Crispy tofu meets a spicy garlic pepper sauce that comes together in one pan. No deep frying, just a light corn flour coating and a good sear. Perfect as a starter or a quick weeknight side with rice.

New series starting today, and it's a big one if you love hot, smoky starters without the guilt 👀

This is Tandoori Soya Tikka, made almost fully in the air fryer with barely a teaspoon of oil. Real charcoal smoke goes into the marination for that authentic tandoor flavor, then the air fryer takes over from there. High protein, fully vegetarian, and perfect for evenings like today.

This kicks off my new weekly series where I'll be sharing healthy air fryer recipes every week, with a regular stovetop recipe mixed in between. Follow the page so you catch every episode 🫶

Puliyogare. Pulisadam. Tamarind Rice. Three names, one dish, endless family versions.

This is the rice served as prasadam in South Indian temples, packed for school lunches, and somehow better the day after it's made. Tangy tamarind, roasted spice powder, curry leaves, peanuts, a hint of jaggery for balance.

Full recipe below 👇

For the powder masala:
1 tsp whole pepper, 1 tbsp urad dal, 1 tbsp chana dal, 1 tsp coriander seeds, 2 tsp sesame seeds, 1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds, 3 dry red chilies, pinch of hing. Dry roast on low flame until fragrant, cool, and grind fine.

For the tamarind sauce:
5 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp mustard seeds, 1 tbsp urad dal, 1 tbsp chana dal, 2-3 dry red chilies, 1/8 tsp hing, 1/2 tsp turmeric, salt to taste, 2 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder, 2 sprigs curry leaves, 1/2 cup peanuts, 1.5 tbsp jaggery, tamarind pulp (from 1 lemon-sized ball soaked in 1.5 cups hot water for an hour).

Temper mustard seeds, dals, red chilies, curry leaves, and peanuts in oil. Add salt, chili powder, turmeric, and the powder masala. Add tamarind pulp, cook 6-7 minutes till thick. Stir in jaggery, cook a minute more, and switch off.

Mix into room-temperature rice and let it rest a few hours before serving for the best flavor.

It's raining, it's Friday, and the weekend already feels like it's started 🌧️🍫

This choco lava cake is made completely in the air fryer, ready in just 10 minutes, no oven, no eggs, and a molten center that makes it worth every bit of the wait. I used hazelnut dark chocolate for this batch for that extra nutty flavor, but classic dark chocolate works beautifully too.

Five minutes, zero cooking, maximum crunch — this Asian fusion salad has been on repeat in my kitchen 🥗

Cucumber, guava, and carrot tossed in a punchy soy-lime dressing with chili, sesame, and peanuts. Light, refreshing, and genuinely satisfying without any heaviness.

Skipped the honey this time to keep the flavours sharp and tangy, but it's a great add if you prefer a hint of sweetness.

Perfect for a quick lunch, evening snack, or anytime you want something that doesn't sit heavy 🌿

There's a certain kind of meal that doesn't ask much of you — just 10 minutes, a few pantry staples, and you're set. This tomato rasam is that meal.

Boiled tomatoes, mashed by hand, simmered with tamarind, and finished with a tempering of mustard seeds, hing, curry leaves, and a masala I pound fresh instead of using store-bought rasam powder. Serve it hot over rice with a crushed papad on the side, and you've got the easiest, most comforting lunch there is.

Some dishes aren't just food, they're a memory. Palakura Pappu is one of them, a spinach and toor dal combo that's as high in protein as it is in comfort. It's a staple in Andhra homes, and one Bangalore restaurant turned it into a signature dish that people still talk about. I recreated it in my own kitchen, keeping that same sweet-tangy tamarind twist that makes it so addictive.

Full recipe: heat oil, temper with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves and dry red chilies. Add sliced onions, cook till translucent, then add tomatoes with turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, extra spicy chili powder and salt. Cook till mushy. Add chopped palak, cook till wilted. Stir in boiled toor dal, then finish with a cup of tamarind water. Serve hot with rice and papad.

Save this one, it's worth making on repeat.

Craving mall-style garlic bread but don't want the guilt? This one's made with whole wheat dough, loaded with garlic butter, gooey cheese and sweet corn, then baked (not fried) in my Air Fryer Oven till golden and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.

Honestly tastes better than the ones I've ordered outside, and it's ready faster than you'd expect from scratch.

Comment "GARLIC BREAD" and I'll send you the exact quantities and method so you can recreate this at home tonight.

Save this for your next cheat day that isn't really cheating 🤍

Some friendships run on inside jokes. Ours ran on paneer tikka masala. Every dhaba stop, every road trip, this was the one order that never needed a group vote.

Turns out you don't need a tandoor or charcoal smoke to get that exact smoky dhaba flavor at home. Just the right marination, a proper rest time, and a gravy that does all the heavy lifting.

Save this for your next friends' get-together, this one's made to be shared.
