Steamed Cashew Chicken Curry and Steamed Yogurt Pudding #steamedchicken #chickencurry

Of all the conventional cooking methods, steaming is one of the most natural and healthful ways to cook the food you eat; it’s a simple technique that allows you to experience the unique flavors of the food itself. Let’s explore why this timeless moist-heat cooking method is worth using in today’s modern diet.

Steaming leaves the food with bright flavors and textures of the food intact. Unlike boiling and simmering, steaming doesn’t agitate food, so it’s a perfectly gentle way to cook delicate items like meats, seafood and shellfish. And perhaps best of all, steaming keeps all those valuable nutrients inside the food, instead of in the cooking liquid….

It’s only normal for me to love this Lebanese Vegetarian Fatteh that feels like Indian chaat, but so different too.

I’ve learnt a few dishes from my neighbor: shish barak and this Lebanese fatteh, my top favorites. A generous lady with five kids, always made it a point to share special dishes, and this was one that I gobbled up. The holidays makes me miss her more, it was lively with kids playing in the yard, the screams, lights and action. After they moved, I kept in touch with them for few years, then life happened. Her food and warm personality will always be close to my heart….

Masala Egg Bhurji/ Indian Style Egg Scramble/Anda Bhurji #eggbhurji #eggscramble

Jump-to-Recipe

Anda Bhurji or Scrambled Eggs is probably one of the most made food in every household. This Anda Bhurji is nothing short of amazing, it’s a special dish that can be served on occasions or for your Sunday brunch.

This recipe sprung to life one fine, August afternoon as I was strolling around the kitchen getting ready for lunch. Got the chicken out and exactly knew what I was making for my little boy. But, lunch for my pescatarian hubby had me scratching my head. I’ll come to that later, I thought. First let me marinate the chicken. While mixing the yogurt,  like a circuit breaker blew up, I had an idea….boom!!…

Leeks and Spinach Phyllo Triangles with Feta Sauce #spanakopita #appetizerJump To Recipe

Friends, you have been very, very good to me. For the past few years, you’ve been stopping by to see me on a regular basis, cooked from the blog and you’ve said some pretty nice things about the contents of my kitchen and my dinner plate.

I can hardly believe it’s the end of December.  It’s the time of year we begin planning and looking back on this year, large and small achievements. We start planning our small gatherings.  Before we know it, we’ll be gathering in our circles, engaging in every kind of conversation under the sun.  We’ll awkwardly small talk with co-worker’s families.  We’ll ring in the new year with joyful anticipation.

Pineapple-Black-Chickpea Spinach Yogurt Curry aka Pineapple-Kadala Pulicherry/Morkozhumbu

September 5, 2017 By Asha Shivakumar

Fruit based curries/chutney are very popular in the Southern part of India.  In particular, this pineapple black chickpea spinach yogurt curry/morkozhumbu is a very authentic dish of Kerala.  It’s so good with some rice.

Pineapple-Black-Chickpea Spinach Yoghurt Curry aka Pineapple-kadala pulicherry/morkohumbu |foodfashionparty| #indiancurry

It’s no secret that I am in love with the cuisine of Kerala.  It does rank high on my loves for various cuisines.

Kerala is a beautiful coastal place surrounded natural beauty.  It’s a lush green emerald land, with the tall coconut trees, the flowing backwaters, the food, the tea estates, spices… everything deserves praise.  It’s called “God’s own country” for a reason.  What otherwise might seem like a smug statement is not at all inaccurate for the humble place and people; in fact, it is sincere and as precise as can be….

Instant Savory Vegetable Cake- Handvo

July 29, 2015 By Asha Shivakumar

Instant Savory Vegetable Cake- Handvo (gluten free)

It is probably the 5557th time he has asked me, “What time is the flight landing?”  The baby bear of our home is a big fan of his dad.  He calls themselves “the twins.”  To him, his dad can’t do anything wrong or say anything wrong.  His trust and love for him is unparalleled.  When I am cross, it doesn’t take him a moment more to say I was wrong.  He’s around his dad every minute possible.  He’s the biggest fan of his dad, and takes every word his dad says to heart, and those are the final words. Imagine a kid who sounds squeaky and loud going daddy, daddy this, daddy that.  It can get quite annoying, but it’s too cute for us not to smile.

Lychee-Ginger Lassi and Pineapple Lassi

June 24, 2015 By Asha Shivakumar

Lychee-Ginger Lassi and Pineapple Lassi

A common summer day, to me, means pj’s, workout pants, and staying in all day procrastinating.  Days start late and run late.  The workout pants are very convenient for regular hikes and runs.  There is no routine and no professionalism, just hanging out and thinking about what to do next.  Sometimes we decide an impromptu drive, a swim, or a movie marathon.  We are regulars to the half price book store.  By the end of summer, we have a huge sale ourselves.  I love summer and hanging out with the boys very much.  Of course, every once in a while, I get bored of this regimen and decide to have friends over.  Summer entertaining is the best.  I get out the frills, the flowers, and a pretty hair do, which is always fun.

Ridgegourd Yogurt and Coconut Milk Stew with Sriracha Garbanzo Beans

January 9, 2014 By Asha Shivakumar

Ridgegourd Yogurt-Coconut Milk Stew with Sriracha Garbanzo Beans


As the holidays are behind us and a new year is ahead of us, a fresh start always feels good. It was relaxing,took a break from all social networking, yet crazy, couple of weeks.  We ate a great deal of food, spent some quality time with friends, and baked plenty of different goodies. After a couple of weeks of waking up late, skipping workouts, eating out, and having absolutely no routine, I was craving to get back into shape. I guess that sometimes, too much of a good thing can annoy you.  

Well, I am quite excited for the New Year. I have no resolution in particular, but I have goals I want to accomplish. To start off, I am in deep need of some detox. Well, the carb lover that I am, it is hard to do that. However, once a day, healthy smoothies or soups/stews are not a bad thing.
