Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Another quick and healthy snack from my amma’s repertoire of easy snack recipes! As kids we used to always come home to find a tea time snack and different types of aval (poha) dishes used to be common. I have posted one aval recipe before – Aval nanachathu. Today I am posting a variation of this. […]
Holi Hain! The mention of Holi makes my heart feel so happy. And warm. The warm feeling you get when you think of fun things that you used to do on Holi like fooling around with friends, playing pranks on strangers (only when I was a teenager 🙂 ), throwing tons of water and color […]
Morocco fascinates me. I don’t know much about the country except that it is in North Africa but it fascinates me. The cuisine with a mix of North African, Middle Eastern and European influences sounds too, too exotic to me! Oh how I would love to visit there sometime! To appease my inquisitiveness for now, I […]
Elephant foot yam? Now what is that? My kids were stumped. What a weird name! But if you see this yam, which is like a super large yam or potato, it does indeed resemble an elephant’s foot! In Indian cuisine this yam is used in almost every region although it is called by different names […]
One of my favorite street foods in Mumbai is the ‘Vada Paav’ or the poor man’s burger which is made with potatoes and chick pea flour. Vada Paav is as basic to Mumbai as cheese burger is to America. It is the most ubiquitous street food in Mumbai and you can find it almost at every […]
These 3 ingredient easy rolls are so yummy! A few weeks ago while shopping at our local supermarket, I noticed these date nut rolls displayed in cute little packages in the middle of the produce aisle. ‘Neat’ I said to myself and also made a mental note that I had to try making them. Of […]
Its time for a round up of all the Sri Lankan recipes that I have made. I have been ogling at and drooling over countless recipes and I did end up making 7 different ones and have more lined up on my pinterest page that I hope to make soon! My virtual journey has made me […]
The week before last week, our kitchen truly had the ‘international’ theme going on the entire week! Started with the Japanese meal on Monday which I posted last week and then mid week we had falafels and then ending with thai noodles on Friday. The days in between we had Indian and Mexican.! How wonderful isn’t it? For the […]
I love Mexican food and vegetable quesadillas is one of my favorites. But since the traditional quesadillas has cheese as the major component and I have been avoiding dairy now, I had been missing out on this food for the last few months. But as they say- necessity is the mother of invention and I […]
This Monday night at around 5 PM , my husband and I both look at each other and ask the unspoken question -“What are we doing for dinner?” I think for a few seconds and go ‘let’s make something really good’. The ‘really good’ from me was because I am trying to do vegan for a […]
What makes a good curry? Well …let’s see… a little bit of this and a little bit of that, a lot of tender loving a.k.a slow simmering, an unique combination of spices that is the right marriage of flavors and a final product that is both attractive to the eyes as well as intoxicating to the palate… don’t […]
The family has a new name for me – ‘sneaky mom’ 🙂 Can’t blame them …I have been really on a roll lately adding spinach and carrot to idlis, then adding beets to the vegan chocolate cake I baked last weekend. So anyways I am happy with the title and the family is not really complaining. […]
