We do have dosa at home, but I can never pass up this dosa from Thiru when I see him in Washington Square Park. A lot of people ask me for NYC recommendations — bookmark nydosas for your next trip, or for your next sunny weekend adventure if you live here. 2025-09-06 22:09:59 We do have dosa at home.. 52,664 +216% 692 +118%
Who knows what I am plating here? I’ll give you a hint: this is one of the dishes from Padma’s All American that was featured on Taste the Nation season 2 episode 2. Any guesses on what other dishes made it into the book? Tell me in the comments! 📖You can pre-order signed copies of Padma’s All American at the link in bio! 2025-09-06 05:00:00 Who knows what I.. 7,581 -54% 155 -51%
I am saddened to hear of Mr Armani’s passing. His legacy is monumental both in women’s and men’s fashion. Mr Armani was always elegant, always kind. And what a work ethic he had. Sui generis. The last time he dressed me, he even sent flowers to say thank you—to me (!) commenting on how he and his niece loved the way I looked. Such a gentleman. My heart goes out to his whole family. A tall tree has fallen in our forest. RIP 2025-09-05 04:59:34 I am saddened to .. 5,949 -64% 46 -86%

It’s Virgo season, and I have a lot of Virgos in my life. My grandmother’s birthday would be today, and my mom’s is tomorrow—so you can wish the whole clan a happy birthday! In the spirit of birthdays, I wanted to share a sneak peek of this Strawberry-Cardamom and Cream Cake from Padma’s All-American. I hardly ever make cakes, but when I do, it’s this one!! Can’t wait to share it with you! Pre-order at the link in bio. The photograph (like most in the book) was taken by charitylburggraaf. 2025-09-03 05:00:00 It’s Virgo .. 17,856 +7% 284 -11%
I’m so grateful for this last year around the sun. It’s been productive professionally and also very moving to watch #Littlehands start high school and continue to blossom. I’m so grateful that all of you have joined and supported me on this roller-coaster ride. Two years ago, I took a leap, and there was so much that was unknown. Would I work again? What would the future bring? I’ve been pivoting and plotting the next phase of my life—and it’s here now. As I celebrate this birthday, I’m so thankful I’m about to create a new show, all my own, with amazing people around me working hard to bring you something that’s entertaining, engaging, and informative. And I’m also about to publish my 8th book. So this coming year will be full of blessings too. I couldn’t have done any of this without you all cheering me on. Thank you, and happy birthday to me! 2025-09-02 05:00:00 I’m.. 46,622 +180% 1,149 +261%
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 of sweet, spicy, sour, and salty flavors that burst in your mouth with a variety of textures and temperatures all at once. There’s a lot that goes into each chaat, and every chaatwala has their own method and recipes – but most chaats are vegetarian! This particular chaat was inspired by a fruit chaat that I had while on a foodtourindelhi led by chefrajeevgoyal. 2025-08-29 05:05:48 A perfect sweet-and.. 7,815 -53% 126 -60%
Jeyamohan is a writer, who like my family, straddles Tamil Nadu and Kerala (Tamil and Malayalam languages). Sadly I don’t read well enough in tamil to enjoy his original writing, so I’m thankful for this translation and thought you might be too. He is a beloved writer for many of us. And a special thank you to his translator as well! 2025-08-28 04:54:46 Jeyamohan is a writer.. 8,537 -49% 126 -60%
Yes!! I am having a book tour for the new cookbook! A lengthy one I may add, so please check out the dates and let me know in the comments if I will see you on the road! All tickets are on sale now and can be accessed through my website (link in bio) — with the exception of Boston, Miami, and the 12/9 New York event. Those will be available soon. 2025-08-26 05:00:00 Yes!! I am having a boo.. 6,743 -60% 297 -7%
I’m not into extreme detoxes, juicing, or most of that stuff, but I found a natural TOPICAL way to help flush out water retention and bloating. If you feel a bit bloated from enjoying life this summer, or just have your period (I can often bloat a cup size), and you’re hoping to still feel confident in your bathing suit, this essential oil concoction has helped me prepare for swimsuit and lingerie shoots over the years. THIS IS AN OIL BLEND TO USE IN YOUR BATH OR AS A MASSAGE OIL. THIS IS NOT FOR DRINKING BUT please be mindful to drink a lot of water to flush out your system and stay hydrated—it’s not a miracle worker, obviously, but it will help get rid of some excess water. ALWAYS TEST IT OUT ON A SMALL PATCH OF SKIN TO MAKE SURE YOU’RE NOT ALLERGIC. I find it works well when combined with a healthy diet (with some fun cheats) and regular workouts. But regardless—bloated or not—get in that bathing suit, jump in the water, and have fun, because summer is fleeting and life is short. 2025-08-25 05:00:00 I’m not int.. 46,197 +177% 1,138 +258%

Bug repellent made from essential oils — and it smells so good you won’t need perfume! Another oil that I did not use here that would also work is citronella.

Rasam is a quintessential South Indian soup. This elixir is ladled out to any sick child or woebegone adult. It can be sipped at the start of a meal or served as a second course, mixed with rice and ghee. While I can’t actually be standing in your kitchen while you make this, I can offer you the recipe in Padma’s All American. In fact, there’s an additional version of rasam made with seafood—a riff on the French classic, moules provençales. You can pre-order the book from the link in my bio! 2025-08-08 05:00:00 Rasam is a quint.. 6,233 -63% 127 -60%

For the better part of seven years, I’ve been chipping away at this book project. So, to finally see it in its bound version for the first time feels incredibly moving. Finishing any kind of book and putting it out into the world can feel like a miracle. This particular book involved the help of many—both in and out of my kitchen. It feels surreal to finally be able to turn the pages physically rather than scroll through them on a computer screen. Regardless of our technological advances and the internet, there’s nothing like holding a real cookbook in your hands. This isn’t just a collection of recipes gathered on the road during the last five years of filming Taste the Nation and Top Chef—it’s a deeply personal scrapbook, also filled with pictures and essays from the last seven years of my life. I cannot wait for the day (November 4th!) when you can hold it in your hands too. Pre-order at the LINK IN BIO. And YES, there are signed copies! If you purchase them now from Kitchen Arts & Letters (kalnyc), a local independent bookstore that’s very close to my heart, they’ll ship on November 4th. 2025-08-05 05:00:00 For the b.. 13,909 -17% 453 +42%
Making a Tadka in Hindi, or Poorichukotal in Tamil, is a common practice in South Asian cooking. It’s often used to finish a dish. It’s also referred to as “tempering spices”. Frying spices in oil or ghee extracts and amplifies the flavors of the spices you’re using. Learning this step is essential to many of my recipes, including the thayir sadam that I shared with you yesterday! Also a tadka is great way to give steamed rice some personality. Just toss the finished tadka well with the cooled, cooked rice. How familiar are you with this method? 2025-08-04 05:00:00 Making a Tadka .. 8,852 -47% 145 -54%
