Chicken Dumplings/Momo/Dim Sum – Now in a brand new wrapper They go by many names. Minced meat encased in a wrapper, generally made from some kind of flour. Perhaps you know them as potstickers, maybe momos, dim sum, dumplings, there are many names for them and they make for some good eating. It’s time…
Who came first, the chicken or the egg? Oyakodon is a Japanese chicken and egg (translated literally into parent-and-child) dish and after watching a couple of inspirational videos about the dish and a particular restaurant in Japan that sells it, I decided to make my own Keto version. It’s a really incredible one pot…
Okay fine, it’s water buffalo!! While growing up there wasn’t much of a ‘food scene’ and restaurants were either India, Chinese or Continental. Under the wide banner of continental cuisine was everything from burgers to pizzas to nachos. Looming under the ‘main course’ section was normally chicken a-la-kiev or paprika chicken and beef or…

It’s also perfectly Keto friendly. While growing up I never really cared much for spinach and I found most Indian food too spicy, fast…
A sweet porky treat Pork is one of those meats that just goes so well with a sweet touch to it. This sticky pork belly recipe just hits all the sweet spots (pun intended). This recipe is Deepti’s and she had been wanting me to make it for a while and so I just…
Put the lamb in the coconut and shake ’em both up First, confessions – I cheated a little bit. Not on keto, that’s still going strong. I cheated in calling this a Keto Kerala lamb stew, when in actuality I’ve used mutton. You see, in India, we don’t really get lamb. We get goat…
