Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Biryani as I have mentioned before in my Chicken Biryani post is a ‘labor of love’! The meat needs to be marinated perfectly and then cooked with the right blend of spices and then layered with rice and baked again for a perfect balance of flavors. With chicken, you can do the ‘one pot’ quick […]
This is an egg dish that my amma used to make and I have not yet seen this same version of the dish anywhere else. I think the potatoes was amma’s own addition to the original coconut curry recipe from Kerala. This curry, just like all other Kerala dishes, tastes best with fresh coconut milk […]
Idiappam is one of the many breakfast dishes of Kerala. Rice noodles made from scratch and steam cooked in small rounds/mounds to resemble idlis. For breakfast they are often paired with egg curry. Another way to eat these for breakfast is by dipping in slightly sweetened coconut milk. Yum! That is still my favorite way […]
These 3 ingredient easy rolls are so yummy! A few weeks ago while shopping at our local supermarket, I noticed these date nut rolls displayed in cute little packages in the middle of the produce aisle. ‘Neat’ I said to myself and also made a mental note that I had to try making them. Of […]
The week before last week, our kitchen truly had the ‘international’ theme going on the entire week! Started with the Japanese meal on Monday which I posted last week and then mid week we had falafels and then ending with thai noodles on Friday. The days in between we had Indian and Mexican.! How wonderful isn’t it? For the […]
‘Idlis’ are quite healthy as is. Made with Rice and Urad dal these are steamed – so no oil or fat involved and the batter being fermented, they are light on the stomach too. Because of their high nutrition value and also because they are a little bit like finger food, kids usually like it. […]
Ok so the holidays are officially here! Next two days are for baking holiday treats. Love to do that with the kids. After all that’s what holidays are for right? Spending more time with the kids….letting go of all the stress… Being with friends…And partying! There is definitely going to be food. Too much of it. Almost […]
If you like Chicken and if you eat Chinese take out, you would have certainly tried ‘Kung pao’ chicken. Kung Pao chicken is a fiery chicken stir fry dish with peanuts which has red chillies for the heat. Just like any other chinese take-out it tastes great while piping hot and when you are really […]
Creamy ..Dreamy …Yummy…just fabulous! That about describes this ice cream made with cream cheese, fresh strawberries and oreo cookie crumbs! You can’t go wrong with these ingredients can you? You may recall that last summer I had made an ice cream with cream cheese and blueberries which had won the hearts of all my family […]
Happy 4th of July folks! July is here and there are so many things to love about summer! For me the best things in summer apart from the lovely weather are arrival of fresh vegetables and fruits – the berries, fruits and all the summer vegetables. This year I didn’t do much vegetable gardening since […]
