We can’t have a soup theme and not make beetroot soup. I was contemplating the popular Borscht Soup but due to many reasons (mostly laziness) I decided against it, at least for now. I love to eat beetroot but making it not my favorite task. It gets its colour all over my kitchen which sports…

Pea & Mint Soup
Peas is one of my favourite ingredients for most dishes and this pea mint soup is a delightful addition to a peas recipe repertoire. We have a delightfully chilly weather in Bangalore right now and that is making me revisit all my old soup recipes. Pair this with a bowl of salad or a couple…
Spinach Soup
There are multiple ways to eat spinach but few match the warm spinach soup on a cold day. Bangalore has an enviable chilly weather now which is just perfect to make yourself a soup irrespective of the time of day. Take a large bowl of this spinach soup with some bread for lunch or dinner….
Peas Paneer Paratha
My dish for today is green peas paratha with paneer. My daughter loves paratha of any kind. In other words, if it is round and topped with ghee it can easily be named paratha and she would eat it. So as any mother would, I manage to stuff all kinds of vegetables in the parathas…
Saffron Mawa Cake
The final post for this year is this delicious Mawa cake. I wanted to end 2020 with something sweet irrespective of how the year went. This is for some hope and cheer for 2021. This is a rich, bit dense cake with saffron, Mawa (khoya), curds, milk, ghee and cream. I know what you are…
Rava Kunuku / Semolina Fritters
What I am struggling the most these past few months is coming up with quick and easy snacks for the evening, especially what everyone at home likes. This rava kunukku or semolina fritters is one of the few that made the cut. The mixture of rava and curds makes it a soft and spongy snack…
Mango Shrikhand
This mango shrikhand is a lovely side to the varied flatbreads we make. As delicious as breads are, most people don’t like to eat them as is. We need some accompaniment to go with them. Since it is summer a mango side is the need of the hour. I chanced upon some delicious juicy alphonso…
Sourdough discard Cookies
Since we have a lot of sourdough discard from all the sourdough we fed and developed, it is time to put them to good use by baking some delicious cookies. This is a quick and easy bunch of cookies to bake and we get to finish up all the discard from the refrigerator. Good deal…
Eggless Herbed Scones
The daughter loves scones and so do I. It reminds me of the endless stories from my childhood when I read Enid Blyton tales with secret picnics, afternoon teas and midnight feasts and almost everyone of them having scones on the menu. As a child I was so curious about what scones are and how…
Announcing Kids’ Delight – Savory Bakes
I am hosting Srivalli’s Kid’s Delight event for a whole month – from June 16 – July 15. The theme for this event is Savory Bakes. Whenever I tell people I bake, the most frequently asked question is if I would bake a cake for them. If you know me you know how much I…
