Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Happy Diwali to all! May the New Year bring health and happiness through out the world. This year because of COVID-19, everyone has veep stuck at home and now it’s almost the end of the year! For us Diwali starts off the holiday season. This year I have been so busy with my consulting practice […]
Mangoes are my most favorite fruit. Yes there is nothing like mangoes! Anything goes when it’s mangoes 🙂 Yes I love to eat it as is! Love to make it into a lassi…or a smoothie…or just as mango pulp/puree to be had with pooris (deep fried bread)! My ‘Mango Pie‘ is pretty famous among our […]
Rotis or Chapatis are an essential component of Indian cuisine. And that’s because you need some kind of bread to sop up all those delicious curries and stews correct? One of the things that helped me stay compliant on AIP early on was my discovery of cassava flour and the fact that I could […]
This curry is Paleo, Whole30 and can be easily made AIP compliant! There are so many different varieties of shrimp curry originating from Kerala. And growing up, my mom used to make all of them! Shrimp is often combined with some starchy vegetable like green plantains or taro root or yam. The traditional Keralan […]

Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken are two quintessential Indian ‘curry’ dishes that you will always find in all Indian restaurants. Are these authentic Indian dishes? Not necessarily so. Are they really popular? Like heck they are! Among the non-Indian populace that is! I personally would never order either of these dishes even in […]
Tandoori Chicken is such a quintessential Indian dish that ALL Indian restaurants have that on their menu without fail! It also never fails to impress! The tenderness of the meat combined with the flavors of ginger, garlic, lime and of course the smoky flavor that comes from the ‘tandoor’ or the clay oven. Sounds […]
Yes it is that time of the year again! The festival season! Being a transplant from India settled in the US, the holiday season for us starts from September itself! Our celebrations first begin with Onam which is a harvest festival celebrated by southern Indians (yes that would be us 🙂 ) followed by Diwali […]
Festival season is the most challenging when you are on a restrictive diet! The Indian Festival season just started with ‘Ganesh Chathurthi’ which celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha.

Ada is a traditional keralan food where different kinds of stuffings are stuffed inside a rice flour dough and then steamed by wrapping them in banana leaves!
