A. K. makes good salad and vegetable stews. It’s all well and healthy. But, I don’t always want healthy meals, you see! Yeah…especially after a loooong day wrangling the little one. I want more along the lines of comfort food! Scratch that. I always want the Comfort Foods. Skip the leaves…add more meat, please. And, […]

I admit it I have been lazy. While I have been in the kitchen all the time experimenting, peeking into the computer, texting friends…but, stayed away from posting any new recipe on Kitchen Tantras.

So, there is no predictability in my kitchen! Absolutely…off the hook!!! However, there are some occasions, I go by the plan, you see! Do, follow […]
