NB: Recipe updated with correct yogurt and oil amounts! Thanks guys for catching that! Also, I should mention that traditionally, we use red and yellow food colouring to get that nice bright orange colour. If you’re opposed to food colouring, then don’t feel obliged — it’ll still taste good. But if you’re going for authentic, [...]

I can’t believe this is all going to be over in 2 weeks. This Sunday: Iron FRICKIN’ Chef! Check it: -x- aarti

I actually got to meet some of you face to face this past weekend. And it was more joyful than I thought possible. See, there’s something so abstract about this experience.

My sister, Kavita, has been so excited ever since she found out that I was on the show. I believe her exact reaction was at a pitch that only her dogs could hear. Isn’t that cute?! Kuv is a couple of years younger than me, and lives in Phoenix. When the show premiered, she organized [...]
