Applesauce Muffins
Credits
Recipe modified from DrCackle on Reddit.
Ingredients
Makes 12 muffins
Amount Ingredient 240g flour, all purpose 50g sugar 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon ¼ tsp ground cloves 80g raisins 105g apple, peeled, finely diced 113g butter, unsalted, melted 380g applesauce, unsweetened
Process
Preheat oven to 350° F
In medium, microwave-safe bowl: melt butter; add raisinsa + applesauce, heat through again if necessary (this is to hydrate the raisins)
Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix
To the same bowl, add the rest of the ingredients, including the butter/applesauce/raisin mixture
Mix until just combined (batter will be quite thick)
Lightly spray muffin tin with spray oil and divide batter evenly between tins
Bake: 30 minutes
Allow to cool on countertop for at least 15 minutes.
Nutrition
Whole Recipe: 867g = 2,409 calories
1 Muffin (73g) = 203 calories
Notes
These are extremely low sugar, which is how I like them; most people may want to up the sugar and raisins
I'll play around with increasing the apple, cinnamon and maybe cloves next time, recipe feels like it can handle it
These taste very healthy and could pass for breakfast muffins. I may experiment with adding additional vegetables such as carrots or zucchini.

Recipe adapted from Tea for Turmeric
Ingredients
Amount Ingredients 50g oil 245g onion, chopped 1¾ tsp salt 300g tomatoes 1 T garlic, minced 1 T ginger, minced 1 serrano pepper 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 tsp cumin powder ½ tsp coriander powder ½ tsp turmeric ½ tsp black pepper ¼ tsp cayenne 400g potatoes, diced 360g eggplant, diced ½ tsp chaat masala ½ tsp coriander seeds, crushed ¼ cup cilantro, fresh, chopped 1 T lemon juice, fresh ~2 cups water, as needed
Process
Sauté onions and salt in oil until golden brown
Add tomatoes, ginger, garlic, serrano pepper; saute until fragrant and tomatoes begin to break down
Add all the spices listed from cumin seeds - cayenne; cook for a few minutes
Add potatoes and eggplant, cook down until the oil starts separating from the tomato gravy; at that point, add a ½ cup of water and keep cooking until potatoes and eggplant are tender
Add chaat masala, crushed coriander seeds and turn off the heat
Add cilantro and lemon juice
Nutrition
Per 100g of salan: 118 calories
Notes
Can cover the pan to help speed things along in Step 4
Keep ~2 cups of water on standby and add as necessary to deglaze the pan, add steam, etc. at ANY point in this process; use about a tablespoon or two at a time. You may not use all of it.
Cook until potatoes and eggplant have reached your preferred consistency

Dahi Pallay
Ingredients
For Pallay
Amount Ingredient ~½ cup besan (gram flour) as needed water 1 tsp cumin seeds to taste salt as needed oil for frying
For Dahi
Amount Ingredient 1 container yogurt as needed milk 2 potatoes, medium 1½ cups chickpeas, cooked ⅛ - ¼ tsp cayenne peppper 1 tsp cumin seeds to taste salt
Process
Score the potatoes (for easy-peel) and set to boil in salted water, OR pierce with a knife and microwave until cooked through (~5-10 minutes)
Mix the yogurt with milk to thin out until it reaches your desired consistency (keep it thinner than you want the final dish to be! Te pallay will soak up the liquid and thicken the overall mixture. Refrigeration will also thicken it.)
Add spices and chickpeas, whisk and set aside in the fridge
Prepare the pallay batter by adding all the ingredients to a bowl and mixing until there are no lumps. You may need to scrape some lumps against the bottom and sides of the bowl to crush them. Use as much water as needed to get a runny consistency, something like crepe batter.
Fry the pallay in batches until light or golden brown. Try to make some in dumpling shapes and some just drizzled strings off the spoon for variation. Dump fried pallay into large mixing bowl. Repeat until all batter is used up.
Drain potatoes, peel, and refrigerate until they're easy to handle; cubing hot potatoes is a hassle and causes crumbling/smushing.
Submerge the bowl of fried pallay in water. Check to see that even the hard pieces have softened up, then drain completely.
Add cubed potatoes and wet pallay to yogurt mixture, mix until everything is thoroughly coated; refrigerate
Serve once fully chilled.
Notes
You could also add tomatoes and onions to the final dish. Just chop them up to roughly the same size as your potatoes and add to the yogurt mixture.
Some folks like to sweeten this dish with some sugar and even some sour with tamarind chutney.
This dish often includes chaat masala (to taste), feel free to experiment with that if you like. It also makes a nice garnish to dust on top to keep everything from looking too one-note

