Baked Falafel & Pita Falafel Sandwich with Creamy Veggie Salad

I absolutely love Chickpeas. There is so much you can do with it. Falafel always tops the list. There is a small Mediterranean restaurant close to where I used to work. By far they make the best Falafels that I have ever had. They make it pretty big in size and what always intrigued me was how crunchy it was even at room temperature.

Tandoori Gobi

Just like Potatoes, cauliflower is a versatile vegetable that is delicious any way you cook it. From soup to salad to roasted cauliflower to pizza crust to pancakes or even Mac & Cheese. There are endless number of ways to cook them. We have our own favorites at home:) . Though Gobi Manchoori seems to be an all time favorite dish, the idea of deep frying anything seems to bother me.

Eggless Gulkhand Cheesecake Ice cream

Gulkhand (rose petal spred/jam) is a sweet preserve made with rose petals, especially pink roses. It is also used for curing acidity, ulcers etc. It is an Ayurvedic tonic which helps to reduce the heat in the body. The best thing I like about Gulkhand is its intense rosy fragrance. I must say it can be quite addictive! I like to add cream cheese to my ice cream recipes because it gives a nice texture to the ice-cream, makes it a good cream base as well. I usually customize my
