healthy vegetarian cooking

Whether you are relocating from abroad or from another city in India, you may want to know where certain ingredients, equipment will be available, so you feel at home immediately. Most of the sto
What’s Christmas without Fruit Cake! (which is how Christmas Cake is also known) When I was a kid, my mom would buy the most delicious Plum Cakes from a cake-seller who would come to their bank quite regularly. These fruit cakes are no replacement for those childhood memories of rich-dark cake, but

And opposites attract, don’t they. What better way to complement the hot and flavour blasting chili than this mildly sweet cornbread, scented with cumin and coriander leaves?
This is a quick and easy cake made with just 2 tablespoons of oil, egg free, and big on flavour. Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee
A trip to Madras is incomplete without a drive to Pondicherry. Once, we took up a homestay and stayed over for a couple of nights – walking around the lovely streets in the French quarter, peering into some bookshops, boutiques, incense and candle shops while we were there. During a peek into one su

I am not a big fan of store bought cereals. However I do stock whole wheat flakes and unsweetened cornflakes for breakfast in a hurry. Buying boxed cereals with sugar and salt overload are totally avoidable as the first meal of the day. Oats is another regular during breakfast hours. That is one thi
