Satiating the mind and body gastronomically! Monday, 28 January 2008. Daring Bakers Jan 2008: Lemon Meringue Pie. An Australian island south-east of mainland Australia. I've been here with Quikong for over a week now. Lots of outdoor adventures, enjoying the fresh produce and relaxation. No internet, TV or mobile for most of our trip. It's been really refreshing. I'll write more about this wonderful place in my next post. I made a "standard" pie for the challenge (very un-daring. I had to work very quick...

Wednesday, February 29, 2012. JackFruit Curry / Panasapottu Kura. I’ve heard a lot about it! The other day I’ve been to Angadi and found it. Raw Jack Fruit. I just wanted to confirm if that was a fruit or a edible thing to make a curry. I had a malayali aunty, tamil uncle and our own hyderabadi vendor(his urdu was funny though) – explaining me on how to preserve it and started pouring recipes. Recipes in three heavy accents J. Anything like this would happen in America/ Sort-Of countries. Heat a pan R...

Saturday, September 1, 2012. Its a tradition to share sprouts as part of "Thamboolam". After the puja i was left with so much of them. Hence i've decided to spice it up and server for breakfast. The other day we were at a dinner at my bro's place. He brought this store brought sprouts. Mixture of them - green moong, chana and all that can be sprouted. We've done a quick saute with green chillies, curry leaf and squeezed in lemon. Served as best snack for drinks. Chicken kebabs took a second ceat. Http:/ ...

Tuesday, May 15, 2012. I was wondering should i upload this recipe or not. Not a very unique or way-too different recipe. Its available all across the internet and very well written. But; then the sweet-feeling is there when i share my experience of cooking. I'm a big , BIGGGGGGG fan of legumes. I had them twice in the last week. My Co-Sister is with me - since we share the same love for these glorious lil. Beings - we've relished the dal like two crazy people. Anyways; lets get back to the recipe. Garli...

Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Baingan Bartha is one of my favorites in veg platter J. As a child I was so curious looking at these jumbo-sized EggPlants. Shiny, glowing, and the beautiful color of Eggplants entice me a lot. I first tasted this in a Punjabi dhaba. I fell in love with it instantly. Ever since I almost prepare twice in a month. The best part of this recipe is ; Baingan is cooked directly over the flame. And its lot fun performing the process. My first ever experiment was on my family J. Add fi...

Friday, August 24, 2012. Amarnath Leaves(Thotakura) with Dry Prawns. Dry Prawns are a favorite in-house. They go well when cooked with cabbage, bottle-gourd, ridge gourd or plain tomato. However my favourite remains the one with Amarnath leaves/thotakura. I love all greens and amarnath leaves/thotakura are no exception. Though my mom used to prepare this - i fell in love with it all over again when my pedhamma prepared it. Since then it has become a regular at our home. My good friend S got them. Heat a ...

Wednesday, March 21, 2012. Cooking this will be a very special memory. A memory i'd cherish for the rest of my life. My girlfriend KP came to home for a sleep over. I was sooooooooo excited. We cooked together, watched a movie , gossip, makeup :-). I remember when i was a kid; 11 years and back in town. My childhood home - miss it. Was one of the best houses. I did nothing less on this weekend when KP was here. Have been whistling , singing, dancing :). Most of her life she spend in North. Oil - 5 Tb SP.
