Many consider rose an exotic flavor but growing up in an Indian household it was pretty standard. In fact, our mom used to put a big bowl on top of a bush outdoors to collect fresh snow as it was falling (we know, not sanitary but this was the 90s), pack it into “snowballs” and…

Egg Bhurji
This is a fun twist on a classic Indian breakfast, replacing scrambled eggs with hard boiled eggs. While grabbing a post workout meal in India a few years back, we were lucky enough to stumble upon this dish. Needless to say, we devoured it and knew we had to recreate it once we were back…
