About The Creator: Nidhi Khosla | @Ohmyvegggies I’m Nidhi Khosla, the creator behind OhMyVegggies. My love for cooking began at the age of nine, inspired by time spent in the kitchen with my parents — especially my father, an exceptional cook. Food was always where my curiosity and creativity felt most alive. Although life led me to a 15-year journey as an educator, the dream of becoming a chef quietly stayed with me. In 2023, encouraged by those around me, I finally listened to that inner voice and took a leap of faith. Today, I’m a full-time food creator, sharing simple, heartfelt recipes that carry comfort, nostalgia, and the kind of warmth that only home-style food can bring.

North Indian food would not be complete without the fragrant and hearty Punjabi garam masala. The “hot spice blend” in garam masala doesn’t really mean hot; rather, it describes the way it warms food, making it ideal for the chilly winters in Punjab. In traditional Punjabi cuisine, this masala is used to enhance the flavour and fragrance of hearty foods such as dals, meat curries, and sabzis. When the weather turns cold, the energy-balancing warming spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves are at their peak, making garam masala all the more essential. Here’s an easy-to-make Punjabi garam masala recipe for your ease.

Missi roti is a classic North Indian flatbread or roti known for combining wheat flour with lentils and spices for better nutrition and flavour. This version uses Aashirvaad Namma Chakki 100% Khapli Atta, an ancient emmer wheat flour valued for its high fibre, protein, iron, and Vitamin B1 content. Khapli wheat is also known for its low glycaemic index and lower gluten levels, making it a wholesome alternative to modern wheat. The addition of chana dal adds protein and gives the roti a slightly nutty texture. This recipe creates soft and hearty rotis that help you stay full for longer periods. Simple spices and fresh herbs provide warmth and aroma without overpowering traditional flavours. These missi rotis are perfect for everyday meals and pair well with both simple and rich Indian side dishes.
