Yes that's right a crockpot chicken tikka masala that doesn't require any browning meat, sautéing aromatics, or the extra step of pureeing sauce. Everything is simply added right into a slow cooker, tossed together, cooked through, then finished off with a fair amount of cream.

It is the simplest way to cook this savory Indian-British dish and the final result is a full flavored, perfectly impressive curry style dinner. Who doesn't love a dinner recipe that takes minimal effort but yields maximum flavor!

This near effortless dish simmers low and slow allowing all the flavors to meld and soak into the chicken, and its generous allotment of cooking time allows for all those spices to marry together in a overall unified flavor.

The key to a good slow cooker curry style dish like this is just to use plenty of spices, fresh aromatics (garlic, ginger and onion), and never forget the cream (it compliments the tomato beautifully). Serve it with basmati rice cooked in a rice cooker for continued ease, and pair with a side of steamed peas or green beans to include a veggie.

An Easy Tofu Scramble Recipe

I never used to be a fan of tofu but that was likely because it was under-seasoned or just not cooked right. Tofu tastes incredibly plain and mild on it's own as is but when seasoned right and sautéed it can transform into something that's actually super tasty.

Tofu is very absorbent to flavors so it makes it highly adaptable which is great for these "scrambled eggs" using tofu. They're flavorfully seasoned with southwestern spices that soak right in, and it's cooked in a hot skillet until golden brown to take on more flavor. And I think you'll enjoy that the texture is very similar to scrambled eggs.

It's a quick to make vegan breakfast and it pairs beautifully with whole grain toast and sliced avocado. This has been a go-to breakfast for me lately and it actually re-heats really well so I can get a few breakfast meals out of it.

Feel free to add in other vegetables (things like mushrooms, zucchini, or tomatoes) and you could even splurge a little and add some cheese (vegan or regular) at the end.

What is Beef Shawarma?

If you’ve never had beef shawarma, you’re in for a treat.! A famous Middle Eastern street food, shawarma is made with chicken or beef that is heavily marinated in oil, lemon juice, and warm spices. Then, it is placed on a vertical rotisserie or spit and slow-roasted for days until it is unbelievably tender. 

Most commonly, it is shaved off and served stuffed into bread with fresh toppings and a drizzle of tahini or tzatziki. However, you can also find it presented as part of a platter along with sides like tabbouleh and hummus. No matter how it’s plated, it’s always incredible and is guaranteed to leave you coming back for more. 

Don’t worry, though. You don’t need a fancy spit to make your own beef shawarma at home. I’ll show you how to create the same bold flavor and tender texture by searing on the stovetop instead! 

What does Golden Milk taste like?

Golden milk has a distinctive taste. It is warmly earthy, supremely spiced, slightly sweet, complexly flavorful, has a light bite to it, and with the addition of coconut oil or if using dairy milk it becomes a rich drink.

Some drinks with similar flavor include chai tea or spicy eggnog.

You have the option to sweeten it, then serve it warm and cozy or chilled and iced. I say this really just depends on the season. I think you'll love it warm during fall and winter months and chilled during spring and summer months.

It's touted to have lots of health benefits (see below) and some say it can even help improve sleep quality.

All the more reason to enjoy this delicious drink! It has tempting flavor and nutritious benefits.

Coconut Lentil Curry

This meat-free lentil curry recipe is such a tasty main dish that pairs beautifully with white rice, cauliflower rice or naan.

It has a delicious complexity of flavor, the lentils make it a nutritious choice, and the coconut milk adds some body to make it more substantial.

It makes an excellent vegan dinner and any extra that's left is perfect for lunch the next day (you can even freeze it).

If you haven't yet had lentils this is a great place to start. With the rising prices of meat these days it's a great recipe to add into the dinner rotation since lentils are a much cheaper alternative to meat.

And by using a the homemade spice blend here (which is basically a curry spice blend) you can control the amount of heat that goes into the dish making it as mild or spicy as you prefer.

What is Butter Chicken?

Butter Chicken, also known as murg makhani, is an Indian curry dish made of chicken that's coated in a well seasoned tomato gravy that includes butter and cream.

Chicken is marinated in yogurt, spices, garlic and ginger, then later cooked in a tandoor, but it can also be pan fried, grilled or oven roasted. After that it is tossed with the simmered, richly seasoned tomato sauce.

This butter chicken recipe is easy and straightforward. It just involves a bit of extra time. It's one of those hard to mess up dishes as long as you follow a few simple directions and tips.

If you love Indian food this is a must try recipe, and if you've never had Indian food this is such a great place to start!

Chickpea Coconut Curry

This Chickpea curry is such a hearty and flavorful Indian dish that really packs in that crave-able flavor! It's made without any meat and you won't even miss it in the slightest!

The best part, in my opinion, really is the sauce with its vibrant taste and perfect smoothness (no chunks thanks to a quick blend). If you're a fan of butter chicken, I'm willing to bet you'll love this!

Though it may seem like an incredibly long list of chickpea curry ingredients here, don't be alarmed because the majority of it is spices you likely already have on hand in your pantry (plus I've even included a few as optional).

Some of you may be thinking, but wait, there's no curry? Here we make our own curry spice blend which gives us far more overall control over flavor and heat level.

And this recipe uses plenty of them for an exciting, rich depth of well-rounded flavor.

Serving suggestions are of course the classic basmati rice or cauliflower rice, but if you really want to go all out serve it with warm buttery naan bread. Roasted vegetables are a great side to it as well just ditch the Italian seasoning and use spices like those here instead. You can also try serving this over spinach or kale.

Thai Coconut Chicken

It's a simple Thai style chicken recipe that finishes with incredible results, thanks to a well rounded and nicely seasoned marinade. And yes it may seem like an interesting blend of ingredients but it will remind you of a good curry.

In other words you'll never get tired of this chicken!

Pair it with steamed jasmine rice (or coconut rice) and grilled or sautéed vegetables (broccoli, bok choy, peas, asparagus, carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc), for an easy and nutritious dinner.

What to Make with Extra Coconut Milk

Wondering what to make with the leftover coconut milk? Bake my favorite coconut cake (use a hint of regular milk if you're a tad short on coconut milk), add it to oatmeal, make french toast or try it in this tasty Hawaiian Fried Rice.

The inspiration for this recipe came from a local restaurant we dined at. Out of everything we ordered this was easily my favorite, I couldn't stop thinking about how good it was so I knew I had to make it at home.

Their version had ground lamb but I prefer chicken so I went with that instead but feel free to try it with cooked ground lamb if you'd like.

This soup is brimming with nutritious ingredients and finished with a bit of cream to make it rich and take it over the top. But if you are wanting to keep it healthy go with coconut milk or even half and half.

We often get in the rut of making the same easy things but I love recipes like this that have so much flavor and are something out of the norm. This is a soup that's sure to impress!
