Ever since I wrote the post about my Top Comfort Foods in the July #BlogAlong, I have been dyyying to write this post. Writing this post would require me making the dish, which I hadn’t made.. until a few days ago. It couldn’t come at a better time as it is time for the next #BlogAlong, […]
Kitchen Diaries
The Kannadiga Thaali
It’s festival time! Nothing screams festival louder than a lunch feast and THAT’S how we Kannadigas do it! Wake up early on the morning of the festival, bathe, set up the puja ghar, pray and we’re ready to hit the food. It is towards the end of the year, lots of festivals coming up.. lots of weddings […]
Kosambari
Kosambari is a big favourite in my house, although it is made primarily on festival days, which I now wonder why because this Moong Dal salad is simplicity at its best. Hubby, who is a Bengali, alsolutely loves this salad as well. I mean, there is nothing much not to like in this.. the nutty […]
Asian Fish Parcels
Fish… hmm.. now fish isn’t one of my go to proteins. I don’t eat sea food. Umm.. I guess it’s time to say that I DIDN’T eat sea food. (I just heard-my mum in law yelp!) I’m not sure if I can say that I eat fist yet. Hmm…Let me see.. -I had sushi when I was […]
The Turkish Foodie.. Part 2
Welcome back to the second part of the The Turkish Foodie. It took me a while to get the drool off my keyboard and now it is ready for another batch of fresh drool as I take you through a few of the other dishes that Viraj and I tried on our trip to Istanbul. […]
The Turkish Foodie.. Part 1
Since the day Viraj and I decided to go to Turkey for a holiday, the only thing on my mind was the FOOD! Having been to Greece before, I knew that the food is going to be absolutely yums! Last year when we went to Paris and Spain, except for dinner one night, we didn’t eat […]
Sunday Dinner – Pork Chops
I‘m getting way too addicted to Master Chef Australia. Since I don’t cook everyday, cooking excites me when I get around to doing it; and with MasterChef Australia on air right now, my already overworked and hyper brain is completely consumed with it. My brother-in-law was staying with us last week. A young man of […]
Food that Speaks to My Heart.. My Top Comfort Food
For the past month, I have been talking a lot about travelling. When we travel, food becomes an essential part of how you have unearthed the mysteries of a new city and of a country. It is a part of that complex puzzle that helps you experience and understand a place and its people. Ingredients talk of history and how you eat talks about its […]
Turkish Tea
Our first afternoon in Istanbul, Viraj and I decided to walk down Istiklal street. We were staying right next to Takshim square and it was but natural to go to Istiklal. We walked through a sea of people and an array of shops which ranged between high end fashion, bars. clubs and street food. Meandering through […]
Pizza Party Pooper
Fauji wives are one of the bravest breed of women you can find. Not only do they look after their soldier husbands and families while living in some corner of the country unheard of, but I find them even more brave because they can host the best parties for a huge number of people at […]
