Quick Noodle Stir Fry.

Well not only was the Stir Fry quick, I did the same with photographing it.  Not the best shot and it was taken at night, which means using a flash and I really don’t like the extra gloss that has been added to the noodles.  Oh well!! I managed to get a pic at least. [...]


This is my very first post in this series and I have decided to set some ground rules for my self regarding how I will proceed.   For the sake of consistency I will list all the dals with their Hindi names. Each post will have a number associated with them for an easy way to [...]


Cooking Lentils or Dals

One day I arrived home to find that Shilpesh had put Rajma and Masoor dal in the cooker in the hopes to make a dal of the variety Aditya likes. Aditya is extremely fond of the Madras Lentils that can be got in Costco. I really think it tastes more like Dal Makhani, but may [...]

Trip to An Asian Grocery Store

I requested a colleague of mine to accompany me to the Asian Grocery store near work. She is from Hong Kong and I really wanted her view of things to buy.  I purchased some fresh and dry noodles and also fried tofu and bok choy.


Tilapia Fish Nuggets

Fish or Chicken nuggets are one of Aditya’s favorite snacks. I try to keep some on hand all the time. Over the weekend I made some in bulk and froze them. One thing I have learnt is that for me at least bulk cooking though not easy is indeed a life saver. I can manage [...]


Basic Crepes

As a kid I think crepes were the first ever dish I made following a recipe.  They were called pancakes in the book I had and the book was Every Girls Handbook. My mom had presented it to me during the summer break of 7th grade I think. We were in Pune then and my [...]


So Many things to do So Little Time

Well, I guess the title conveys it all. I have been cooking up  a lot of stuff recently, but unfortunately haven’t had the time to post them all. So what did I cook? Here is a list of the recipes I hope to post soon. Homemade Chicken Teriyaki meatballs Homemade Sphaggeti Homemade Meat Sauce with [...]


Another week where my Menu is still not well planned. But I am forcing myself to still plan and blog about it.  Once it does become a habbit, it should be easier to plan and execute.  Last week DH asked DS what were his favourite meals to take for school lunch. DS replied promptly Pasta [...]


Alligator Chopper

  The Alligator Chopper is one of my favorite kitchen tools. I  need to admit that when it comes to onion choppers I seem to have tested most of them in the market (or to be more appropriate my Mom). The Vidalia and Progressive brand choppers hardly lasted. My Mom is slim with not much [...]
