A perfect sweet-and-sour summer dish to use up the abundance of stone fruit we have right now. This plum chaat is one of the simplest but most delightful recipes in my upcoming cookbook, Padma’s All American. For those who may be new here, chaat is Indian street food that is usually made with a variety of fried ingredients (sev papdi, samosa) and boiled ingredients (potatoes, chickpeas), and topped with various spices, chutneys, and herbs. What makes chaat exciting to me is the intense mingling

This one’s for everyone out there with too many zucchinis accumulating in their fridge! I developed this recipe after finding myself in that exact predicament—and I love it so much, it made it into Padma’s All American. If you haven’t tried making a dish with raw zucchini before, this is a great place to start. 🥒 Pre-order at the link in bio! | Padma Lakshmi

Podimas! Yet another recipe that you’ll find in Padma’s All American! Traditionally served in dosas, these potatoes also make a great side dish. Especially if you want to replace mashed potatoes on the Thanksgiving table— this recipe is a vegan option! Who has gotten the book yet? What do you think? | Padma Lakshmi

This red onion chutney is so delicious and versatile! Traditionally, it’s served with dosa or mixed into hot rice with butter—but I also love it paired with goat cheese or Manchego for a tangy punch on a cheese plate or in a grilled cheese! 🧅 This recipe is one of fourteen condiments (I told you I love condiments!!) in my new cookbook, Padma’s All American, now available for pre-order at the link in my bio! | Padma Lakshmi

My carbonara recipe only has 5 ingredients, so it’s the timing and technique that are important to learn. This recipe is included in my next cookbook, Padma’s All American, but here is a little preview of the carbonara process. Something to note - this carbonara might be different than what you’re used to, but I spent 6 years in Italy and that is where I developed it over time. Pre-order my book!!

I spent an afternoon sharing recipes with the fantastic @chefmilliepeartree. We both have a shared interest in fitness and wanted to cook meals that can fit into a busy schedule and feel good before or after a workout! Meen moilee (or fish curry) is not only light and protein packed but it is one of my go to comfort foods. Check back in later this week to see what dish Millie taught me! #meenmoilee #indianfood #healthybites #inthekitchen | Padma Lakshmi

A recipe so warm, comforting, and virtuous. Ribollita means “reboiled” in Italian and it is essentially a catch-all stew to repurpose leftovers. I keep mine packed with as many vegetables as I can! | Padma Lakshmi
