What the heck is falooda?

“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.” – Anonymous As always with my creations, I was struggling to get the right name for these babies too! They look so cute …what should I call them? Cutie Pie tarts? or So-good-for-you tarts? Well, what’s in a name right? Whatever you decide to call […]
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, […]
Just like Pizza, I had thought pasta had gone out of my life too. But if you read my last post, you must have seen how I made ‘cauliflower pizza‘ and also a red tomato free sauce to spread over it? Well that sauce was dynamite guys …I should probably bottle it and sell it:) […]

My earlier post on smoothies really talks about why smoothies are good for you and also gives you plenty of ideas to create your own smoothies. With […]
Living in the New England area has its own charms. And the severe winter is not one of them. Having transplanted ourselves to the US all the way from India two decades ago now, one would think we would be well-seasoned and ‘conditioned’ to the harsh weather. Not me. The only thing I like about […]
Chaat masala? What the heck is that?Don’t worry this is not a complicated curry recipe! Chaat Masala is just a blend of different spices with a prominent tangy taste and a slight touch of heat from black peppers. Trust me when I tell you…It is ‘freaking finger-licking’ good! I think I won’t be wrong if […]
So I had seen this recipe for Chocolate Fruit Cake by Southern-in-law, which looked very enticing. It was a refined sugar free and gluten free recipe. Last year I had baked an Indian Style Christmas Cake which is brown in color not due to chocolate but due to caramelization of sugar. In India it is commonly […]
