Tomato Bhaji/Tomatochi Chatni

December 20, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Tomato-Bhaji

Last week I was unable to make weekly purchase of my weekly essentials which primarily is about buying vegetables. I had a critical issue to address at office, and it demanded my complete attention. Well that is the sad part of my job, I never know when the emergency comes calling. So as it panned out, I could not go out and make purchase of vegetables and all that I was left with was few ripe tomatoes that kept staring back at me as I pulled out my vegetable tray, asking for my attention.

Surmai Tawa Fry (Seer Fish fry)

Surmai Tawa Fry

There are days when you partake in self-indulgence and cook an opulent meal for yourself and there are other days when you feel lazy. Once in a while, when I feel bogged down due to indolence I resort to some quick recipes that just lets me get done with my cooking ritual so that I could languish in my bed after lunch. Surmai Tawa Fry is an interesting recipe which strikes a fine balance between these two contrasting zones.

Phanasachi Bhaji (Unripe Jackfruit dry masala preparation)

June 28, 2015 by Smita Singh 4 Comments

Phanasachi Bhaji

What happens, when a Konkani visits Kerala for vacation? Well, it is like a home coming which is what I experienced when I took a vacation to Kerala last year. The breath taking beauty of coastlines, canvas of beaches, houses built of laterite stones and the striking resemblance of food items used in the cuisines. The list includes fishes, coconuts and many more food items. However, in today’s blog I would like to discuss about a fruit that is also a vegetable. You must have guessed it by now that I am referring to jackfruit.

Stir Fry Cabbage with chana dal-Cabbage Upkari

May 27, 2015 by Smita Singh 2 Comments

Stir-Fry-Cabbage-with-Chana-Dal-05

I love to sleep. In fact my husband is jealous of my sleep, more so when he is prone to even slightest of disturbances like neighbor’s barking dog. I agree barking dog could give many of you sleepless nights especially when other stray dogs decide to join the party and all these canines end up howling and whining entire night for no reason. I do not get disturbed by these unearthly howls and still manage to get sound sleep.

Tender Coconut Punch

May 14, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

 

Tender Coconut Punch-1

As per an old Swedish proverb “A life without love is like a year without summer”. I completely subscribe to the thought behind that lovely proverb, although I am not sure how many Indians would have that feeling for the summers. This month of May sun has been overbearing. As we crank up the air conditioning at home and offices to make it little cooler, I often see people become crankier in summers. As mercury raises so do our temper, which is why we witness increased level of honking in traffic and road rage incidents during summers.

Crab Masala-Kurlya Masala

Crab-Masala-4

Indian cuisine is so vast and diverse that I often wonder it would take a lifetime for me to experience this rich legacy of Indian food. Every state has its own rich food culture that warrants a separate cookbook. Having grown up in a North Indian family I had the privilege of enjoying North Indian food prepared by mom, but then there was a vast gamut of preparations that were unexplored.

Veg Raita

Its Summer time, and the first change that we implement in these days is we alter our diet. We need to stop consuming oily and spicy food and start eating fresh seasonal produce. Seasonal fruits like muskmelons, peaches, watermelons that are high in water content must be preferred.
