipe is very mild, which makes it great […]

Chevra (Low Carb Snack)
You will absolutely love my protein rich low carb chevra. Since I use extra thin poha it reduces the carbs tremendously! This recipe was introduced to me by my friend Hansa. I’ve slightly modified the recipe to have more nuts and less poha. This version can be keto friendly by further reducing the carbs by […]
Okra (Entrée)
I grew up in a large family. My mom used to cook really delicious but healthy food. Growing up, my favorite vegetable was okra. When I got married I found out that okra was my husband’s favorite vegetable too. Now all my children (grown up now) love okra. I remember working hard to get them looking good and tasting […]
