Tiny shrimp were mostly reserved for such vegetable dishes where a handful of them were enough to impart lots […]
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 […]
Having been gluten free for about two years now, tacos had become a thing of the past for me. I was rolling around and learning to live life without them. Until I discovered cassava flour that is! Yes, Yes cassava flour that is made from yucca (also called as tapioca or cassava). Now this is […]

Dill is one herb (the only one perhaps) that I took a long time to appreciate. May be because it was not available in western India where I grew up. And Dill being so different from some of the other herbs that I was used to like cilantro and mint, it took a while before I […]

Its amazing how creative you can get when you are forced to be on a restrictive diet. As a kid, ‘Kozhukkatta’ used to be the occasional sweet treat my mom would make for us. Usually she would make it as an evening snack to be had with tea. I loved these dumplings made with rice flour […]
