Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
I think I have mentioned many times before but I will say it again – Mexican food has always been my favorite cuisine and after starting AIP that’s the one I miss the most! But I am slowly making my AIP versions of my favorite recipes. I posted recently a recipe of Chicken tostadas which […]
“Me making a Mug Cake? No! That’s never going to happen!” Yes that was me until a few months ago! I really was against such sweet treats since I thought they would derail me from my healing journey. I also thought that cooking in a microwave oven was bad. Especially if you cooked stuff in […]
I have made a lot of different type of patties. In India we also liked to call them cutlets. Vegetable cutlets, Chicken cutlets, Shrimp cutlets and Beef Cutlets. They all have almost a similar base – mashed potatoes, onions, garlic, some spices and then dipped in egg wash and coated with bread crumbs. Shallow […]
I have probably said this before and will say it again – “Chocolate makes the world go around!” And there is something about ‘chocolate cake’ that makes everyone drool! And when it comes to both my children, they usually look for only one word in the dessert menu – yeah you guessed it – chocolate! […]
Gulab jamuns, literally translated as ‘rose scented’ balls are a traditional Indian dessert that is now famous all across the world. If you have ever visited any decent Indian restaurant, you would have definitely noticed ‘gulab jamuns’ on the menu! The mention of ‘Gulab jamuns’ always makes me feel hungry and I start salivating! The soft dough […]
OK so ever since I made those beef cutlets with a coconut crust, I have been thinking of using that technique to make other crispy coatings! I got my chance to try it again when hubby picked up squid last weekend while picking up seafood. I usually cook squid(calamari) Kerala Style which is to sauté it […]
Parippu Vada is something you will find in all tea stalls in Kerala along with the ubiquitous Pazham Pori or plantain fritters. I had posted the recipe for pazham pori before in a post where I shared some lovely pictures of Kerala. To me nothing says Kerala more than plates of pazaham pori and parippu […]
One pot dishes ? Now that’s my kind of dish! Easy to make, easy to serve and easy to clean up. A busy mom’s best friend and ideal for weeknights! I rely on shrimp a lot when it comes to weeknight quick meals. My hand quickly reaches for that shrimp pack in the freezer when I have […]
Quinoa, pronounced as ‘kin wah’ is not a true grain but is high in protein and is also gluten-free. Hence it has become sort of the new rage because it provides a great option for folks who are on gluten free diets. It is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is also […]
Idli is another breakfast item from the South indian kitchen, which is a close cousin and a healthier version(since they are steamed) of the Dosas. The batter for the two are very similar with slight differences. In fact one can make idles or dosas interchangeably with the same batter too making slight modifications. You need […]
Dosas are a South Indian specialty food that is craved by all Indians, irrespective of which place in india they belong to. Traditionally, Dosas (and Idlis)are breakfast items from the South indian kitchen. However, they have slowly and steadily made their way and their mark as appetizers/snacks or even as main course meals. Dosas […]
