Kaara Chutney – Salem Special
- 31
- August
- 2015
One thing about Salem,…they have wide choice of tiffin items than many other places in Tamil Nadu (in my opinion). The Salemites are really good at preparing dosas with more than 50-60 different kinds of side dishes (chutneys and podis). Sometimes I think, I can keep trying each one of it, all my life. I […]
Mutton Stew – Love It
- 30
- August
- 2015
Some of my all-time favorites remain, This and most certainly, That. But this recipe is a definite keeper in my secret vault of pleasurable indulgences. No doubt, the nutritional qualities of meat just excel all else, but don’t let convince you to try this out. After all, everyone needs to indulge once in a while, even if […]
Onion Dosa – Just For Me
- 29
- August
- 2015
When it comes to comfort foods, I am always inclined towards curry and rice dishes. Except when I’m craving for something with more twist! That’s when I think hard to fix a breakfast for myself (which happens once in a blue moon). Dosas, pooris and upmas all fit the bill well, and I just go with […]
Chemeen Ishtu – Flavorsome

- August
- 2015
Did I ever mention, how much I like Kerala dishes. In my opinion they have wide range of varieties than many other states (and I could be wrong too, I haven’t dined in so many states of India…after all). Anyhoo. The stew (Ishtu) is so very mild and aromatic, its completely devoid of chili powder […]
Rajgira Roti – Fasting Diet
- 27
- August
- 2015
Fasting needs discipline. Strict fasting is really hard for many people (or just me). And, it could be also tortuous when everyone but you, refrain from eating. So, in my opinion…its easy to follow a fasting mimicking diet rather than going hungry for the whole time. I have personally practiced both, and the light vrat […]
Vegetable Paniyaram – Take A Bite

- August
- 2015
In my opinion, “There should be a story behind every humble recipe”. Do you agree? Every time, I chat up with my friends, they keep unfolding all the reasons for every little tweaks in our traditional meals. It looks like…the way our Grandmothers cooked (or cooking) and Mothers cooked (or cooking)…it truly reflects their socio-economic […]
Multi Grain Idly – Healthy Eating

- August
- 2015
Other Names Sathu Maavu Idly, Health Mix Idly. Multi Grain Idly. When I say healthy eating…it is not about achieving triceps or staying unrealistically thin! Its just healthy. All about feeling great, having more energy, improving your outlook, and stabilizing your mood. When making changes to the diet, most people drift completely and look lost very soon. […]
Parwal Sabzi – Veggie Challenge
- 24
- August
- 2015
When I was twenty, I proudly proclaimed that ‘I am a carnivore’. I hated anything that looked green. In my mind, all vegetables are boring and tasteless. But the reality was that I hadn’t really tried many different kinds! When, time compelled…I started exploring many vegetables. My gateway vegetable was Ivy Gourd and Bitter Melon. […]
Wheat Idly – Procrastination Recipe

- August
- 2015
Procrastination comes to me naturally, I am actually good at it! Just leave a couple of assignments and see…how I perform. I’ll put it in a cold box and leave it there undisturbed for years. A day before my deadline…I’ll rush to dust it out and do the best to finish it up! Needless to […]
Sawa Millet Upma – Its Simple

- 2015
Remember that time, I was almost like a Food Maniac rather than a food blogger? And, how I happily admitted…that I enjoy cooking and how therapeutic it was and all?? Well, I would like to take it back! Yeah, It really sucks to cook at the end of the day. Hmmmm, I would rather plunge […]
