“Unbelievably Yum” – It would be an understatement, actually! When you have an opportunity to get fresh produce…right from the garden…picking up from your own hands…(yes, that’s true – what your Grandma said)…it’s indescribably yum. Last week, we have been picking those fresh berries. As a matter of fact, it was a wonderful experience. To […]

Some of the salty snacks are really very addictive! And, you know what? sometimes, its okay to indulge in home-made goodies than those store bought thingies…you know! What I mean is…at least, we know the ingredients that go into our dish! In fact, many of our traditional snacks usually call for only fewer items, basically […]

I guess, some of my recipes are weirdly hard-wired! No matter what, I keep repeating the same kind of combinations(ingredients) to the different set of dishes. Does that make any sense? Even before I intend to cook a new dish…I visualize the result with my hard-wired combo ingredients…how about that! So, on the other day, […]

Regarding Cake? I really don’t crave one (yes, for real). I never bake them! In fact, I won’t even allow anyone to get one. But, I love gazing through those cake images on the web…endlessly…its totally fascinating. On the other day, when there was zero cravings; but at the same time…I was pretty serious about […]

As much as I love sweets, the weirdest part of me craves salted snacks too. With very limited options in the market (hell with potato chips), I am forced to fix my own. When it comes to traditional sweets and snacks, as far as I remember…I never witnessed my Mom making one at home, she […]

Other Names Sawa Millet Lemon Upma. Let me tell you one thing…there was no recipe search for this millet! Well, our forefathers were eating millet for centuries. Only in the recent two-three generations, we shunned this incredible grain and switched over to rice (which is not completely bad or anything). When I procured millet at the […]

When it comes to eating less and staying active, the hard part is choosing the right meal! One has to eat nutritious, and yet a simple meal to build that kind of stamina. But, chances are one could end up eating far less calories, and go starving…if haven’t practiced it in a while! So, filling […]

Other Names Sawa Millet Kheer. Saamai Payasam. It is a lovely coincidence, when a simple recipe turns out to be deliciously addictive. And, this new Kheer is just as good, with two humble ingredients millet and milk. I realize that I have shared a bunch of quick fix Kheer recipes here before. But it is […]

Having lived in Mississippi for nearly a decade,(before rooting here at Carolina’s)…sometimes, we consider it as our second native place (besides India)! And, when friends call…emotions just pile up & I end up cooking something Southern that day. On one such lovely day, we were endlessly chatting about the people we have got…how many amateur […]

People usually rave about Amma’s Pickle and Grandma’s Pickle…while my recipes are from my Mighty Dad. His cooking is as big as his personality. Despite of the gender roles in our Indian kitchens….Dad would occasionally step-in to prove that He Is The Best. I love watching him create dishes from scratch without a clear-cut recipes. […]
