Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
The family has a new name for me – ‘sneaky mom’ 🙂 Can’t blame them …I have been really on a roll lately adding spinach and carrot to idlis, then adding beets to the vegan chocolate cake I baked last weekend. So anyways I am happy with the title and the family is not really complaining. […]
Spicy Stuffed buns! Veggie Stuffed buns! One a penny, Two a penny, Tasty Stuffed buns! One of the Sri Lankan recipes that I had bookmarked a few weeks ago was these breakfast buns stuffed with a spicy onion filling. The onion and red chili filling in these buns is actually ‘seeni sambol’ which is a spicy onion chutney very popular in Sri […]
‘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. […]
Growing up in Mumbai we ate spring rolls quite often and mostly at ‘Indochinese joints’ spread across the city suburbs. These were mostly vegetable spring rolls which had a tasty filling of shredded veggies like cabbage,spring onions etc mixed with noodles and had a liberal seasoning of pepper and soy sauce. In the US the Chinese spring […]
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 […]

What do you folks think of the expression ‘Healthy indulgence’? Does that even make sense? Is that even possible? Or is it an oxymoron? The dictionary defines indulgence as ‘yielding to an inclination or desire’… ‘To allow oneself to follow one’s will’. By that token, any kind of ‘desired’ activity could be your weakness and whenever […]
Happy Diwali to all! May the festival of lights light up your homes with love,good health and joy. And may it fire up your kitchen with enough warmth to provide comforting and indulgent foods through out the year for your family.! Keep it simple. Minimal ingredients and fewer steps. That seems to be my new mantra […]
It is Pumpkin galore! Last fall I had made ‘baked Pumpkin donuts’ that the kids had just loved (and devoured). So this year again my munchkins were demanding the same. Being a blogger mom, I needed to make it even better for them right? And so what did I do? I added chocolate to the batter […]
How do you get those little monsters to eat their veggies? Easy! – By shredding the veggies of your choice (even if not necessarily theirs) and covering them with soft cream cheese and spreading that on tortillas and making a wrap! They will be so enjoying the cream cheese that the veggies won’t even be noticed. […]
It’s apple season once again! We didn’t go apple picking this year but since I have joined our local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), we get loads of fresh fruits and veggies every week.
