After the yummy paneer burger, I have a more classic version today which is a vegetarian’s go-to option – Potato Burger or as McD calls it here Aloo Tikki Burger. I have made the patty for this one countless times but never as a burger style. Usually we make it as aloo tikki and have…

McD style Paneer Burger
Saying that I love paneer is similar to saying that the earth is round. Known undisputed fact. I include it in most dishes I make and it only turns out better. Ever since McD introduced the paneer burger, it is the only thing I order when we eat there. So when I picked the burger…
Dahi ke Tikki
I think it is pretty obvious by now that I am a die-hard fan of Venkatesh Bhat, the chef at Accord in Chennai. His cooking show ‘Samayal Samayal” is the only show I watch without fail. The best part about his show is that he makes most dishes seem easily achievable and cooking a pleasure…
Quick butter carrots
Its nice to be back on the blog after what feels like forever. Its been one month during which I made the mega move from Malaysia to India. So this is my first post from my temporary accommodation in Bangalore. I was not sure I could participate in this month’s BM since I would not…
Baby corn Manchurian
For the third and final day of One sauce Two dishes, I decided to make Babycorn Manchurian which was simply delicious. Surprisingly, my daughter gobbled up half of what I had made for myself. This is a quick and tasty dish for starters. You can make the sauce ahead of time and toss the…
Tofu Bhurji Rolls
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…
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…
Another way to bake potatoes
My two and half year old daughter has been pretty involved in bake-a-thon with me. Her eyes sparkle when I switch on the oven to preheat it and she runs around screaming -‘Amma, cake, bread’ irrespective of what is being baked. The best part was the husband asking her – ‘what is Amma doing?’…
