Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Looking for an easy recipe that is a one pot and a complete meal? Most Sunday nights I make a big batch of soup. I make sure that the soup will have lots of veggies, good fats and protein. That way I can be sure that everyone eats their daily quota of veggies. I will […]
Fall is so beautiful…the colors, the weather and all the autumn vegetables! Yes I get equally excited about pumpkins and acorn squash as I get excited about blueberries in summer! I get too carried away sometimes! Like two weeks ago …when I hauled two large grocery bags from our local farmer’s market! Fresh beets and […]
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! As a kid, I loved the ‘Adas’ with the sweet coconut fillings. Yum! I have made a sweet potato version of these sweet coconut filling dumplings which you […]
Puttu is a breakfast food that originates from the southern Indian state of Kerala. It is usually made from rice flour. But a variation of that is using kappa (which is the malayalam word for cassava) and kappa puttu is mostly made using fresh kappa (cassava) since most households in kerala have cassava plants growing […]
Bone Broth has been in the forefront a lot these days with GAPS, Paleo, AIP and Keto diets all reinforcing its benefits. And rightfully so! Bone broth stock is a great place to find all of the valuable amino acids, collagen, gelatin and trace minerals. By regularly drinking bone broth or using it in recipes, you […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I love Thai food and it is really one of my favorite cuisines because the food is hot, spicy and tangy – the lemongrass smell is so therapeutic for me and there is nothing like a Tom Yum chicken soup when you are feeling a little under the weather. Slurp this delicious soup when its […]
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:)) […]
I have had this exotic cookbook ‘Cafe Morocco’ by Anisa Helou for quite a few years now and every now and then I will take it out of my cookbook shelf and lovingly browse through the recipes. I find something intensely magical and whimsy about Morocco. I can’t put my finger to it…perhaps its the […]
