Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I mean it should be. I mean we need to make it an important meal. And by important I mean eating a healthy breakfast. Since mornings are usually busy for us especially on weekdays (and I suspect for most families too), of late I am trying […]
The first time I heard the word ‘thecha’ was from my dear friend Manisha who is from Nagpur and is an awesome cook. Her authentic Maharashtrian dishes are all fiery and simply spectacular just like her 🙂 I like to call her a Pataka….a firecracker! Lovingly, of course 🙂 Thecha is Marathi for ‘smashed or pounded’.And […]
I am finally on a much needed sabbatical from work. Especially with the last two years being as crazy as they have been with my high paced work schedule and with my RA setting in last year. So I am taking a 3 month break from work to do the 3 Rs -rest, relax and rejuvenate […]
In our family, we do have some differences when it comes to food preferences…but there is one thing that we all have in common and that’s our love for seafood! Oh boy, I am so glad that our kids have both developed a palate for fish just like my husband and I. We love our seafood in […]
Until recently I used to always use chicken kheema(minced chicken) to only make shaami kabobs. Now this kheema curry is frequently on our menu for weekends.

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 […]
Sometimes we crave for a dish that we have tasted long ago somewhere. At least I do that often 🙂 In most cases, I also remember the ‘where’ and ‘when’. Yeah I am a little weird like that. I remember what some folks would call as ‘trivial’, unimportant details such as what dress I was […]
Idiappam is one of the many breakfast dishes of Kerala. Rice noodles made from scratch and steam cooked in small rounds/mounds to resemble idlis. For breakfast they are often paired with egg curry. Another way to eat these for breakfast is by dipping in slightly sweetened coconut milk. Yum! That is still my favorite way […]
I had been meaning to make peanut chutney for the longest time now. A co-worke had brought this ‘lip smacking’ peanut chutney into work one day and ever since I had been pestering him to get the recipe from his wife. He did oblige shortly (or rather his sweet wife did) and then somehow between […]
An healthy refreshing salad!
