At many special occasions in my family and community pilau or yakhni are served. These are dishes that generally take a bit of preparation to put together and quite a lot of ingredients.

Vegan Pav Bhaji Recipe
Celebrating how much you love you partner, children or others doesn't have to mean defaulting to the old standbys of breakfast in bed or cake.

Multicooker Indian Potato Curry with Steamed Rice Recipe
Potatoes are one of my favourite things to eat. The "problem" is, I often want to make Indian potato curry with them, whenever I have them at home.
