Sesame Peanut Rice Noodles / Sevai – Breakfast in 5 minutes

November 13, 2013

Hot breakfast in 5 minutes, and it’s not cereal or toast or a fried egg! Or a smoothie for that matter. It’s this amazing thing called ‘dhideer sevai’ or instant rice noodles which you absolutely must stock in your kitchen. Unlike Maggi or any other 2 minute noodles, you don’t have to cook them. Imm

Apple Pie Pancakes: Easy recipe with the flavours of apple pie

October 14, 2013

What’s the connection between a little black dress, a good pair of blue jeans and a chocolate cake recipe? Like the importance of a good pair of jeans or a little black dress (okay, may be not) in the wardrobe, everyone needs a good, reliable chocolate cake recipe in their cooking repertoire. A choc

Molaga Maanga – an instant raw mango pickle

May 8, 2013

This was the only pickle I liked as a kid, which I had fondly christened- ‘square maanga’ because it was cut in a square dice. In the hot summers of Bombay, curd rice would taste divine anyway. A tiny bit of this square maanga with the curd rice would always take it to another level of divine. Often

Yard long beans curry : Karamani curry – Garden to plate

November 17, 2012

Yard long beans (Chauli / Karamani) have not been my most favourite vegetable, because they are often tough and stringy when bought from the supermarket. Ever since I started growing these in my garden, I’ve changed my opinion about this vegetable. Seeds from Auchan (formerly SPAR) Supermarket, Ban

Chai Spiced Mini Pumpkin Mini Bundts with glaze – #bundtamonth

November 13, 2012

This Diwali, I didn’t get down to making any of the traditional goodies. And I managed to find a valid excuse. Being down with the worst cough episode of the year during the festive season is such a dampener. But when loving neighbours get you home-made goodies, you can’t help but muster some enthus

Crustless Chard Quiche There’s something wonderful about quiches, they fit perfectly as a meal for any time of the day – be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. The only thing that probably deters people from making this is the mess (well, a little) of making and blind baking the crust and the quantity of
