Tagine is named after the earthenware pot with a cone-shaped lid in which it is slow-cooked and served (the dish and the pot are both called Tagine) and it imparts a unique flavor to the dish. Moroccan food is rich in color, texture, and fragrance. This Tagine-inspired stew combines raisins, chickpeas, and eggplant with fragrant spices like cumin, cinnamon, and saffron and super easy to whip up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1620833361588-VLLUIS9LHN94NYRHNYMW/IMG_1787.PNG All Recipes - Chickpeas and Eggplant stew - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1620833604446-289C8FP8BHLOBPHT8ESH/IMG_1786.PNG All Recipes - Chickpeas and Eggplant stew - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/wejdxifta0wvgzocqti8sknzdryk23 monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1620930166344-A7Y1MFWJN9INGZ0GBHHZ/IMG_1837.PNG All Recipes - Pineapple-Saffron Pudding - Make it stand out Dressy enough for a celebration but super simple to whip up, this mhlabiyeh-inspired dessert is silky smooth and melt-in-your-mouth comforting. Made with just a few basic ingredients traditionally, like milk, corn flour and some nuts, I adapted my mom’s recipe by using dairy free milk and by adding fresh pineapple and saffron to the classic Mhlabiyeh. Fond memories of eating this pudding topped with canned fruit cocktail! Growing up, canned mixed fruit was a popular topping for custards and puddings.

Growing up, my mom often packed it in my lunchbox, stuffed inside “khubooz” (flat bread). I don’t remember eating it at home for any of the meals but it was always reserved for lunchbox or packed picnic meals. Feel free to increase the parsley or the bulgur according to your preference. This is how I like it and grew up eating it - lots of greens and less of the grain. There are a lot of variations of this salad - I encourage you to make it the way you like it by adding more or less of any ingredient. I often serve tabbouleh salad stuffed in cabbage bowls - extra healthy, satisfying, delicious, so pretty and colorful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1620755096093-I3IQFUJVQWU5XGLGMVNF/IMG_1544.jpg All Recipes - Tabbouleh in Cabbage Bowls - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1620741849190-5X0NHY8DJ1PHD2XKTGKC/IMG_1755.PNG All Recipes - Tabbouleh in Cabbage Bowls - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/eggplant-coconut-curry monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1620416905372-ZKP1VQ7DL4M5L2TQY7MI/IMG_1596.PNG All Recipes - Eggplant Coconut Curry This simple, creamy eggplant curry is a perfect balance of sweet, savory and spicy - absolutely delicious.

Instructions In a large skillet over medium-high, toast the cumin seeds in the sesame oil, until fragrant, stirring constantly Combine the shredded cabbage, frozen peas, ground turmeric, ground cayenne and salt into the pan and cook covered for 3-4 minutes Uncover the skillet, stir well once again, sprinkle some water if it appears too dry and cover, reduce heat and continue to cook for another 8-10minutes, stirring once in between Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally for a minute, making sure all the water (if any) has been absorbed. BY this time, the cabbage would be tender and slightly brown Add the chopped tomato, sugar/jaggery, stir until well combined and cook for another 7-10 minutes until the tomato pieces appear wilted Turn off heat. Check for seasoning and doneness. Serve as a side with some rice and dal, or flat bread . *The cabbage will take up a lot of room in the pan but after a few minutes, it will cook down pretty quickly *A good addition to this is cubed potatoes, Simply chop and add some potatoes along with the cabbage and cook them all together by following the instructions above. . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1619976188471-HTXTKENS673TLKSXHDCC/IMG_1375.JPG All Recipes - Easy Stir-Fried Cabbage https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/easy-tostada-with-fresh-pineapple-salsa monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1619622938557-IKWIZSBBYEIDQRFG0QW3/IMG_1221.PNG All Recipes - Easy Tostada with Fresh Pineapple Salsa Crispy, satisfying, versatile, and super delicious - tostadas are a great way to add flavor and fun to your meal time.

The cumin-based spice mix is added to chilled water and served as a refreshing summer drink, an appetizer, or as an accompaniment to rich food, as cumin has digestive properties. I love to add seasonal fruits to the classic jaljeera to enhance the flavors and to add some natural sweetness. You will find pre-made jaljeeraa mix at most South Asian stores. To make your own, the recipe is below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1619044353882-6JCNNJ0TY6KRGJWUBD8Z/IMG_0887+%281%29.PNG All Recipes - Refreshing Spiced Pineapple Drink https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/easy-chickpea-salad-with-herbs monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1619009627145-G0KJRN65ZFIDNCDLJQI7/IMG_1007.PNG All Recipes - Easy Chickpea Salad with Herbs https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/easy-stir-fried-potato-rice monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1618756553210-DV6DDL259B3UDLI82KNN/IMG_0867.JPG All Recipes - Easy Stir-fried Potato Rice Potatoes and Rice - these two words bring joy to my very core!

