A Valentine’s Special dessert: Berry Panna Cotta ( Paleo)
Sometimes I wonder if there is too much hype surrounding Valentine’s Day. Don’t get me wrong…I am very much a romantic at heart! However I dislike how commercialization of Valentine’s Day by the marketeers has somehow made people hung up with the date of Feb 14th. Couples feel that they need to do special things only on this […]

Quinoa Masala Dosa (Rice and quinoa crepes with potato filling)
These dosas came out fabulous as good as the traditional ones with rice and urad dal. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. From Wells to Velcro and from tyres to test tube babies! Humans are a determined species indeed. And when someone who loves the typical south indian dosa made with rice and urad […]

Creamy Fruit Salad(Vegan)
Sweet and Spicy Rice Noodles with vegetables
Peanut and Curry Leaves Chutney
I had been meaning to make peanut chutney for the longest time now. A co-worke had brought this ‘lip smacking’ peanut chutney into work one day and ever since I had been pestering him to get the recipe from his wife. He did oblige shortly (or rather his sweet wife did) and then somehow between […]

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 […]
