Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
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. […]
February brings mixed emotions in me. One one hand it brings us a lot of snow storms but on the other hand it also is so romantic because of Valentine’s day. Our wedding anniversary also falls close to V day so for me Feb says ROMANCE in capital letters 🙂 And so once again I got my twin heart […]
Until a few years ago I thought that calamari was ‘fried squid’ – i.e I thought the name of the dish where squid was fried was calamari! So I am sure that some of you might still be under that confusion. So let’s clear your doubts. Calamari, is just the Italian name for squid. And the dish that most […]
Spicy Stuffed buns! Veggie Stuffed buns! One a penny, Two a penny, Tasty Stuffed buns! One of the Sri Lankan recipes that I had bookmarked a few weeks ago was these breakfast buns stuffed with a spicy onion filling. The onion and red chili filling in these buns is actually ‘seeni sambol’ which is a spicy onion chutney very popular in Sri […]
‘Idlis’ are quite healthy as is. Made with Rice and Urad dal these are steamed – so no oil or fat involved and the batter being fermented, they are light on the stomach too. Because of their high nutrition value and also because they are a little bit like finger food, kids usually like it. […]
Growing up in Mumbai we ate spring rolls quite often and mostly at ‘Indochinese joints’ spread across the city suburbs. These were mostly vegetable spring rolls which had a tasty filling of shredded veggies like cabbage,spring onions etc mixed with noodles and had a liberal seasoning of pepper and soy sauce. In the US the Chinese spring […]
Parippu Vada is something you will find in all tea stalls in Kerala along with the ubiquitous Pazham Pori or plantain fritters. I had posted the recipe for pazham pori before in a post where I shared some lovely pictures of Kerala. To me nothing says Kerala more than plates of pazaham pori and parippu […]
Hope the New Year is going well for everyone thus far. The holidays that just went by were simply fabulous. We were blessed to be flanked by friends, some of whom are like family and of course there was too much food! I was pampered by my friend Vaishali who was visiting us this holiday […]
One always hear about folks talking about middle of the night cravings. But what about middle of the day cravings? And that too when you are in the middle of work? Well that does not usually happen to me but of late its been happening. I think its because of the different diet restrictions that […]
Love this ‘end of the year’ holiday season! Have days off from work, kids are off from school …and so the normal routine is out the window! Our close friends are visiting us and so both the kids and the adults are having a super time. For the past week our daily schedule has been […]
