Kaikari Masala: Sometimes, I am really off the hook…and can glue to the couch all day long without any hope in life. If you had witnessed me hitting the sack on a bright morning…you will know, what I mean. I can simply go without answering a phone call or ringing doorbell!! I don’t cook, clean, […]

I love fixing one pot meals for the great comfort at two level: easy plus satisfying. By adding few basil leaves to the simple fried rice, it overwhelmingly becomes quite tempting and aromatic. Sometimes, it becomes my post-workout menu…the day I do the yard work, by default I automatically make this dish! If you have […]

Renting out the marriage hall for a day or two, distributing invitations personally to everyone you know (not necessarily…sometimes, your 3rd cousin’s – daughter’s – in-law’s – next door neighbors, are in the list), booking for video coverage, for still camera etc. In short, weddings are […]

Honestly, I didn’t aim for this kind of soup, today! What I was hoping for is that signature, Indianized ‘Hot and Sour Soup’ that we get in the restaurants, back home – in India!

Mixed Vegetables in Tomato Based Soup: Most of my posts of last year’s was all about ‘slow-cooking meals’ and ‘rich desserts’! I was cooking, cooking and cooking…all non-stop meals with extra care! What I liked about it…is yet another question! One fine day, I realized that I’ve been spending awful lot of time in cooking […]
