One of the tougher things to do is to get the husband try eating new dishes. He is very content eating sambhar, rice and veggies everyday. So my latest trick has been to give him BM as the reason for all my new dish experiments. It’s working so far. Ever since we moved to…

Paneer Bhurji
Paneer is one of my favorite foods and the best part about it is it goes with almost anything and everything. It makes the daughter eat faster. My usual recipe for paneer bhurji is to add whatever vegetables I have on hand and mix it with the paneer. Today I had some mushrooms and…
Bhurji and Sprouts Noodles
My cravings for the day never matches up with what needs to be cooked or the ingredients in the house. Don’t know why but I have been wanting to have some noodles for the past two days. But crazy schedules and backlogs mean that I have to cook and post on the same day…
Bhel Puri quick fix
The old saying goes – neccesity is the mother of invention. But I can’t fully agree with it. It’s not just necessity, it is necessity coupled with some amount of laziness. Like I keep saying, I miss India and more particularly Mumbai and its street food. I was used to eating bhel puri at…
Pav Bhaji
When I signed up for the street food theme for this Blogging Marathon, I had ideas about exploring street food in all the places I have stayed. But I could hardly look beyond Bombay because I am extremely home sick or more specifically, home food sick and there are so many dishes I associate…
Ragada Patties
Mumbai street food is something that I have missed the most ever since I moved out from there. Despite the same dishes being available everywhere else, it never felt the same. Every time I visited Mumbai from Chennai / Bangalore, I would visit all my favorite joints to gobble up the pav bhajis, vada…
Classic Chocolate Cake
There are few things more comforting that chocolate cake….very few things. This is my third and final recipe from the Top 100 recipes. I followed the recipe completely. The only change was that I halved the recipe. It turned out so well. WHAT WE NEED Unsalted butter 1/3 cup Granulated…
Sour Cream Cucumber
This is the second day of this week where I need to pick a recipe from the Top 100 recipes of 2015. This recipe was an absolute surprise. I picked it because I had less time and had to do something quickly. Since I had all the ingredients for this one, I figured I…
Homemade Pizza
My theme for this week’s theme is pretty interesting. I have to cook three recipes from the Top 100 recipes of 2015 from here. The list has so many amazing recipes that it is hard to pick just three. But I have been having cheesy cravings for a while now. Don’t ask what’s new!…
Cheesy Potato Soup
I figured another soup recipe would be a good finish to this week’s marathon. I was struggling to choose between a nutritious beetroot soup (a recipe that has been in the ‘to do’ list for ages) and this creamy, cheesy, rich potato soup. Not much of a contest especially since it’s so much easier…
