Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I am sure at least some of you are still planning menus just like me even though most of you might be one step ahead and are all set with your menu and your shopping! Well for me the activity starts right from October since we celebrate Dassera and […]
Gajar ka Halwa is a special Indian dessert made from carrots (Gajar means carrots in Hindi) that has a texture somewhat in between a porridge and a fudge. Grated carrots stewed with milk and sugar until all the milk evaporates off leaving a soft and fudgy mixture that tastes like caramelized carrots and milk. Just […]
Thank God for Cassava flour. Cassava parathas / tortillas are what makes me stick to my grain free diet. Because I cannot imagine life without curry. And these parathas help me stay sane. Being a ‘pro’ at making rotis since a young age, rolling these flatbreads is not at all daunting to me fortunately 🙂 […]
Doesn’t the title make you drool? I don’t know how I got this idea but one day I was sitting eat my lunch browsing through a recipe magazine, the kind that you get at the grocers these days and I saw a pic of ‘chicken and dumpling soup’ which made me drool. And then I […]
I don’t eat pork that often but this curry is the only way I like to eat it! Growing up, my parents never cooked pork at home and we had it occasionally only at our friends’ homes or when we visited Kerala and my grandma made it. My grandma’s pork vindaloo was the best […]
Traditional recipes like these are what make me feel good about blogging my recipes. Until last year, I did not know that we could cook colocasia stems! Having been raised in Bombay instead of Kerala where my parents are from, I somehow missed this seasonal curry in our annual vacations to Kerala! What a tragedy […]
Ever since I started doing Paleo and AIP, a lot of the Indian street foods went out of my kitchen window! But slowly each one is making its way back … of course, with some make-overs 🙂 Ha Ha. That’s me, you see I love to eat and I am not too lazy or shy […]

Beef and Potatoes anyone? And what if the beef is cooked in a sauce/curry made from toasted coconut and curry spices like fennel and coriander? Hmm…can you imagine the aromas! This traditional Keralan(Kerala is a coastal state in southern India) Beef Curry is usually slow cooked with either yams or taro root (yes, no potatoes:)) […]
Chapati or Roti, is a staple of Indian cuisine. After all, the delicious creamy curries need a sturdy vehicle to sop them all up! Although rice is more commonly eaten in a typical southern Indian household (as in ours) , whole wheat rotis do have an important place too. Nowadays, for my family I make […]
Batata Vada or Spicy Potato fritters is the type of food that teases your taste buds! Mashed potatoes are mixed with green chillies, cilantro and some spices and then dipped in batter and deep fried! How can anyone say no to that right? And especially when you grew up in a region where these fritters […]
One of the wonderful elements of Indian cuisine is the presence of pickles, relishes and chutneys! Having any of these on your plate can elevate even the simplest of all meals into something extraordinary! Indian pickles are quite different from their western counterpart in that these are sour and spicy in addition to being salty. […]
