Panang CurryI learned how to make an authentic Panang Curry in Thailand at the Asia Scenic cooking school and it was the highlight of my trip! To be able to learn how to make the curry paste from scratch is something that I have always wanted to do. This is the best Panang Curry that I have ever made and it's definitely because of the homemade Panang Curry paste! You must give this curry a try!Boot / Kala Chana CholaBoot/Kala Chana Chola was something that I wasn't really a fan of growing up, but after realizing how nostalgic it was to Ramadan, I started really appreciating the dish. Now I love it! It's one of my favorite staple iftar items. I absolutely must make it with potatoes because it really adds a nice thicker consistency to the gravy/jhol! Make it for your next iftar!Bengali Egg Curry – Dimir JholI love curries! I love trying new curries in different countries because everyone does it so differently! This Bengali Egg Curry or Dimir Jhol is something that I grew up eating. My mom made it with a ton of the broth or jhol or sometimes she would make it very dry. Either way this recipe is so easy and delicious that you have to give it a try if you love curries as much as me!Green Lentil SaladI am all about having more plant based meals, making this the perfect lunch or dinner salad. I love how simple and easy it is to make with such limited amount of ingredients. This Green Lentil Salad is so flavorful and gets better as you let it sit in the fridge! You have to try this salad out this summer!Bang Bang Shrimp SaladThis recipe is so good that once I eat one shrimp, I just can't stop. Bang Bang Sauce is something I stumbled upon on the web (from the restaurant Bonefish Grill) and was very intrigued. I later found many food bloggers recreating it and once I read the ingredients, I knew that I had to make my version of it! This is so delicious and takes no time at all to make!Cranberry Feta Salad with Dijon VinaigretteBy now you know that I love salads, and the options are endless! I love having vinaigrettes and very simple salad dressings, which is why I love this Cranberry Feta Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette! The combination of the vinaigrette with the feta and cranberry is so perfect! I love having this salad especially in the hot summer months!Asian Quinoa Salad with Sesame Ginger DressingI first had this salad at a market in my work building and instantly fell in love. I never knew how much I loved kale until that very moment! Since then I have been absolutely hooked on this Asian Quinoa Salad with homemade Sesame Ginger Dressing! It's so filling with the quinoa and all the veggies and I love that it's a salad I can make ahead of time and not have to worry about it wilting. Try it out, you wont regret it!Baked Chicken TaquitosWho here is guilty of buying taquitos from the gas station?! I definitely used to, but no more! Stop feeling guilty about eating fast food taquitos when you can have an even more delicious version that is BAKED! Yes, these Chicken Taquitos are perfectly spiced and baked in the oven to perfection! You have to give this one a try!Baked Chicken NuggetsDo you love chicken nuggets? Did you grow up with the traditional ones that are deep fried? Well I sure did, but I was happy to have found a way to eat this nostalgic dish without having to ruin my healthy diet. These baked chicken nuggets are so soft on the inside and perfectly crunchy on the outside!
