Ragi Muffins

This is my second recipe with ragi as the main ingredient per our theme of ‘Ingredient through mail’ where a pair of bloggers exchanged ingredients and had to cook with it. Padma of Plantain Leaf gave me ragi as the ingredient with which this is my second recipe after the chewy Ragi Bread I posted yesterday….

Ragi Bread

We have a very interesting theme for this month’s marathon. Valli, our boss lady, grouped us into teams of 2 and we had to exchange ingredients and cook three dishes on the basis of that. I am paired with Padma whose blog you should totally check out for some amazing Andhra recipes. She gave me…

It’s 2017 already?

This, as you can see, is the last post of this year which breezed past me like…well, a breeze. It was quite an eventful year. The daughter started school and was a lot more adjusted than I thought she would be. She switched schools mid year but yet managed to be reasonably comfortable in her…

Rosemary Cornbread

When people move between countries, they take the best of what is available in the country of origin that would not be available in the country of destination. eg people who move from Malaysia to India would ideally buy furniture or electronics because the former is seen to be of better quality and the latter…

Sweet Potato Bread

Sweet potato bread has been on my to-do list for over a year now. We got amazing sweet potatoes in abundance in Malaysia which made me try and include it more in our diet. I tried quite a few recipes with it and the daughter was too pleased with most results. But somehow I missed…

Bread Au Gratin

Shakespeare asked ‘what’s in a name?’ I am sure he would change his mind if he saw today’s world. The name makes so much of a difference. Even regular simple things are enhanced by a fancy name. Our curiosity is piqued, our temptations increase and we get that impulse to buy the fancy stuff just…

Bread Pockets

I have been terribly late in posting for this year’s Bake-a-thon as you can see multiple posts on the same day as against the schedule of thrice a week. I have been baking 3-4 dishes on the days I have time which has resulted in a flurry of activity, piling of dishes on the sink…

Lemon Tea Cake

Some recipes you bookmark to try later and others tempt you so much that you rush to your kitchen, make it at the earliest and rest only after you have sunk your teeth in a slice. This dish is one of the latter. It was made by Valli earlier in this Bake-a-thon and I saw…

Mint & Olive Bread

Like I said in my previous post, only when you have an ingredient in excess with a limited shelf life, you realize there are so many dishes that can be made with it. My next discovery with mint was the mint flavoured bread with olives in it. It is surely a must try for all…

Mint Rice

Remember I was telling you about the new vegetable vendor in our complex who was giving out free tomatoes? Seems like too many people cast their evil jealous eye on me and hence that vendor has stopped coming. Boo hoo. Serves me right for shouting out ‘free tomatoes’ from the rooftops. Anyway, the last time…
