Whole Wheat Bread

I have been experimenting with a lot of different combinations for making whole wheat bread.  I finally have one recipe whose texture and flavor I really like.  AND the big bonus is that it passes muster with Aditya’s standards of a good bread he can eat.  I make mine with fresh wheat flour ground at [...]


Blueberry Pancakes

Aditya loves pancakes and I always make extra to freeze for later. This time around I decided to make the pancakes a bit more healthy and added whole wheat pasty flour to the recipe.  He loved them and did not notice the change.


Mixed Berry Compote

The vacation last month was a much needed respite for me. Despite a hectic travel schedule I did manage to sneak in some R & R while staying with my parents.  Right now I am recharged and have started getting up early to cook a little everyday.  As my Mom is visiting again, I also [...]


Atukula Uppma (Flattened Rice Upma)

Atukulu Upma or Poha is another quick breakfast or snack which Shilpi keeps asking for regularly. It’s a real easy to whip up in less than 20 minutes even when I am being interrupted constantly every 2 minutes .


Bread Upma

This is a quick and easy recipe. It was one of my favourite after school snacks.I still remeber the first time my Mom made it. I was in fourth grade I think. She had come back from some event where she had learn’t to make it and there was a little leftover. I had loved it [...]


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 [...]


Garelu (Spicy Lentil Donuts)

 Garelu or vada are one of those dishes that are a family favourite, but I have always found it to be an extremely time consuming process, until recently when an Aunt of mine suggested using the Urad dal flour instead. Though I love too cook from scratch, there are some dishes I’d rather take shortcuts [...]

Breakfast Hoagie

Today morning I was contemplating making savory pancakes, but on taking inventory of my pantry I found a few leftover hot dog buns. As today is Friday I knew we wouldn’t be touching them until next Monday. It was time to put them to good use, but how was the question? Again as I mentioned [...]


Chicken and Veggie Hash

This is a very versatile dish and can be adapted to suit ones personal tastes. If you want a vegetarian version you can omit the chicken or substitute TVP instead. Also instead of the Chicken Enchilada sauce you could add 2 Tbsp of flour and a little water to provide the required wet consistency. Ingredients [...]


Breakfast Bread (Banana Oatmeal bread)

This was supposed to have been a recipe for breakfast bars. The bars turned out to be a bit soft and spongy. So I call it banana bread instead. It’s really tasty, not too sweet and a super grab on the go breakfast for us. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon [...]
