ImliMasala

Hey there! I am Preshita and I love cooking and sharing vegetarian dishes with friends and family. While I come from an Asian-Indian background, I enjoy preparing cuisines from around the world. My husband and I have a large foodie family, who help keep my culinary skills razor-sharp. They are excellent critics, and I truly enjoy cooking and trying new dishes for them! ​ I hope you enjoy the wonderful, tantalizing dishes that I will share with you. They have been tried and tested by the Barots!

Amazing Banana Bread

Black Bean Burger

This healthy recipe has been modified from “show me the curry” After sautéing roughly chopped onions, garlic, mushrooms, red bell pepper, green chilli, & carrots.  Add equal amounts of chipotle seasoning and taco seasoning to the mixture.  In a food processor add a slice of bread & vegetables, pulse all ingredients till they combine ( just a couple pulses- don’t want it to smooshy).  In seperate bowl add the pulsed mixture, black beans, rice, oatmeal, & pickled jalapenos.  With hands mix together and form balls the size of a fist.  Roll this ball into planko crumbs and make flat.  Grill on a skillet using little oil- turn till both sides are brownish and cooked.  Serve on a bed of lettuce or enjoy between two sandwich buns!!!

Stuffed Pablano Peppers

Pablano peppers grilled, charred, and prepared to stuff with a healthy & delicious filling.  Stuffing consists of quinoa, brown rice, black beans, corn, green chilis, cilantro and sweet/smoky chiptole seasoning.  The peppers were doused with homemade enchilada sauce and mexican cheese.  The dish was baked for 15-20 min and served with a dab of sour cream! Yum!!
