Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Have you ever gone into a mental paralysis? The kind that especially seems to strike when you have plenty of things on your ‘To do’ list! Yikes! Last year when I quit my job, I was quite jubilant that I will really have the time to do all the things I really really love. Like […]
What is it with desserts that even when your stomach is full, its hard to say no? As I am learning now in my Nutritionist training, we need to include good fats in our meals so that we not only get all the benefits of the fats but so that we feel satiated by the […]
I have posted a recipe for Quinoa dosa before. However, that recipe included rice flour. Now I make a version which has only quinoa and I like this version better because it makes more crispy dosas! Since I cannot tolerate much rice, I find this version to be agreeable to me overall as I don’t […]
One of the wonderful elements of Indian cuisine is the presence of pickles, relishes and chutneys! Having any of these on your plate can elevate even the simplest of all meals into something extraordinary! Indian pickles are quite different from their western counterpart in that these are sour and spicy in addition to being salty. […]
A very happy ‘Holi’ to all those who celebrate this wonderful and colorful festival! A riot of colors, splashes of water, water balloons and yummy puran poli (sweet lentil stuffed flatbreads) are the images that come to mind when I think of Holi! Although we cannot afford to be that carefree now as we were […]

I have probably stated this before and I have no shame in saying it again. Biryani is my weakness. Especially Chicken Biryani. There is something about how the different components of this dish come together that makes this so, so attractive to me. It is just a harmonious confluence of flavors and textures. The perfectly […]
“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:) […]
OK so I am calling this a ‘pizza’ for lack of coming up with a better name but let me be very clear – this is nothing like your regular pizza! It is way better I mean! In terms of both taste and nutrient density and variety. This is a pizza where the base is […]
