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…

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…
Awadhi Vegetable Biryani
I was keen to begin this mega marathon with a biryani and what better than a traditional Awadhi Vegetable Biryani. It hails from the beautiful city of Lucknow and is also called Lucknow Biryani.

Later, when I moved to Chennai and then to Bangalore I realized that the reverse was…
Pea & Mint Soup
I have missed my peas terribly. Fresh peas were never available in Malaysia and I have a grudge against frozen ones. Don’t ask me why. It is a grudge, it is not supposed to be based on cold logic and reasonable arguments. Since they are my favorite and I could not have them for the…