I decided to add rice to her stir-fried potato recipe and the result was this delicious comforting meal. Serve it with unsweetened dairy free yogurt or your favorite curry. https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/soupy-rice-with-tofu-and-greens monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1618673750036-AFPZHE5NM15Q8D8ZANTP/IMG_0814.PNG All Recipes - Soupy rice with Tofu and Greens This beautiful, vibrant bowl of soupy rice is ridiculously easy to whip up, loaded with leafy greens and fresh ginger, and perfect for a light meal. I had a soup similar to this, years ago in a food court in Singapore. It was the only vegetarian item on their menu, delicious, but the chef had added a lot of mushrooms and since I don’t like mushrooms (I know I know, it is shocking to some of you), I recreated it with tofu instead. https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/green-plantain-salad-with-curry-powder-dressing monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1618669065886-LBMVV3OF5RME62PWWUTD/IMG_0811.PNG All Recipes - Green Plantain Salad with Curry Powder Dressing Inspired by an interesting dish I had at a restaurant in India a couple of years ago.

We all love various versions of fried doughballs in sugar syrup, right? I grew up eating a version called “luqaimat”, sweet & fried donuts and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Greek version of them called Loukumades when we were in Athens and I had to re-create something similar for her. So I adapted my luqaimat recipe and they always turn out fantastic. They are simple, easy and so addictive! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1615993973207-KT70G0N6UWCXSO7OID8U/7B1DAC92-FE6A-4BBB-AA57-7C46DEAF58AB.JPG All Recipes - Sweet and crispy donuts https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/beet-salad-with-greens-and-walnuts monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1615822603353-KLHVRW022WMRPGLT3W6D/C3F0F6DE-9704-4B45-96B5-F8CEE1DCAEFC.JPG All Recipes - Beet salad with greens and walnuts I’ve been having this salad on repeat for the past few days. This one inspired by a pasta dish I had at a cafe in Nafplio some years ago..they had served roasted beets with lots of fresh herbs inside two slices of bread (not sure what else was in there), but it was so simple & delicious that I was inspired to create a simple beet salad. I love the earthy sweetness of the beets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1615822691434-435LMYQLEUMR85ABVOKB/D4B107AD-1C9C-43C1-BF09-F2F54FEE3548.JPG All Recipes - Beet salad with greens and walnuts https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/greek-inspired-tomato-fritters monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1615787665091-HBTW9DVSF2RFF3ONH6VK/IMG_7118.JPG All Recipes - Greek-inspired tomato fritters Here’s another dish inspired by domatokeftedes that we had in Epidavros. Created my own spin (thanks to yet another kind chef for sharing some tips). In Epidavros, we were fortunate to watch the Greek tragedy, Elektra by Sophocles - performed by the National Theatre of Greece at the ancient theater of Epidaurus. This experience was humbling. Being in a 3000 year old outdoor theatre, sitting in seats that play-goers have sat in for thousands of years. We were with close to 10,000 friendly Greek spectators who are so proud of their history & culture & have kept this tradition & theatre intact. The play was in Greek (with English subtitles) & the performances were amazing. The colors of the setting sun right at the start of the play made it extra special & our experience magical. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1615787997309-B8QGPI8OHQ4H1LG6236H/IMG_7131.JPG All Recipes - Greek-inspired tomato fritters https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/n9jkqithz47tx6esq9cuwj5bbj6wlj monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1615479787831-8UW2TUC490PNP6U8VF82/18AE5F4B-45AA-4EF6-B97B-4F5EC9DED68A.JPG All Recipes - Purple Potato Salad I adore purple potatoes because of their striking color - also, they are loaded with healing antioxidants and this flavorful salad dressing is a perfect match for these beauties.

