    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.  

    you can always reach out to me!

    If you have any questions about any recipes, feel free to reach out!

    Costco granola find! I grabbed a bag of the OneDeg Costco granola find! I grabbed a bag of the OneDegree Organic Supergrain Granola from my
local Costco this week and it is time to get creative with some delicious recipes!
Supergrain Granola is made with sprouted oat clusters with quinoa and chia seeds. Making it a
super nutrient packed snack that provides sustained energy. The granola is organic and made
with quality ingredients.
I made a quick and delicious berry parfait with the supergrain granola. But I also loved simply
snacking on the oat clusters straight out of the bag! They are so crunchy and delicious, and not
to mention guilt-free! I can’t wait to try this granola on my smoothie bowls, over salads and in
baking!
You can find this granola in select Costco locations in the US.

    #ad What better way to kick off holiday baking thi #ad What better way to kick off holiday baking this year than Hot Cocoa Cookies topped with marshmallows!
These chocolate cookies will definitely get you in the spirit of the holidays with the sweet addition of hot cocoa mix. Top them with marshmallows at the very end of baking and they are perfectly gooey! Who can resist these?!
I always reach for the best baking flour, @bobsredmill Organic All-Purpose Flour or Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour for all my holiday baking!
