Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Today being the auspicious Chinese New Year, I thought I will post a recipe for a Chicken dish that is a fusion of Indian and Chinese flavors! I also have an amusing story below to go with it (that is if you care to read 🙂 )…meanwhile I would like to wish everyone a very […]
Biryani as I have mentioned before in my Chicken Biryani post is a ‘labor of love’! The meat needs to be marinated perfectly and then cooked with the right blend of spices and then layered with rice and baked again for a perfect balance of flavors. With chicken, you can do the ‘one pot’ quick […]
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 […]
Our ancestors did not just eat the meat of animals. They also ate the organs like liver, heart, brains and even testicles! Organ meat are one of the most nutrient dense foods and can be a great addition to your diet. They’re packed with nutrients, such as vitamin B12 and folate, and they’re also an […]
It is amazing how many new foods you come across when you are on a restricted diet.! Starting on a grain free diet 10 months ago, I was a little apprehensive on how long I would be able to stick to it. But believe me, I have come across so many new grain free options […]
I recently started eating Flounder and I love its delicate flavor and its soft, flaky texture. Since it doesn’t have a strong flavor of its own, it can easily take in the flavor of the marinade the you cook it in. So I have been experimenting cooking it with different spices. It tastes great just […]
Mexican food had always been my favorite! I could eat a bean taco any day especially if it was nicely slathered in ‘hot sauce’ and with a dollop of sour cream on the side! Hence, since starting on Paleo a year ago, I had not had a proper Mexican meal. And the past 6 months […]
Shrimp is an all time favorite of mine! My parents having been born and raised so close to the coast in Kerala, shrimp was my amma’s ‘go to’ ingredient for added flavor. Yes she would add prawns in even vegetable dishes to enhance the flavor!. And boy that sure got us kids to eat all […]
When it comes to eating fish, I don’t think any other state in India can beat the Bongs (bengalis) or the Mallus (Keralites) 🙂 I am so relieved that my naturopath has asked me to continue eating fish as it is beneficial for me. So be prepared for a deluge of fish recipes! Nothing can stop […]
This is an egg dish that my amma used to make and I have not yet seen this same version of the dish anywhere else. I think the potatoes was amma’s own addition to the original coconut curry recipe from Kerala. This curry, just like all other Kerala dishes, tastes best with fresh coconut milk […]
If you like Chicken and if you eat Chinese take out, you would have certainly tried ‘Kung pao’ chicken. Kung Pao chicken is a fiery chicken stir fry dish with peanuts which has red chillies for the heat. Just like any other chinese take-out it tastes great while piping hot and when you are really […]
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, […]
