Wonderfully rich, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make, it’s a great way to add liver to your diet. If you’re curious about offal and would like to give it a try, chicken livers are an excellent place to start because their texture is pleasant and their flavor is fairly mild. They’re a better choice for beginners than beef heart or chicken hearts, which are more boldly flavored. Turning the livers into pâté makes them even more palatable and is surprisingly easy to do....

I add just a bit of cornmeal to the mixture for that authentic flavor we all love. Even with the cornmeal, a serving has just 3 grams of net carbs. This keto cornbread is tender and fluffy. The combination of almond flour and a small amount of cornmeal makes it taste almost like true cornbread, albeit with a less pronounced corn flavor. The small amount of cornmeal I add makes the experience as authentic as possible....

Each indulgent square contains only 125 calories and 2 grams of net carbs, so go ahead and have one or two! When my husband and I transitioned to a low-carb diet in 2011, I immediately set out to create keto alternatives for our beloved high-carb foods. On the list: keto fat bombs, keto donuts, keto coconut cake, and keto brownies! It took some trial and error, but these brownies are amazing....

With a prep time of about ten minutes and a cooking time of another ten, this ultra-quick dish will be on your table in less than 20 minutes! Although I prefer fatty fish such as baked salmon or rainbow trout, I enjoy the flavor of halibut and its firm, meaty texture. But like most white fish (such as baked cod or grilled mahi mahi), it can be a little bland....

I believe that with chilli sauce, you need the correct balance of all of the ingredients: too much sugar, and it’s all syrupy; too much chilli, and suddenly it becomes overpowering. But get the ingredient proportions correct, then you’re going to have a stronger and more satisfying taste. The sultanas are perfect because they provide a natural sweetness to the sauce which could only have been achieved by adding extra sugar (thus making it more syrupy)....

Perfect as part of a Gujarati Thali. Various carrot pickles, like this Gajar Marcha Athanu, are my favourite alongside my Gujarati meal. Sometimes, my Mum prepares Gajar no Sambharo when we have plenty of carrots to use up! Pickles often need long prep times but the beauty of this instant carrot version is that it takes mere minutes. It is simply prepared by slicing the carrots into julienne or batons, slitting green chillies which are mixed with rai kuria and lemon juice....

It’s ready in just 30 minutes, and the combination of sour cream, Dijon, gruyere, and parmesan is absolutely marvelous. As versatile as potatoes, cauliflower readily absorbs the richness of cream and cheese. It is thus elevated from merely a tasty veggie into a true delicacy. Of all the many ways to prepare cauliflower, this creamy gratin is definitely one of my favorites. Granted, adding sour cream and gruyere cheese to almost anything would make it taste good!...

I also use it to make this keto tuna casserole....

How long do I need to pressure cook the chicken? Only 6-7 minutes are needed to pressure cook chicken. I always set the pressure cooker to manual pressure on “high.” You have to be mindful of the fact that pressure cooking, while expediting the cooking process of the chicken, does take away some of the flavor that the meat absorbs when slow cooking on the stove. So it is really important that you “bhoon” the masala really well in the beginning when you add the chicken to the curry as well as towards the end right before adding the yogurt....

Why make Peanut Katli Peanut Katli is the sister of Kaju Katli. Kaju Katli translates directly as “cashew slice” but we have made it here with peanuts as an alternative to cashew which is just as delicious. The taste is almost marzipan like and the fudgy texture is also fairly similar. Decorate the traditional way with Chandi Varak (edible real silver) or gold foil for a premium sweet. You may see that katli recipes are also sometimes called barfi or burfi....
