Masala Puri Bangalore Style

October 20, 2021 By Asha Shivakumar

This Masala Puri is a Bangalore Style Chaat, a street food  loved by all. This style of Masala Puri is watery, abundance of flavors, heat from the green chilies and so addictive.

Bangalore style Masala Puri #masalapuri #bangaloremasalapuri #chatJump-to-Recipe

One rainy evening, under a tiny umbrella, my cousin and I cozying up to each other walk carefully making sure not to step on a puddle of dirty water to a place we visit often. A walk through that lane often led to neighbors standing by the gate greeting us, you’d also stumble upon many stories and secrets.  Bangalore screams of diverse residents, clusters of original inhabitants and a multi cultural feel and it has a colorful aura to it.

Both Viji and I could Hansel and Gretel through the suburb on a food trail. The smells that street food gives out is intoxicating in ways I can’t explain. We both make our way to the main street where there is a plethora of choices, each one screaming and calling at us. We both had big appetites for anything tasty and street food. We hop on to the first stall that serves up Masala Puri….

Vegan Roasted Cauliflower and Onion Soup

Happy October!!

Time time to do nothing while doing things we enjoy.

Time to gather your thoughts. It’s time to feel the nip in the air.

Time to listen to the sounds of nature.

Too many events fill your day, crowd you out of your life, and leave you exhausted without a clear recollection of what you did. If you paused, took time to set your expectations aside, go for a walk instead, youd remember that time, empty of intention, more clearly than your busy day. It is in the empty spaces that life takes place–not in the planning, but in the repose.

You need to see little things, the volume of things. The expanse of sky, the breadth of horizon. Be more on the edge, living the simple life. Truth gathers there and defines your being.

Take time to enjoy the simplicity, just like this soup:)….

To make your decisions wisely, you should have a clear mind. For a clear mind, you need to focus on you and take breaks every once in a while.

We all have gone through our struggles in the last many months. The range varies. We have also come/coming out of it stronger and better than ever. For one what the pandemic has taught me is: what I missed and what I didn’t, what’s important and what is not….

Raw Banana Chips or Banana and Parsnip Fries #indiansnacks #indianfoodJump-to-Recipe

Summer vacations back home was simple, sweet, lots of food(home made), naps and family time. As a working mom, my mother would always take off three months when I started my summer break, until I got married. She was dedicated and never once made me feel lonely(especially since I was the only child) or bored.

While we could buy the snacks from shops, mom always made sure to make fresh murrukku, sweets and chips to snack on. I thoroughly enjoyed my summer breaks. So many good memories, thanks to MOM.

Now, I try to make summer breaks as much as fun for my boys as it was for me. I take a break from work, social media and spend as much time together as possible. One thing I do find myself doing a lot is, grilling and cooking. The boys are always hungry(more hungrier) when they have nothing much to do.

So, I try to make snacks as much as I can at home, and this is one of my favorite treats, Banana Chips, a take on tapioca chips. I make large jars of this and we basically as a family finish it in a week or so. We top it on everything. It’s spicy and crunchy, and OH SO GOOD.

Happy Summer Break, Happy Snacking!!…

Rajasthani Onion Besan Paratha

May 1, 2021 By Asha Shivakumar

Rajasthani Onion Besan Paratha is truly a treat. Crispy and spicy, they go well with a side of yogurt or boondi raita. It puffs up, blisters beautifully and the stuffing of onion and besan is out of the world tasty. This will transport you to an authentic Rajasthani home.

Rajasthani Onion Besan Paratha #onionparatha #paratha

While the world knows about naan and almost every food blogger has a recipe, that’s not a flatbread we make often in Indian homes. Rotis, chapathis or parathas is the common flatbread we make. Stuffed parathas are a treat on weekends. And they are probably my favorite, stuffed Rajasthani onion besan paratha comes on top.

Paratha

Parathas are made out of whole wheat flour, folded and cooked on a griddle. Stuffed paratha dough is slightly most softer than a chapathi dough and it’s popularly stuffed with potatoes, radishes, you think of it, you can stuff it.  Onion Parathas are very popular to the region of Rajasthan. It’s slightly more spicier than the normal stuffed parathas. They are cooked on a thick griddle, but if you have a tandoor, nothing like it. The tandoor fills the inside of the flat bread with air pockets and bakes them to perfection.

Don’t be deterred by the number of ingredients in the recipe—although the process may look time-consuming, parathas are actually quick to make.  Cook it on low and make sure to crisp them up. How crisp you make them, however, is up to your taste….

Egg Curry

Egg curry is common to several countries including India, countries in Asia and the Caribbean. When in doubt and when you are running out of ideas and time, egg curry comes in handy. There are so many varieties of egg curry: South Indian Egg Curry,  Bengali Style Egg Omelette Curry,  Carribean Egg shakshuka. And this egg curry iis a rich version that I usually make during summers and for special parties or dinners.

I love that it has few rich ingredients, simple spices leaving it with incredibly robust flavor. The nutty flavors are outstanding in this creamy egg curry.

And of course it’s got an abundance of sauce because that’s what creamy egg curry is all about – that irresistible sauce for soaking up with naan  or serving alongside rice.

Perfecting Indian food is truly an Art.

Indian cuisine has an overwhelming array of spices. The country’s fiery curries, complex rubs, and addictive street foods owe their flavor to a long list of spices from all over the world. These are combined, blended, fried, and toasted in millions of kitchens all over the country. The spices are not just for a layering effect of flavors, but also for their nutritional/medicinal values which are rooted in Ayurveda.

Having said that, Indian recipes also doesn’t have to be complex with a gazillion ingredients and steps. Sometimes all you need is couple of spices to make a dish, and you can taste India through that dish….

Pineapple Rasam

March 13, 2021 By Asha Shivakumar

Pineapple Rasam is very famous to Karnataka. This ultra satisfying, sweet and spicy is comforting and flavorful and so soothing. Pineapple Rasam has a touch of sweetness and tanginess, peppery and warm to all the senses.

Pineapple Rasam - Udipi Style Spicy Pineapple Rasam #rasam #southindianrecipesJump-to-Recipe

My favorite (and I think the best) is a bowl of Spicy rasam with rice! Rasam’s simplicity is what is enticing. The soothing sweetness from the tomato, slight tingle from the pepper and that fresh curry leaves and asafoetida thaalipa is the crowning epilogue.

The history of rasam is as engrossing as the rasam itself. Rasam is also called chaaru, saaru and was originated in Madurai and it has probably hundreds of versions that satisfy South Indians and many around the world.

South Indians have an intimate relationship with rasam. The answer to all sickness is this slightly spiced, mixed with mushy overcooked rice. It’s given to kids, adults, when happy, sick or sad. It’s a pacifier in a bowl.  Bolstered with an extra dash of ginger and pepper, it is an instant fix for an itchy throat….

It has happened so quickly, seemingly days apart. Events, life changing ones. TEN YEARS!! Of blogging and Life. And what a delicious journey it has been!

The growth

We have a new member in our family, our love, Waffles.

My then seventh grader who jump started the blog, is in third year of college.

You’ve read why I call my little boy, ‘baby bear”. From running around a five year old skinny little boy to seeing him get his licence, my readers have seen it all.

Hubby has published a book, writing another one…but, the biggest change in him:  he has been living and promoting a sustainable lifestyle.

If gray hair is also known as wisdom highlights, I am wiser for sure. 😉 A cookbook and a blog that turned into a business, not too shabby eh?!

Gained some meaningful relationships.

Went through very dark moments with events that made me broody about mortality and humans and life.

Part of me really feels that the love of food, the love of family and the support from readers has kept me going through these 10 years….
