Easy 10-Minute Naan

May 8, 2018 7 Comments

Tender, fluffy, easy 10-minute Naan, no yeast, no waiting.|www.mannaandspice.com

I can't believe a lot of things. One of which is that I've waiting this long to do a naan recipe. I mean, this naan is the best and only flatbreadish type recipe you'll ever need. And you don't even really need bread making skills, or most any kind of skills to make this naan. But I feel like I need to warn you that if you make this naan, all others will pale in comparison and then you'll have have to keep making this one. Because these are seriously some bread goals and naan goals. I never thought I'd be the type of person who would make her own naan. I've watched it being made- kneaded until tender, then pulled into the signature oblong shape, and then slapped onto the searingly hot walls of a tandoor oven. Served fresh and table side, what's there not to love? It's the most perfect bread to soak up the warm and bold flavors of butter chicken or rogan josh. Or go ahead and turn the leftovers into crispy, crunchy naan-tons for a  tandoori chicken caesar salad. Let me talk you ...

Tandoori Ground Chicken with Potatoes

April 13, 2018 2 Comments

Tandoori Ground Chicken with Potatoes|www.mannaandspice.com

I've been making this tandoori ground chicken with potatoes for over a decade now. For those of you keeping count, I learned how to make it almost twelve years ago, when I first got married. And I'd be remiss if I didn't give credit to the person who inspired the evolution of this recipe. It's definitely in our regular rotation and is a comfort food for The Mister. When I was trying to navigate my way through my first kitchen, I was eager to learn all things food by watching and listening and talking to anyone and everyone who cooked. Aunty A is one of the people who has the magic touch when it comes to food. She can make even frozen fish sticks taste like the best fish you've ever had- now that's true power. She's the one who first introduced me to this ground chicken. As I watched her move gracefully, and add a little bit of this and that, I could only hope that one day I would be able to cook as well as her. Her family was a large part of The Mister's family long before I entered ...

Caramelized Cinnamon Plantain Oatmeal

Caramelized Cinnamon Plantain Oatmeal|www.mannaandspice.com

Fact: Oatmeal is one of the most underappreciated foods. It gets very little love compared to all the quick breakfasts but very rarely do I make a perfectly creamy, slightly sweet, bowl of oatmeal. Well friends, we're changing that today. I'm 100% crushing on this caramelized cinnamon plantain oatmeal. Because this caramelized cinnamon plantain oatmeal is my form of self-care. And self-care is important in my world. Growing up, I never really cared for oatmeal. I don't know many people who did. But as an adult, I changed that feeling completely. Can you imagine eating a naturally sweetened, creamy oatmeal with it's cinnamony goodness on a chilly, crisp morning? I mean, I know it's technically spring but I'm still wearing my sweaters and the weather hasn't exactly warmed up yet. So why not keep enjoying bring warm foods into our lives? Like with a piping hot bowl of oatmeal. It has the intense flavor of something that's been simmering on the stove for hours, but really, you only ...

Fresno Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

April 6, 2018 2 Comments

Sheet Pan Fresno Chicken & Veggies| www.mannaandspice.com

I've made you guys wait long enough. In my last post, we talked about the my all-purpose fresno chili sauce and you guys loved it. A lot of you pointed out that it was like peri-peri sauce. And you were of course 100% right on the money. I drew the inspiration from peri-peri chicken, which is, if you haven't tried it, amazing. My fresno chili sauce uses a more accessible fresno chili pepper, but don't be fooled. The sauce is every bit as good and packs a similar level of heat! In fact, it's so good that I had to to use it to make a one and done sheet pan dinner, complete with marinated chicken and roasted veggies. I've started keeping chicken marinated in the fresno chili sauce ready to go in the freezer, portioned for quick meals on days when I'm just not able to spend much time making a meal. When it comes actually assembling the sheet pan dinner, I just cut some veggies- whatever you have in the fridge is the right veggie- and toss it all together. The chicken definitely needs ...

Hi there! I'm Sadiya, welcome to my little corner of the world (currently Boston, Mass) where I marry flavors from my traditional Indian upbringing with a fresh, healthy, American approach. I launched my blog in 2015 as a hobby, life happened (which is does when you're a mom of four and you move halfway across the country), and now here I am, back at it! Read More…
