This easy weeknight South Indian style cabbage puttu-stirfry is spicy and gingery, and it’s perfect with some roti or chapathi.
There are people who like to say how exactly they feel about certain foods. They don’t like the taste, it’s too sour or too sweet, or “Why would I ever eat that? It seems too healthy.”
I live with these types of people.. I was one, oh well, I’m still one.
They are firm non-believers of the cabbage family….
This quick yellow Thai curry will both impress you and leave you craving for more. It’s so easy, and you don’t even need any paste. It’s a weekly staple in our home.
If there’s one thing we would take out quite often, but I was still overwhelmed by, it was Thai food. For some reason, for years I thought making Thai curry with Thai paste was laborious. Well, making a Thai curry paste does require a few ingredients, but it’s actually quite simple as I later learned. However, on the days I run out of my curry paste and have a hankering for Thai Curry, this is my go to….
This madras curry chicken salad avocado boats are so healthy and equally delicious, perfect with the cilantro cream. Just the right balance for the non-carb days or any day.
Curry is not a thing in Indian cuisine. Every recipe calls for a mix of spices, each family has their blend. So there’s nothing like curry, every recipe has it’s own name. There are many reasons for the word curry, you can read it HERE. Now, just for the convenience, we call it chicken curry or Andhra curry or Egg curry.…
I’ve always found this Andhra style hot & spicy chicken fry to be very flavorful, and a cozy dish for winters. Known for its sizzling items, full of flavor, Andhra cuisine is like none other. It’s so good.
Some of the hottest and spiciest food from South India, they say, is from Andhra Pradesh. I personally haven’t had any spicy food that I can’t handle, but for most, this would be pretty spicy, but not quite unbearable. Chicken Fry is a staple in many homes, and everyone has their favorites. Mine has to be my mom’s style pepper chicken, which is my little one’s favorite too. This Spicy Chicken fry is inspired by the cuisine of Andhra, and quickly, our pepper chicken had some competition.
Eating food has to be a lovely enjoyable experience, not a dreaded one….
This quick golden-hued chickpea spinach curry is simply the perfect cozy meal on a cold evening.
Happy Friday!! Happy December!!!
The cookie and cake season is here, and I bring to you a healthy and delicious meal for those “I don’t want to cook” days, when you are too busy baking up sweet treats….
Garlic chicken stuffed inside dosa with a layer of egg and cheese. So good, a crowd pleaser and an easy lunch box treat.
Dosa is probably one of the top South Indian foods that’s loved by many. If you are garlic lover, you will love this chicken, if you like dosa and garlic, then this is the recipe for you. This Garlic Chicken Egg Cheese Dosa is a favorite of our home.
There’s probably as many dosa varieties as there are burger varieties. There’s the popular paper dosa, which practically is like a golden thin crispy paper roasted in ghee, masala dosa, uthappam, vegetable dosa, rava dosa-a favorite of mine, ragi dosa, neer dosa, wheat dosa and many more….
Soft and flavorful, healthy and nutritious. This quinoa dosa, aka adai with vegetables, is a quick and nutritious meal. For breakfast, brunch, or lunch, it is so good.
As the golden sun is setting, I hear a door bell. The mail guy just delivered a package, and I exactly know what’s in it….
Ever since I announced the book, I’ve got overwhelming support from all of you. It has been amazing, and I thank all of you.

These are a loaded, ultimate Mexican Frittata with leeks and potato hash is stuffed with tortilla chips. It is spicy, filled with veggies, and a perfect Mother’s Day brunch.
I love being a woman. Being a woman is very empowering. Being born as a woman is a celebration in itself.
I look at women differently now. Each face has its story. Some more intense than others, some deeper than others, but we all do carry a story. Few vocal, and few are thinkers. Oscar Wilde’s quote, “a woman’s face is her work of fiction” is often quoted to remind us that what’s on the surface may have little connection to what we’re feeling. Women are deeper….
Salads are great. My family likes their salads with a little protein, an extra crunch, and a fresh, sweet touch. Having a salad once a day is definitely a good habit. Of course, having someone chop and prep a salad is even better. I am absolutely loving the ready to eat organic salad kits we find these days. They’re so convenient, with such clean ingredients. Here, I made a tortilla and topped it with the salad and some chicken. It was a complete, delicious meal of Chinese Chicken Salad in a tomato tortilla.
I was glad to partner with FeedFeed and Earthboundfarm. I am usually very skeptical about bagged salads and bottled dressings. However, this one defied my expectations. I stand by this brand., and am so impressed with this little kit. It comes with a dressing (which by the way is good), some chips, and nuts. I add this salad mix to my chow mein, omelettes, pastas, and pretty much everything else that I can add vegetables too….
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Wishing you all a very wonderful 2017!!
I woke up on NYE, reflecting on how it was a wonderful 2016.
When I say wonderful, it was, with some complexity. It had its ups and downs. And when I say wonderful, I meant that I chose to focus on the wonderful things. I tried to focus on the positive things. I learnt how to heal myself and look at what I had in front of me. I learnt that there’s no right way of life, no right way of living, or a perfect life. Perfection is a perception. It’s what we make of it.…
