Tikka Masala Chicken Kebabs

When I was asked to compile a list of recipes that uses my delicious Tikka N’ Curry sauce, my first choice was tikka masala chicken kebabs. These versatile kebabs use tasty chicken breast morsels and vitamin-rich red onions – ingredients that are easily found in stores – to make a perfect family dish in under 10 minutes. My kids love to slide the ingredients off their skewers and wrap them in a heated naan. For grown-ups or those seeking a healthier alternative, they’re also a great BBQ dish with a side salad.

Tikka Masala with Chicken & Cauliflower

My Tikka N’ Curry tikka masala sauce is much more flavorful than your average simmer sauce, which makes it the perfect complement for the mild nuttiness of cauliflower and the tenderness of chicken breast pieces. This easy tikka masala recipe is great for gathering friends, cooking quickly even in large batches while providing a unique dish.

Tikka Masala Tacos

I love fusion food, so when I came across the opportunity to marry the spiciness of Indian dishes with my kid’s favorite, Mexican, I was all for it. This tasty dish uses marinated paneer cubes and veggies at the heart of its recipe. Feel free to replace the paneer cheese with shredded chicken or beef and cook as instructed below.

Matar Paneer

My favorite food as a child was matar paneer, Indian cheese, and pea curry which I’d mop up with fresh, fluffy naan bread. It was my mother’s favorite, too. She would purposefully save the ends of crumbly paneer cheese and gather peas and cilantro from our garden to add freshness to the dish. This recipe is an homage to her but adds a couple of time-saving measures to adapt it to modern family life. I’ve opted for frozen peas and half a jar of my Tikka n’ Curry sauce to speed up the cooking process without compromising on the authentic taste.

Butter Masala Mac and Cheese

I’m a firm believer in feeding the soul, and this mac and cheese is my go-to-dish when I’m feeling down. Like the best mac and cheese, it uses elbow macaroni, lashings of cheese, and cream. But it’s elevated by a little kick of spice from the Tikka N’ Curry butter masala sauce.  

Shrimp Butter Masala

Some of the most popular Indian dishes in history combine the simple pairing of crumbly paneer cheese with the soft delicate texture of peas. It’s no surprise, then, that this Paneer and Peas Butter Masala is a winner with all members of our household. I love to cook this dish because it’s quick, utilizing the freshness of frozen peas and the rich flavor of cubed paneer to get results fast. From skillet to plate in less than 15 minutes.

Creamy Pasta

The rich, buttery taste of this creamy pasta dish reminds me of my childhood. I remember on Sunday nights my mom would make a huge pot of this, calling me and my school friends in from playing on the front lawn and we’d rush quickly to devour a bowl of the cheesy, coconutty goodness. It became our weekly ritual all the way through junior school and became our Sunday study dish during high school. Now I continue the tradition with my children and their friends. They’re the kind of Sundays that I hope never end.

Who doesn’t love tofu sauteed in a spicy masala sauce? This vegetarian dish is one of my go-to meals when I want to impress older family members.

After a busy week, this dish is a perfect, light weekend meal for the entire family. It’s so simple that my kids help me out during the prep. Hard-boiled eggs are added to a coconut cream sauce with just a touch of cilantro. We have it with naan bread spread thickly with garlic achaar and glasses of water on the side. Delish! 

Paneer and Vegetable Korma

Paneer and Vegetable Korma, the curry’s unsung hero, has a fan club, and I’m the number 1 member! With my coconut cashew korma, you can create a fast and tasty rendition of vegetable stew, even if you’ve never cooked it before. Throw whatever vegetables you have in the refrigerator into a skillet with my coconut cashew sauce and you’re ready to go.

Pan Fried Fish Korma

I adore cooking this pan-fried fish korma. Every time I prepare this dish for my friends the room is filled with delicious cod, coconut, and cream aromas. This super-quick dish is great with rice and naan bread and can even be converted for vegetarians by replacing the fish with tofu or paneer.

Mushroom Matar Korma

Indian dishes have a reputation for being cooked for hours on end, but in our modern family, we just don’t have time for that. I’m always on the lookout for quick dishes that don’t compromise on flavor. This mushroom korma ticks all the boxes. I use my fave Korma sauce, throw in some Bella mushrooms, and add garlic achaar or hot sauce to the mix for a little heat. My kids never refuse seconds!

Pav Bhaji Jugaad

Sometimes, when I think of Mumbai my heart aches for Pav Bhaji from Chowpatti. This popular street snack is a flavorful vegetable mash of potatoes, peas and carrots served alongside a soft, buttered, perfectly toasted bun. If this sounds simple, think again. There’s nothing quite like warm melted butter, gentle spices, and its rich tomatoey taste, especially when washed down with a rich lassi. My Jugaad helps you whip out Pav Bhaji any day with just a few ingredients in no time.

Crispy Tofu Cutlets

The recipe for our crispy tofu cutlets couldn’t be simpler. Extra-firm tofu is fried to give it brown, crispy edges and then served with a fiery Kadai sauce. With 12g of lean protein per serving, it’s the perfect meal for health-conscious consumers and growing families.

Kadai Omelette

When wintertime hits a little hard, this eggy-spicy dish is the thing that my family asks for more than anything. It’s a great breakfast or supper dish that combines the warming qualities of bell peppers and chilies with a much-needed protein boost.

Kadai Rice Bowl

This delicious plant-based grain bowl goes from sheet pan to table in less than 10 minutes, but that doesn’t mean you need to compromise on taste. With a chunky vegetable-based sauce and protein-rich chickpeas, it’s a mid-week marvel that is filling and healthful.

Thai Curry with Tofu & Veggies

With my Goan sauce, I wanted to create a Thai-style curry that was suitable for vegan and vegetarian. I’ve omitted the fish sauce but kept the flavor-rich with Goan sauce, coconut milk, and sautéed veggies. The result is a tasty dish that’s been honed over several years to give it an incredible depth of flavor.

Goan Curry Noodle Soup

This exquisite golden curry noodle soup was inspired by my trip to a local Thai restaurant. I love their coconut curry noodle dishes but wanted to see if I can create something similar using my timesaving Goan sauce. The result is a tasty curry with protein-rich tofu at the heart of the dish. Delicious and nutritious and all vegan.
