Just a Note

Thanks to every one who has been visiting my blog and leaving comments. I have had a couple of people request me for pictures too. I really would love to; and am working on it. I have been a bit busy at work these days and hence no posts on my part. Hopefully next week I [...]


Bread Pizza

This is a dish I used to make even as a kid in India. When I was growing up pizza was not as easily available in India as it is now. To satisfy my pizza cravings I would pile up some toppings on a slice of bread; sprinkle with cheese and bake in the oven [...]


Quick and Easy Strawberry Jam

My son loves bread and jam (or jelly as he calls it) for breakfast or a snack. Strawberries are in season right now and there is nothing like fresh homemade jam. I really don’t like the store bought variety as I find them too sweet for my taste. Those who like their jam a little [...]


Quick Chicken Stir Fry

I came across the marinade in another recipe and decided to personalize it a little. The garlic is my addition and increased the cumin used. I did not use the spicy Indian chili powder I usually use. Instead used the one which came in my spice rack. It was delicious and even my two year [...]


Coconut flavored Veggie Pulao

This is a recipe which a lot of people have inquired about. I only make this when having people over for a meal or special occasions. A couple of things are the flavor and the color, which everyone inquires about. The flavor secret here is coconut milk and the color secret is the onions fried [...]

Cauliflower Masala

This is an easy spicy cauliflower dish with potatoes and tomatoes. Though I’d rather not have potatoes, but I decided to include them for Shilpi. He loved the dish. So I will be adding it to my emergency recipe list( for when I am out of ideas or my brain decides to take a break). Ingredients Cauliflower [...]


Veggie Stew with Dumplings

I was looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe for today when I cam across a Veggie Cassoulet recipe. I decided to substitute the beans for some veggies instead, and added an Indian twist to the recipe by adding garam masala. Ingredients Frozen TVP crumbles – 12 Oz Chicken broth – 1 can Oregano – ½ tsp. Basil – [...]


Easy Fried Okra ( Bendakai Koora)

The quantities mentioned here are again approximates. I never really measure precisely. Ingredients Okra – 3 pounds Onion – 1 large/ 2 medium Curry leaves – 1 sprig Mustard seeds – ½ tsp Cumin seeds – ½ tsp Dry red chilli – 1 Garlic clove – 1 crushed lightly Salt to taste Chilli powder – ½ tsp or to taste Oil for frying Method If using fresh okra, [...]


Healthy Idli’s

Well it’s been a while since I posted and today I am craving something healthy. Not a surprise. I have been really neglecting my diet in general. So here’s a recipe that actually makes you feel a little good about your diet.
