Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Nothing like warm crispy Pakoras(also called as pakodas or bhajias) and hot seaming chai on a rainy, gloomy day! It is funny that today as I sit down to write this recipe post, it is actually a very rainy day and it has been raining cats and dogs non stop for 8 hours since morning! […]
One of the foods recommended in Ayurveda during winters is sesame seed. Sesame seeds are a power house of nutrients. Seeds contain all the starting materials necessary to develop into complex plants. Because of this, they are extremely nutritious. When consumed as part of a healthy diet, seeds can help reduce blood sugar.They are a good […]
These grain free pancakes are delish! I was not sure what to call them – ‘plantain’ pancakes or ‘banana’ pancakes since these are made of plantain flour and have bananas added in the batter 🙂 Well whatever the name, these are indeed very very tasty and I love to have these for breakfast. Now let […]
Happy New Year dearies! The past two weeks have been surreal – everything happening in ‘slow motion’ ….so, so relaxing! A mini reunion with my college girl friends in the charming town of New Orleans followed by another relaxing jaunt in Miami and Key West with the family was exactly what I needed to recharge […]
How are y’all doing? Christmas is less than a week away so hope all your shopping is done! Mine is all done plus I am going away on a trip tomorrow! A girls’ only trip with my besties:) Yay! Cannot wait! We are going to New Orleans. And I am flying from there straight to […]
As I have said before, I am so grateful for cassava flour. In fact now thatI think about it, I should have included this in my thanksgiving thank you note 🙂 Seriously, cassava flour rotis/parathas are what enables me to still enjoy Indian curries in my Paleo/AIP world. And no wonder I keep coming up […]
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 […]
I wonder if other food bloggers ever face this problem that I end up with many times – ‘What should I call this dish?’ Lol! I am guessing they probably do! Anyways, this time the newest issue of ‘Better Homes and Garden’ came to my rescue as I was scratching my head for a name […]
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 🙂 […]
Fall is here and this year so far the weather has been still summery. And I am not complaining. Yes friends don’t get mad at me…I know y’all like the cold fall weather and all. But not me. Give me spring and / summer all 365 days! I do love the change in colors and […]
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 […]