The crispy edges, soft center, tangy flavor and the crunch from the vegetables makes this a satisfying, filling breakfast. I make them with leftover dosa batter. The batter is easy to make - just requires a bit of time & planning but once the batter is ready, you can use it to make “idli”, “dosa”, “utappam” and can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/salata-tahini monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1614464800160-N90RZ7WZNVR5GB1J5EY4/IMG_2782.JPG All Recipes - Salata tahini This is my favorite salad by far. LOVE IT. Simple, quick, nutritious, nothing fancy, yet super delicious and satisfying. You can use as many or as little of the ingredients to suit your preference. The overall texture of the salad should be creamy. I like dicing the veggies all at once using a large knife but you can dice them individually and combine them. Avoid using a food processor as that could make the veggies mushy. Serve as a salad meal with some bread on the side, as a sandwich filling or stuffed in pita pockets Make this ASAP! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1614464916283-JAM8DCTPZGG02FUZP2ML/IMG_2761.JPG All Recipes - Salata tahini https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/curried-scrambled-tofu-on-toast monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1614462911977-342Q8S9BTFCBSZTL19NF/IMG_8842.JPG All Recipes - Curried scrambled tofu on toast Do you love curries?

All you need is some dry chickpeas and good olive oil. It is a popular Lebanese mezze dish & you can add different toppings to it, like pine nuts, tomatoes, simple herbs. Growing up, my version of “balila” was warm cooked chickpeas with olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and parsley but now, I like to serve mine with some steamed beets & crunchy cucumber too for some extra texture and nutrition. Simple and super delicious! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1612907974005-IPEVEJ5V3ZN4RROJFVYB/IMG_7647.JPG All Recipes - Chickpea salad with beet & cucumber (“balila”) https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/fried-wontons-with-spinach-and-tofu monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1612901683758-7T3HW55VJC7GPKO7HRWT/BB667DCC-1F0C-4DDE-8951-6DD24E94C5BD.JPG All Recipes - Fried wontons with spinach and tofu Here’s a delicious blend of Mediterranean & Asian cuisine, with these crisp, delicious parcels that are inspired by Turkish “borek” & Greek “Spanakopita”.

I make these often, when I’m in the mood for bold flavors, yet something that doesn’t involve too many ingredients or too much cooking time. No real recipe here - add as many or as little of the ingredients, as you like. I cooked dried black beans in my Instant Pot.

When I get a bout of travel nostalgia for Greece, this is what I make. We had this in Nafplio for the first time, (Nafplio is one of the most beautiful towns in the area of Argolis) & after that ordered it for every meal in Greece for the rest of the trip. It is just amazing! The best one I had was in Kalabaka (a small town famous for the Meteora monasteries) & this version is closest in flavor, texture and color to that one. I often use lima beans because they are easily available in my local stores (traditionally giant Greek beans are used) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1612024381408-FAFKE1ROWV7LKHUY3RJG/IMG_6217.jpg All Recipes - Greek-inspired “gigantes plaki” https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/easy-orzotto-with-chickpeas-spinach-and-dill monthly 0.5 2021-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1611950185862-PDI71O8EUMW0TAF3S9PL/image-asset.jpeg All Recipes - Easy Orzotto with Chickpeas, Spinach and Dill Get similar results for a creamy risotto simply by using orzo.

