The best dishes are those that manage to surprise. When I started to make this salad, I was not sure as to how it would turn out but I really wanted to clear out my refrigerator and I needed a recipe for the Blogging Marathon. So I prodded ahead. But it was such a…

Chat Salad
When I picked the Salads theme for this week’s Blogging Marathon, my idea was to finally start my ‘healthy eating’, three months into the new year. I read up a lot on salads and various dressings but fell back to my default regular recipes which I make for myself. These are my go-to recipes…
Apple Crisp
When I started the CCChallenge, I thought I would blog about all the recipes from the multitudes of paper cuttings and books I picked up over the years but never looked at. But I seem to be buying new books now and the pile is simply increasing and the backlog becoming worse! This recipe…
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…
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…
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…
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…
