eggs & dairy
Recipes and ideas with dairy products.
Palak paneer
Palak paneer makes for the perfect meat free meal, or an equally great side dish for meat eaters. Serve warm with some naan or other Indian bread.
Perfect paneer
Cottage cheese is known the world over. It is among the most basic of English or American foods and an ordinary component of a meal in France or Greece. But the Indian version, known as paneer, is just a little bit different. Similar to ricotta, it adds not just dairy but a delightful hint of tang to any dish. Making your own paneer, the Indian version of cottage cheese, can be a challenge, but a fun one at that.
Kadhi
A more acidic yogurt makes a better kadhi, you don't need to use the freshest yogurt to make kadhi. Often, in India, rests of morning yogurt are stored together until there is enough to make this drink.
Quinoa, goat cheese, red cabbage wraps
These wraps are a delicious, easy and healthy appetizer!
Potato pancakes (latkes)
Serve these potato pancakes with no garnish, with savory toppings such as sour cream, sweet ones such as apple sauce and sugar, or a mix of sweet and savory.
Butternut squash and apple soup
Soup should be a smooth, friendly spoonful, which is why this is a lasting combination. Some ingredients just work well together: Butternut squash and apples have a complementary, mellow sweetness. Sweet potatoes and apples have a similar agreement, hence our sweet potato side dish.
Raita
This delicious Indian sauce or dip always had a plain yogurt base, although the vegetables and seasoning vary from one recipe to other.