With the addition of cardamom & fresh fruits, these thin and delicate crepes are the perfect balance between a comforting fresh breakfast and complete and utter decadence. Had to try a couple of times to perfect the consistency & this one works really well! I think almond butter complements the cardamom flavor, way more than peanut butter. I’m not sure if that’s because I’m a huge fan of almond butter! Serves 4 Ingredients *1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, sifted *3/4 Tbsp corn starch, sifted *1 tbsp ground cardamom *1 tablespoon maple syrup * 1 cup of unsweetened dairy free milk (I used almond milk) *1/8 teaspoon salt *1 tsp lemon zest *1 tsp vanilla extract *3 Tbsp unsweetened vegan butter, melted *Unsalted vegan butter for cooking the crepes (I used Flora Plant butter) Toppings/flavor *Crunchy peanut/almond butter, as needed *Your favorite jam/jelly, as needed *Fresh fruits . Directions Mix together the milk maple syrup, melted butter, & vanilla extract in a large bowl Add the flour, cornstarch, lemon zest, salt, & ground cardamom to the bowl & whisk until well combined Leave the batter in the refrigerator for 15 minutes while you prepare the toppings & pre heat the pan Heat a medium skillet over medium-high, then brush with butter. Ladle about 1/3 cup batter into skillet & after about 2-4 seconds, lift the pan & swirl it to evenly coat bottom. Cook the crepe until the surface appears dry & the edges appear slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes Slide a spatula underneath crepe to loosen & flip. You can add some vegan butter, if you like, before you flip the crepe for some extra buttery flavor Cook on the other side until you see a few light brown spots about 15-20 seconds, then transfer to a plate. Cover with a kitchen towel while while you cook the remaining crepes. To serve 1. Spread each crepe with some jam and crunchy unsweetened almond butter & fold or roll them up 2. Top with fresh fruits . . https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/easy-lentil-and-bulgur-soup monthly 0.5 2021-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1632319896642-ESM67N3CBR4NXCMUTT7I/IMG_9490.JPG All Recipes - Easy Lentil and Bulgur Soup This soup is definitely on my list of “go-to easy weeknight recipes” and I especially love it with warm, crusty bread flavored with rosemary. Inspired by Turkish lentil soup, this soup gets a little kick from ground cayenne, extra fiber from the bulgur, and the carrot adds an unexpected sweetness. The olive oil drizzled on top is the star here, don’t skip it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1632320036588-VAXYM4USN0BUK9BPSPH5/IMG_9489.jpeg All Recipes - Easy Lentil and Bulgur Soup - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/1g16kp9euxayqz3gs0gqkdine1njo3 monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1607042046516-0MZLMKN9AYSVXOBBIGBF/IMG_3864.JPG All Recipes - 3-lentil soup with fresh herbs https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/creamy-penne-with-spinach-and-leek-1 monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1607041783173-NK7MWUTAKYVCT9Y7BEAZ/IMG_3116.JPG All Recipes - Creamy penne with spinach and leek https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/easy-collard-greens-stew monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1606957230727-1B7L7MYWVQMRMHK4KFU9/IMG_3885.JPG All Recipes - Easy collard greens stew https://www.yummyyatra.com/recipes/lablabi-chickpea-harissa-soup monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/1607233954482-5LCOMDB85IWAYOWBQ3M8/IMG_8281.JPG All Recipes - Lablabi (Chickpea Harissa Soup) This recipe is inspired by Lablabi, a hearty Tunisian soup that features chickpeas as a prominent ingredient and a ground spice mix, thus the resulting flavor and texture - amazing! My rendition is with crusty croutons that soak up the rich flavor of olive oil in which they are toasted. I love the flavor of harissa here, but if you only have smoked paprika, that works too.

globally-inspired plant-based meals Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I’m Anusha, the cook, writer, and photographer behind this space. I’m all about simple, globally inspired food—flavors gathered from travels, stories shared around tables, and recipes that feel both approachable and exciting. Growing up, I wasn’t often in the kitchen, but food was always at the center of everything—daily conversations, family moments, and the anticipation of the next meal. Somewhere along the way, I picked up that same love, and now this blog is where it all comes together: food, travel, and the stories that connect them. I’m endlessly curious about how dishes come to life—where they come from, how they evolve, and the memories tied to them. Traveling has deepened that curiosity, introducing me to new cultures, ingredients, and ways of cooking that continue to shape what I create. I’m the kind of person who gets genuinely excited wandering through local grocery stores and ethnic markets—discovering unfamiliar ingredients, picking up new spices, and imagining all the ways they might come together in a dish. Photography is a big part of how I tell these stories. My hope is that what you see here inspires you to step into your own kitchen, try something new, and enjoy the process just as much as the final dish. https://www.yummyyatra.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/7fee796c-f0f2-4158-a293-0f9991e0c2f5/Vegan+Treasures_CVR1024_1.jpg https://www.yummyyatra.com/new-page daily 0.75 2021-05-15 https://www.yummyyatra.com/breakfast daily 0.75 2021-07-17 https://www.yummyyatra.com/mains daily 0.75 2021-07-17 https://www.yummyyatra.com/sides daily 0.75 2021-07-17 https://www.yummyyatra.com/snacks daily 0.75 2021-07-17 https://www.yummyyatra.com/indian daily 0.75 2021-07-17 https://www.yummyyatra.com/sweet-treats daily 0.75 2021-07-17 https://www.yummyyatra.com/soups-salads daily 0.75 2021-07-17 https://www.yummyyatra.com/collections daily 0.75 2021-07-17 https://www.yummyyatra.com/book daily 0.75 2025-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed1e5aa0eac780e6abd57fa/7dfe6f4b-9bb0-488c-ae48-78d9be9cf063/Vegan+Treasures_CVR1024_1.jpg
