Our goal is to create a joyful, vibrant independent living community for elder adults. And what’s one thing that always brings friends and neighbors together? Good food and even better company! Whether you whip something up to serve everyone or invite them to join in on a cooking party, you’ll all be sure to enjoy this dish.

Sharing Food With Friends in Community Living

The first thing I ever learned to cook was the quintessential Punjabi dish aloo gobi. Aloo gobi (literally "potatoes and cauliflower") is an old favorite in almost every household, especially mine!

If you tried my Khichdee recipe last month you know you’re in for a real treat. And if you haven’t, try this anyway because my recipes are the talk of the town! If you make this, let us see. Tag your photo @priyaliving or use the hashtag #priyaliving on Instagram.
