Butter Chicken Recipe
I have a secret to tell you. I am completely and one hundred percent obsessed with Indian food. Well, really just food but I have a special love for Indian food.I hadn't tried it before I met my husband and I remember being excited to visit his family's house for the first time to try authentic Indian food. I knew it was a lot of chicken and spices which were both right up my alley.I instantly fell in love with it all.I gleaned all the tips and recipes I could from my hubby's family so I could make it on my own. I wanted to learn it all because my dream would be to have Indian food every single day! Now my kids are just as obsessed and it makes my heart swell up with pride. I love that we've been able to share our love with Indian food to them.Don't worry, I still throw in my family recipes to the mix. Although, somehow Indian spices keep making their way into the pot when I do! I think someone's trying to give me a little hint to spice up my food a bit!
Today's new dish proves to make my whole family happy every time! My friend came over to our house a few weeks ago and whipped this bad boy up! Everyone was begging for seconds and much to her hubby's disappointment, they ended up having nothing to take back for leftovers!It flew off everyone's plates!She has an Almost Indian family of her own and was more than happy to share her recipe with us!The best part of this recipe is just how easy it is to whip up. All you need is some hungry kids, a few ingredients, and empty bellies!

My Kids Have Been Waiting For Lahori Fish!
Growing up I was never a big fan of fish. The texture and the idea of it just freaked me out. Then it all changed while I was pregnant with my second son. I craved it all day long! I even went to an OB appointment demanding to know the type of fish I could have and exactly how much because I knew I'd eat every bit I could.I'm not as obsessed as I was while pregnant, but my love for fish was sparked. I realized it wasn't that I didn't like fish it was that I needed to have it made just right!This is why I was so excited when I saw that Shan Foods had a fish fry box! I picked it up right away and showed my boys, who then proceeded to beg me to make it for dinner!

I've developed such a deep love for Indian food over the years. I love all the spices that are infused with each bite.
The ability to learn about my husband's culture through food has been what fueled my love. I wanted to learn how to make Indian food so that my husband could share his memories of it growing up and start our own memories with our kids.
My kids are obsessed with Indian food and ask for it everyday! The hard thing is that traditional Indian food can take hours to prepare. With three kids and a traveling spouse, I rarely have the time.
This is why I love Shan Foods! They have made it so easy! Instead of hours it's done quickly! Not to mention it's so easy! They've done all the hard work and have given us traditional Indian dishes!
Whether you're new to Indian food or have been making it for years, Shan Foods can help!

Big News!
If you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw my big announcement! I just signed on to work with Shan Foods all year! This means you will be seeing delicious recipes each month!
Now, I have a nit of nostalgia when it comes to Shan spices. When my husband and I first got married I had no idea how to make and Indian dish. My first experience was horrible! I spent an entire day shopping for spices and prepping to make chicken curry. Let's just say my husband was excited all day and the moment we sat down for dinner... you could just see it in his face.
He was trying not to laugh because he knew how hard I tried, but wow. It was even the wrong color! Instead of finding a traditional Indian recipe, I looked online for the simplest one I could find. I didn't even go to the Indian grocery store for spices! I went to our local grocery store. Needless to say I learned my lesson.
The biggest thing I learned through it all is the importance of good recipes and authentic spices. Whether you have made a ton of Indian dishes or you're a novice, Shan Foods is the perfect thing for you. They combine all their spices in a simple to use package. They even have a recipe on the back!
I wanted to show you just how easy it could be and I was looking for an excuse to try out a new recipe!
This has become one of my new favorite Indian dishes. It's called Pav Bhaji and wow. Think Indian sloppy joes with delicious veggies!
You create your delicious Pav Bhaji mixture and then put it in a buttery bun. This dish is famous where I live and people go crazy to find the best rolls or buns to serve with it!
This is the time to pull our grandmas famous roll recipe!
