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 […]
Happy Diwali to all of you who celebrate! To those of you who are not familiar with Diwali, Diwali is one of the most important of all festivals that are celebrated in India. Known as the ‘festival of lights’, it spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. The word ‘Diwali’ itself […]
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 🙂 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 discovered sweet potato noodles, menu options for me have expanded considerably! I now buy them from our local Asian supermarket where they are considerably cheaper than elsewhere. Of course the online option is so, so convenient that its ok if we pay a little extra! But since we regularly go to this […]
OK, So if you read my last post, you already know about this cake. And if you did not read my last post where I posted the Flourless Chocolate Cake recipe, then I suggest you do it now 🙂 Because I am going to keep this post really short! This turned out to be […]
OK So August is always a very busy month – summer vacations, grad parties, get togethers, pool parties etc etc and in our household there is more! Three out of four people in our house have their birthdays in August ! He He…yes, I made sure both my kids were born on my birth month […]
The vegetable garden has been thriving! Well, not that I planted a lot this year – just a couple cucumber and zucchini since we were so so busy this spring. And then as soon as school vacation started we left for India. So with me gone away for almost a month, I did not want […]
