In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients: sugar, vegetable oil, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sesame seeds, minced onion, poppy seeds until the sugar completely dissolves.

Leave it in the refrigerator until you use it. This salad dressing is good in the refrigerator for a week or so.

Let's make the salad. In a salad bowl add spinach, strawberries and walnuts or peanuts. Do not add nuts to this recipe if you are allergic to them.

Mix the salad dressing before you use it.

Pour dressing over salad, and refrigerate for about 15 minutes before serving. In case you want to serve chilled. But I prefer adding the salad dressing just before I eat my salad.

Chicken nuggets: My kids love chicken nuggets, they always make me buy them from fast food restaurants. Nuggets are great because you can munch on them at any time.

Dungeness crab masala fry

Today, I’m sharing my Dungeness Crab Masala fry recipe. I learned this recipe from my mom who is a fabulous cook. When I was small, I hated crabs. But once I tried I thought this was the best food I ever had. We Indians don’t just boil the crabs & eat them with butter. We cook crabs with lots of spices and masalas to make them tastier. Just follow this simple recipe and I bet you’ll love it too. Did you read my article about "How I clean Dungeness Crabs before Cooking", if not please check it out when you get a chance. Some of you wondered why I cleaned the crabs thoroughly before I cooked. The reason is, we cook the crabs with spices and a lot of the flavor will be on the outside of the shell so you will want to chew on the legs to get all the wonderful taste. This recipe is also available on my NewsBreak creator video and my channel name is "Sofia's Passion for Cooking". Please follow me on both for more tasty & easy recipes. Thanks!

Tea/Chai recipe

Tea/Chai: There are so many varieties of tea like plain black tea, ginger tea, tandoori tea, masala tea & so on. And each tea we make in a different way. But whatever tea we make, we’ll add milk into it. That’s the specialty in our Indian teas. Today I’m making plain tea which is very common in our house with our breakfast. I’ll share my recipes for other types of tea with you soon. The secret behind our Indian tea is, we use only black tea leaves which gives you a strong flavor & also gives a beautiful color when you add milk into it. You can make your tea strong, light, or creamy. I always love light tea so I brew the tea leaves in water. But you may brew them in milk instead.

Rose Cookies

Rose cookie is a famous South Indian snack made during festival seasons. It is called Achoo Murukku in the Tamil language. Murukku means twisted because of its shape and Achoo means Mold: Flower shaped mold is used to make Achoo Murukku. To make this snack you will need a cookie mold. Making this murukku is a little hard at first but all you need is some practice. The ingredients are very simple: rice flour, powdered sugar, egg, coconut milk, cardamom powder and oil to fry. If you are a vegan just skip the egg from this recipe & you can use just water instead of coconut milk, but coconut milk gives an extra flavor to this recipe. These classic cookies are obviously a great addition to your Easter menu. I really love to munch on these crispy beauties. They never fail to bring in the festive vibes. Try these scrumptious Rose Cookies (Achoo Murukku) and share your experience! Thanks for watching!

Homemade Turmeric Powder #DIY

We Indians use turmeric powder in almost all our dishes. It gives a gorgeous color to your dishes. It also has so many health benefits. I buy them in my local Indian grocery stores. But recently I also found them at BJ's Wholesale Club. You can use either an oven, dehydrator, or even the sun to dry turmeric. I use my dehydrator to dry my turmeric. I make small quantities and store them in a glass bottle. It stays fresh for up to one year in your pantry. If you keep these roots in your refrigerator you can prepare them at any time and never run out again. You can definitely see the difference between the store bought and homemade turmeric powder by its color.

Crack open a coconut at home

I always buy fresh coconuts from the supermarket for my cooking. I crack, shred, and make coconut milk for all my recipes. I know it’s a lot of work, but I love to use fresh ingredients when I cook for my family. You can also freeze any extra. But cracking a coconut was always a big challenge for me.
