RoodonFood Recipes: Indian Turnips (Shalgam)
Happy Diwali and Kali Puja everyone. I wanted to share a new favorite recipe with you. It’s a slight variation of classic Indian turnips (Shalgam/Shalgam-er Torkari). My family members aren’t big fans so it was unfamiliar to me until I mistakenly got them at the legendary Punjabi deli. Raw turnips are naturally acidic and peppery […]
RoodonFood Comfort Foods: Split Pea Soup Recipe
When times are tough, comfort foods often come to the rescue. One of my personal favorites is the humble split pea soup. This soup features ample protein, fiber and iron among other benefits.

I like American staples like eggs and pancakes but variety is key. Thankfully after some amazing arepas at Bogota Latin Bistro during Brooklyn […]

Hybrid Snacks: Baked Beans + Hashbrown + Bhel Mix
At any given time I keep several foods on hand if I’m in a bind for a quick meal, among them are: Hash brown patties, baked beans, and bhel mix. When you combine the three together, you get salty from the hash brown and bhel and the sweet from the baked beans. Because of the […]
