Welcome!

Hi I'm Jill! Welcome to Sweet Simple Masala!

what is Sweet Simple Masala all about?

Its a place where I share sweet & simple recipes with a pinch of masala!

You will find recipes for your sweet tooth, simple and easy recipes for those crazy days, and even recipes that are both easy but also sweet! But most importantly, you'll always find recipes that are spiced up with some masala (spice)!

how this all started

Have you ever gotten into the cooking rut? You know, where you can't figure out exactly what to make or what you're craving to eat! You can't decide on a cuisine or a flavor or even a single ingredient you want to use!!

Believe me, I've been there a million times! And it is because of those indecisive days, that I create most of my recipes. Instead of deciding on just one cuisine, I try to come up with something new! Instead of meatballs, I make chicken tikka masala meatballs. Instead of samosas, I made chipotle chicken samosas.

A little bit about myself

I’m an engineer by profession. I got married to my college sweetheart and we have 2 kids, who completely run my life now! I share my love of food, adventure, travel and crafts with my husband. Now we are sharing our interests with our little ones!

I started this blog to show how my husband and I fuse different styles of cuisines in our home. We both grew up eating Indian food with a slight integration of American foods. Every pasta or pizza we made at home growing up was always spiced up with some Indian spices. I guess we both got used to experimenting with different spices and flavors to make our own recipes. Now we’ve broadened our palates through our travels, so in our kitchen we try to incorporate different cuisines in the recipes we create. We love mixing spices from different areas of the world to make our own fusion creations.
