Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
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 […]
Beef Cutlets are a specialty of Kerala’s Christian community. Growing up in Mumbai, we had ‘Mallu (short for malayalee which in turn means someone who belongs to Kerala 🙂 ) Christian’ neighbors. Kunjimol aunty always hosted great parties – be it Christmas or Easter or her kids’ birthday parties! One of the appetizer dishes was […]
Shrimp is an all time favorite of mine! My parents having been born and raised so close to the coast in Kerala, shrimp was my amma’s ‘go to’ ingredient for added flavor. Yes she would add prawns in even vegetable dishes to enhance the flavor!. And boy that sure got us kids to eat all […]
Super Bowl was this past weekend and game night is synonymous with lots of food. This year we hosted the party for our neighborhood friends at our home. Folks signed up to bring different kinds of appetizers and dips. We had a good balance of junk food with healthful foods – grilled vegetables and salads made for […]
Did I read ‘A healthy recipe challenge’? Wow, now that’s the kind of thing that gets my attention! And a challenge hosted by dear Angie of Fiesta Friday? Now that is one that I cannot ignore, can I? Especially considering the fact that for the last 18 months I have been scouring for knowledge combing through […]
To (eat) Beef or not (eat) Beef? A lot of us folks I am sure ponder about this question. Growing up beef was not cooked in our home. But we did eat some very delicious beef curry on a routine basis at our close family friends’ home. They were Kerala Christians and hence Beef was […]
OK not going to babble much here. Thanksgiving is tomorrow! One by one the dishes are coming together. We are celebrating as usual with our close friends – we are all a big family 🙂 So I have signed up for only a couple. But you know me, I do have to make an extra […]
This is what memorable summers are made of ! Ok, so about a week ago, my blogger friend Chef Ronit who blogs at ‘Tasty Eats’ posted a recipe for spicy Crispy Chicken Wings which looked so good that I instantly knew I wanted to replicate her recipe. The most intriguing part of her recipe to me was […]
In our family, we do have some differences when it comes to food preferences…but there is one thing that we all have in common and that’s our love for seafood! Oh boy, I am so glad that our kids have both developed a palate for fish just like my husband and I. We love our seafood in […]
Sometimes we crave for a dish that we have tasted long ago somewhere. At least I do that often 🙂 In most cases, I also remember the ‘where’ and ‘when’. Yeah I am a little weird like that. I remember what some folks would call as ‘trivial’, unimportant details such as what dress I was […]
Morocco fascinates me. I don’t know much about the country except that it is in North Africa but it fascinates me. The cuisine with a mix of North African, Middle Eastern and European influences sounds too, too exotic to me! Oh how I would love to visit there sometime! To appease my inquisitiveness for now, I […]
One of my favorite street foods in Mumbai is the ‘Vada Paav’ or the poor man’s burger which is made with potatoes and chick pea flour. Vada Paav is as basic to Mumbai as cheese burger is to America. It is the most ubiquitous street food in Mumbai and you can find it almost at every […]
