Flavorful Paleo and AIP recipes
Quinoa, pronounced as ‘kin wah’ is not a true grain but is high in protein and is also gluten-free. Hence it has become sort of the new rage because it provides a great option for folks who are on gluten free diets. It is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is also […]
Home made bread and soup nights happen in our house at least once every week. I love to make soups because you can let your imagination run wild experimenting with different combination of ingredients. You just need to have a daring attitude and of course, your family who are the scapegoats need to be supportive […]
Fish and shrimp cooked in various forms is what I ate on a regular basis growing up in Mumbai. But when we visited Kochi, a coastal town in Kerala on our annual vacations, seafood is what we ate for practically every meal! And nothing like the ‘Kari meenu'(Pearl Spot fish) curry cooked out of fresh […]
Some days we crave for something very simple yet something that is very comforting – I am sure you will agree! For me one of those comfort foods is this curry – something that transports me back in time where I am just enjoying a simple afternoon lunch with plain rice, kumbalanga curry, some plain […]

Thanksgiving leftovers are always a challenge. Left over Turkey is the easiest to deal with. So many options abound – soups, wraps and of course, enchiladas! This time I decided to do a spicy enchilada using chipotle chillies and fire roasted tomatoes. The sauce was spicy, had a great smoky flavor and overall delicious. One […]
Show me the evidence! If you asked me the question ‘Is coconut good or bad for you’ about 5 years ago, I would not have had an answer simply because I had not done enough research at that time to prove it one way or the other. However, as I embarked on this journey to […]
I first tried Japanese cuisine about 10 years ago (with my husband really encouraging me to give it a try as he was already a huge fan by then!) and I liked the teriyaki chicken and salmon and all but when it came to sushi, I had a mental block. However my husband convinced me […]
Sambhaar is a spicy and tangy curry (soup) made of lentils and vegetables. This is a curry that is typical ‘South Indian’ cuisine and each of the four southern states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala have their slightly different versions of sambhaar. Sambhaar is eaten with rice but most commonly […]
I love Middle Eastern cuisine because of its resemblance to Indian cuisine but at the same time the dishes here are much more milder with just a slight hint of the different flavors.
