Simplest ever yogurt muffins

February 7, 2010

Ever** since his famous No Knead Bread, I have been in love with Mark Bittman. Needless to say I was so excited when S got me his ‘How to cook everything vegetarian’ a couple of years ago. That book is an encyclopedia and even for someone who has been cooking vegetarian stuff all these years, I discover new ideas all the time. His muffins chapter has a simple muffins recipe and all the modifications / substitutions you can make to bake your favourites. On a Sunday morning, these seemed like the perfect things to go with a cup of milk as a light breakfast to precede a heavy lunch

Karela with kachori masala – Bitter gourd made better

July 16, 2009

As a child, I didn’t have the choice to avoid any foods. Whatever was made at home, I had to eat – and while at that time I hated the rules, I now realise that thanks to this, I appreciate all kinds of foods today. Bitter gourd was one exception though at that time, where I would have the option to

Quick Dinner Recipe: Couscous with roasted vegetables

July 14, 2009

Today was a nearly perfect day – with things going as planned, rains generously hitting the city, water crisis in the house somewhat better, chores getting done before schedule and one dirty window sill cleared of pigeon droppings, and me managing to catch 2 episodes of Jeeves and Wooster in the afternoon while baby was sleeping. And hey, the little boy entertained himself with a kitchen towel, a tomato and a cooker-vessel. Was that a sign??

Wacky Banana Cake

There are some blogs I follow because I know their tried and tested recipes will come to my rescue each time I’m facing a dilemma as to what to cook! Then there are some other blogs which I visit purely for reading pleasure – either because I cannot procure most of the ingredients they use or they w

Traditional Lunch Series – Day 5 (Carrot Sambar, Avarakkai Curry)

June 5, 2008

Nothing much to ramble or ‘show’ today. The menu was an attempt to clear up the Sword beans (English equivalent of Avaraikkai ) my help had chopped up yesterday. The fat sweet carrots found themselves sliced and being thrown into the Carrot sambar…where they swam until they were devoured by us.

Cracked wheat with tons of veggies

This dish is modeled after the excellent Vegetable Baath that my mom makes. Baath is nothing to do with bathing, but this is a rice dish, that has loads of vegetables that are finely chopped, sauteed with whole spices and spice powders. The cooked rice is then cooled and delicately hand-mixed with t

Sprouts for breakfast – Healthy eats WBB

March 2, 2008

As a vegetarian, I’m always looking for ways to include quality proteins in our diet. Since we are not too keen on dairy products or eggs – beans, lentils, sprouts and soy are our main options. I love oats porridge or wheat flakes as an easy breakfast as they are rich in fibre, but being low in prot