Quasi-Caprese Bagel
Ingredients
Amount Ingredient 1 bagel, toasted 25g boursin, cracked pepper ~4 tomatoes, cherry 1 tsp balsamic vinegar 3 basil leaves, fresh, ribboned
Process
Toast bagel
Spread each slice with boursin; layer other ingredients on top
Nutrition
470 calories
Notes
I used and recommend an everything bagel
You can use any flavor of boursin, but I recommend the cracked pepper one; if you don't have that one, crack some fresh black pepper on top of your boursin after spreading
can turn it into a breakfast sandwich by adding an over easy fried egg on top

Tahini Sauce
Ingredients
Makes 110g of sauce
Amount Ingredients 60g tahini 15g lemon juice, fresh ¼ tsp sumac 35g water ¼ tsp salt ⅛ tsp cumin, ground
Process
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl; adjust spices and seasoning per your preference
Nutrition
Total Recipe: 360 calories
Per 100g: 327 calories
Notes
seasoning measurements are just guesstimates, you should use a pinch of each and build from there to figure out what you like
experiment with other acids, I like to use a mix of lemon and lime juices, but you could also use pickle or peperoncini brine, vinegar, etc.
Mediterranean Turkey Sandwich
Ingredients
Makes 1 sandwich
Amount Ingredients 76g Italian bread, inside hollowed out 54g tahini sauce 1 T cilantro, fresh, chopped 62g turkey, deli, smoked 34g cucumber, peeled 18g olives, black 6g onions 28g tomatoes
Process
Toast bread in toaster or on a dry pan
Slather both sides generously with tahini sauce and sprinkle cilantro over one end (or both, per your preference)
Layer all the other ingredients
Nutrition
489 calories
Notes
don't throw out the inside of the bread which was hollowed out; toast those bits and use them as croutons for soup or dip them into the sauce and make little mini sandwich bites
can add spinach or lettuce, or any other fresh vegetables
can add roasted/grilled vegetables such as zucchini and eggplant, though these are more calorie dense
can add feta cheese; this will increase the calorie count
make it vegetarian by omitting the turkey

Chicken Salan

Recipe adapted from Tea for Turmeric.
Ingredients
Amount Ingredients 1½ lb chicken breast, raw, cubed 50g oil 160g onion, chopped 1½ tsp salt 150g tomatoes, chopped 1 serrano pepper, slit 1 T garlic, minced 1½ tsp ginger, minced 6 black peppercorns, whole 3 cloves 1 tsp cumin seeds ½ tsp cayenne pepper ½ tsp turmeric ¼ tsp coriander powder ¼ tsp cumin powder 1½ cup water ½ tsp coriander seeds ½ cup cilantro, chopped
Process
Sauté onions, salt in oil until lightly golden; deglaze with a tablespoon or two of water, if necessary
Add tomatoes, serrano, ginger, garlic; sauté for a few minutes
Add chicken; sauté until color changes and chicken is no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes
Add all the spices except coriander seeds; sauté for 2 minutes
Add water
Pressure: High Time: 7 minutes Release: natural for 5 minutes
Taste for salt, add coriander seeds, chopped fresh cilantro; serve
Nutrition
Total Recipe: 1,330 calories
Per 100g: 119 calories
Notes
After making the masala base (just before adding the chicken), you can stick blend the mixture to make a smooth consistency.
In lieu of the above, you can also chop up the onions and tomatoes in a food processor before they go in the pot. I don't bother with either of these.

Products
Costco
Pita Inn Original Hummus

Spread hummus around bottom of low bowl or plate; thin with water to desired consistency (use about a teaspoon at a time)
Crumble falafel on top; layer cucumber and tomatoes
Chop up salad kit and add on top
Mix everything together, scraping the hummus from the bottom in the process
Nutrition
311 calories
Notes
I used restaurant falafel, but you could use any that you prefer.
Variations to try include:
adding hot sauce; I'd particularly recommend something with a smoky cumin flavor like a red shug/zhug
can also add tahini to help increase the moisture and keep it from being too dry; this will significantly increase the calories
can add seasonings like sumac, za'atar, or herbs like mint and cilantro
can bulk it up with chickpeas, beans, or chicken

Onion Size
If a recipe calls for onions by general measurements (large, medium, small), it usually means the exact amount isn't important. Whatever you have on hand will work and you can always eyeball it.
For example, if a small onion is called for and you only have a large one, you can safely use half.
However, for the purposes of calorie counting or more exact recreations, it is helpful to have a general range in mind.
