Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Prawns or shrimp are one of the most common and popular seafood item in my kitchen. You will agree with this I am sure since I have probably posted about a dozen shrimp recipes too here on my blog already. Shrimp is so easy to work with and so versatile. You cannot go wrong with […]
A Kerala sadya (feast) is not complete without the ‘Inji Pulli’ (also called Pulli Inji) which is a sweet,sour and hot chutney made using fresh grated ginger,tamarind,j aggery and chillies. Just the mention of the ingredients makes your mouth water, right? Yum. This chutney actually is very beneficial to the digestive process and enables you […]
One pot dishes ? Now that’s my kind of dish! Easy to make, easy to serve and easy to clean up. A busy mom’s best friend and ideal for weeknights! I rely on shrimp a lot when it comes to weeknight quick meals. My hand quickly reaches for that shrimp pack in the freezer when I have […]
It’s Onam again! And I should say Onam week since Onam is perhaps the only Indian festival that lasts for 10 days! Of course only folks in Kerala still get a chance to celebrate it for 10 days. Less privileged ones like us have to wait for the weekend. But celebrate we will. And how? By cooking an […]

It is Monday night and I am just about to type my post that I meant to post last Friday. Where did my weekend go? I am increasingly feeling that a 2 day weekend is not sufficient. Especially when the weather is so great outside. When you have so much to do! Soccer games to […]
I don’t know about you but I cannot help but feel amazed by the ‘food information explosion’ that we have been witnessing in the past 2-3 years. And of course I don’t mean that in a bad light at all. I just feel that over the last years there has been such a phenomenal increase in […]
Green Papayas are a common vegetable in Kerala and consequently ‘Papaya thoran’ is one of many vegetable dishes in the typical Keralan household. The Papaya fruit is a highly nutritious fruit and an excellent source of vitamin C, folate, vitamin A, magnesium, copper, pantothenic acid and fiber. It also has B vitamins, alpha and beta carotene, lutein and zeaxanthan, […]
I did a guest post for Elaine from foodbod this week. And of course since this was for Elaine it had to be vegetarian, gluten free and healthy! So I thought of making this red chori (adzuki beans) and pumpkin curry. Check out my recipe by visiting Elaine’s blog where you will find hundreds of other […]
What’s your favorite kind of food? If asked that question, I know it’s a little hard to come up with an answer ..one answer that is! OK so how if I ask you – what’s your favorite kind of appetizer? Appetizers are ‘teaser’ foods’, irresistible…where one cannot control the urge to grab a bite! As for me, […]
While growing up I did not mind helping my amma in the kitchen when she was cooking although I did not like to do any other household chores per se (especially washing dishes or clothes! ). One thing that I also did not like doing was to clean the greens and chop them for making […]
