We will be going over how to make Corn Flour Parathas the fast and easy way. Roti is a staple in almost every Indian meal. Going gluten-free has many problems because roti is also wheat-based. Testing many flour alternatives with no luck. Nothing really came close to the texture or taste. Traditional Indian Maki da atta did not work as it left an aftertaste and made us crave Saag. Makki da atta is too brittle when trying to roll out a thinner paratha or roti using ..read more

One of my favourite gluten-free and dairy-free Coriander Chutney. This Coriander chutney is the perfect partner for onion bhaji, pakoras, samosas, dosas, wraps and more. This is actually my mother inlaws recipe (I did ask if I could post it). This recipe actually fooled me at first. It honestly looks like another dahi (plain yogurt, dairy-based) chutney. Boy was I wrong, one night I watched her make it I asked so we add the dahi in now? To her reply nope, It’s dairy-free. I’ll keep the right up short and sweet for this dip so you can jump right in and learn how to make our chutney at home. Thi ..read more

This Chicken Vindaloo will have you sniffing and tearing up all the while digging into the next bite. Backstory One of my top 5 favourite dishes. I only discovered it after seeing it on a rerun of Red Dwarf on Showcase. This is back when I still had cable. Honestly, I had never heard of it before at all both the show and the curry.

Which I did have a hard time with because it took me forever to finish t ..read more
