Adai Dosa {Savory Mixed Lentil Crepes}
Adai dosa is a kind of savory lentil crepes made in South India. Apart from the soaking time for lentils, the adais come together really quickly once the batter is made. Great choice for a healthy breakfast, after school snack or even light dinner. You must have heard of dosa, the ubiquitous South Indian breakfast…
Sweet Valentine’s Day Recipes
Valentine’s Day brings out the best and sometimes the worst in people. For some, the day has to be picture perfect, with flowers, wine, candlelit dinners and wooing; anything less and all hell breaks loose, while others couldn’t care less. As for the mister and I, we are in it just for the food. Especially…
Fresh Peach Muffins {With A Crunchy Oatmeal Streusel}
I love muffins, they are so much fun to bake and eat. The traditional muffin method is the easiest way of whipping up a baked treat. Just combine the dry and wet ingredients in a huge bowl, mix, bake and you’re done! Muffin recipes are usually really forgiving, and they turn out so fluffy and…
Oats, Quinoa And Almonds Breakfast Bowl With Plum Sauce
Breakfast is an area I have neglected on the blog. I seem to have shared just a couple of my favorites with you guys. On days when we are not having a traditional South Indian breakfast, a quick egg sandwich or a fancy fruity pancake, I resort to a bowl of cereal. Cheerios it is…
Avocado And Egg Toast
My blogging mantra is simple. Keep it simple, keep it real, keep it interesting. Some recipes hit one, maybe two of these criteria. But this particular one, has it all.

Yogurt, Berry And Granola Parfait
Last week, I introduced you to these new granola bars that can be baked at home with minimum fuss. While I loved the granola as such, I also wanted to use it in other creative, yet easy and healthy ways. And what better than parfait? Parfait was traditionally used to refer to a layered frozen…
Great Indian Breakfast – Rava Idli And Tiffin Sambar
In my opinion, nothing beats a sumptuous, filling and healthy Indian breakfast. It’s the perfect start to a busy day. We truly believe in the adage, “Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper”. This is supposed to help with your body’s metabolism and is quite beneficial if followed correctly….
Millet Pudding {Served With Cider-Poached Peaches}
I know what you are thinking. Where are the desserts? Aren’t you making any? Well, not much, actually. I got till the second week of January without baking anything. Then I buckled and made those little mug cakes for us one evening. But that doesn’t count, does it? Then, last week was Pongal (an Indian harvest festival) and…
Egg Vindaloo And String Hoppers (Idiyappam)
Every Indian transplant in the US or elsewhere brings with her (or him) a plethora of specialized kitchen utensils and equipments specific to Indian cooking. We need a big pressure cooker and a small one (and a medium one, if you are very particular), moulds and steamer vessels for making idlis, a traditional roti rolling-pin…
