Have you ever noticed a goat or a cow grazing? There is something common….those two animals keep chewing all the time. Seems like I have something in common with them :) Oh yes, I’ve told you several times about how I like to munch something every now and then. Can you believe it when I [...]
How was your Onam celebrations? Hope you had a great time with your friends & family. We celebrated Onam at our friend Vinod & Deepthi’s place. I know I didnt wish you Onam. I didnt make anything special for Onam & I felt bad wishing you Onam empty handed. However if you are a Non [...]
Ramadan Kareem! The holy month of Ramadan started last week. Some of you sent me email asking for special Ramadan recipes. That’s when I was reminded about the Malabar Cuisine cookery book I bought from Kerala last year. Though I had bookmarked many recipes in that book, didn’t get a chance to try any. So [...]
I was just waiting for this day. Yep, its Sweet Punch time again and this month I got to select the recipe. Now you know why I was waiting ;). As per the list made by the Sweet Punch team, it was either roulade or swiss roll. If you are wondering what’s the difference between [...]
Sometimes when I tell people that my appa is a pure vegetarian, they ask me whether I’ve considered being a veggie. I’m almost about to say yes, but then at that precise moment, my mind dishes out the picture of deep dark beef fry topped with thengakothu (coconut bites), followed by chemmeen roast (prawns roast) [...]
I like homemade idli & restaurant dosas :). What about you? I’m not sure why… but my dosas never become crispy like the restaurant ones. May be because I just cant bring myself to drench dosa with oil or ghee and I feel less guilty when somebody else does it for me ;) Both of [...]
Before anything else, let me tell you something. I showed this picture to 2 people and they both said they didnt like the thread in the picture. Come to think of it, even I didnt like it much. But I felt so lazy to take photos again and may be in my defense I can [...]
Sweet Punch time again. This month’s challenge was selected by Divs. She chose these lovely cupcake recipe from Baking Bites. I very much enjoyed baking these. Its a very soft & moist cupcake and the filling makes it grande. There were 3 stages in the recipe, making cupcake, filling them and frosting them. I didnt [...]
These days whenever I pick up a magazine or newspaper, I notice that they reserve a sizable amount of pages/space for healthy eating. Wherever you look, you see articles about healthy eating, ads marketing healthy food stuff, people advocating healthy life style. Me being an extremist tends to take one of the following courses as [...]
This is actually a prawns recipe and I so badly wanted to make it but then it didnt happen. Finally I ended up using chicken and this Little Miss Honey Chicken was happy to do a “prawns pose” while taking the snap ;). This is a pretty simple recipe which is great as a starter [...]
Choru (rice), a thoran (veggie with coconut), a mezhukkuperatti (stir fried veggie without coconut), a non veg dish and a chaaru (gravy) curry. This is the standard lunch menu back home. Even when I started cooking I also used to have the same menu. As the years passed on, there was a slight change. If [...]
