 Bringing a little sunshine into your life on a rainy day is no easy task. But with some creativity, a little bit of effort, and these comforting brunch recipes, you may be able to enjoy a meditative Sunday afternoon. 

These four recipes will fill the house with delicious smells and keep your spirits up. You could even turn one of these into a movie marathon by pairing it with your favorite tv show or binge-watch on Netflix!

Gone are the days when looking for Indian masala was a tedious task! You can now buy masala online from Aazol, including goda masala, and try these recipes at home without any hassles. 

Instant No Yeast Naan

Tandoori Naan doesn't have to be available at your favorite Indian restaurant. You can make it yourself without yeast! You need flour, milk, lemon juice, and baking powder.

Mix flour and milk in a bowl. Stir in baking powder and combine dough until it's sticky. Cover with a clean cloth or paper towel and leave the dough to rest for an hour (or until doubled in size). Grease a pan with butter or oil and pour dough onto the pan. Bake for 15 minutes. 

You can pair this with chickpea curry or butter chicken to make it taste even better.

Vegan Chickpea Curry

Vegan chickpeas are cooked with a fragrant blend of spices and vegetables. You can buy a masala combo from Aazol to get the most out of the spices. This vegan chickpea curry is not just yummy but healthy too! 

On medium heat, sauté the onions and garlic until soft. Add the curry powder, tomato puree, and coconut milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer for 15 minutes, then add chickpeas and cook for an additional 15 minutes. You can serve this curry over cauliflower rice or quinoa.

Veggie-Loaded Butter Chicken Curry

This recipe is an excellent intro to Indian cooking. You can keep the heat low and take your time while sautéing the onions and garlic before adding the ginger, garam masala, turmeric, and paprika. Then you add the tomatoes and tomato puree before stirring in the milk. Add cubed butternut squash for a uniquely delicious twist! 

You can pair this delicious butter chicken curry with naan or even fried rice.

Vegan Curried Carrot Soup

This creamy vegan curried carrot soup is a hearty meal, making a perfect start to your weekend brunch! The recipe calls for a long list of spices, including cumin, coriander seeds, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and curry powder. On medium heat, sauté the onions until they're soft. Then add ginger and garlic and continue to cook for 5 minutes more until the mixture is fragrant. Add carrots, pears (or apples), coconut milk, water, and spices. Cook until carrots are tender for about 15 minutes.
