Tara Recipes

This is a great meal to grab when you are on th run or when you are too hungry to cook.

These are easy and nutritious and taste great dipped in your favorite marinara. The filling can be adjusted to your tastes, and although this recipe uses pre-made pizza dough, you can make it easily with a little yeast, honey and flour (this will add about a half hour to the prep time)

This is a delicious restaurant quality basmati rice. So good. It's worth stopping at an ethnic food store to find black cardamom but you can substitute green cardamom if need be. Please note some of the spices are not included in the calorie breakdown as they don't contribute any calories.

The trick to this recipe is the soaking and the very slow heating. Don't rush it.

A not-too-rich version of sag paneer. Paneer is an Indian cheese which doesn't melt; you can find it in local Indian groceries. Methi (dried fenugreek leaves) are a MUST for this dish.
