Bread? Check. Cheese? Check. Triple cheese? Yes, yes, yes! Chillies? Hell yeah! I enjoy toasts or open sandwiches and when toasts come with the works, there is no room for restraint. Flexing that willpower can wait. The combination of chillies and cheese on bread is something out of this world; […]
We, in Australia, are smack in the middle of winter. And ‘tis the season for comfort food cravings! Curries and soups are high on rotation for weeknight dinners. Yay for that! Being Indian, curries are usually a conversation starter when I talk to friends who are not from the South […]
This chutney is inspired by the super delicious chutney served in Guest Hotel, Chennai. This small, old restaurant has been a family favourite for years. It’s one of our go-to eateries for breakfast. If I am being completely honest with you, they serve three delicious chutneys, which is the real […]
Who would have thought me of all the people would enjoy sweet breakfasts! True to my Indian roots, my first preference for breakfast is always something savoury. I was raised on a hearty dose of idly, dosai, upma and the likes for the first meal of the day. So, can […]
I am all about the keeping the kitchen well-stocked with the pantry staples. My pantry shelves are adorned with a variety of ready-to-eat podis*, which are lifesavers during those lazy or sick days. If I am being absolutely honest, I could eat podi saadham in every meal! More than being […]
I can’t deny that I haven’t dreamt of a creamy pasta while on a keto lifestyle. Yes, I have enjoyed the occasional zoodles when those cravings hit but nothing compares to the creamy, carby pasta goodness. I have done a ridiculous amount of Google search to find the closest thing […]
If you have been to the states of South India and had the pleasure of savouring food in the restaurants there, you would have then most certainly come across a menu item that involves pepper and mushroom in some combination. In most restaurants Mushroom Pepper Varuval/ Mushroom Pepper Fry is […]
India’s diverse cuisine is a thing of wonder. It’s amazing how each state and region boasts of a cuisine that’s exquisite and full of history. From appetisers to desserts each cuisine will wow and leave you wanting more. Dal (Lentils) in some form of the other is one constant in […]
On my recent trip to India, we went to our favourite local restaurant that serves absolutely divine North Indian food. Our family has been patrons at the restaurant for almost a decade now; birthdays, casual dinner out or even milestone celebrations Shree Mithai remains our top pick. Of the many […]
Chowing down street food is one of my favourite things to do when I am home for a holiday, in India. It’s a rather special experience to see the chaatwala (the snack/ chaat vendor) put together your chaat of choice, right in front of your eyes. It is amazing to […]
I finally rescued my spiraliser from antiquity! It has been lying in oblivion for over 2 years. I’d say great timing, for me and the nifty gadget, because a zoodles (zucchini noodles) craving was all it took to put it to use again. I am not vegan by any measure; […]
Any south Indian tiffin is nearly incomplete without chutney. It amazes me how many varieties of chutnies there are to accompany the humble idly or dosai. Growing up in a Tamil household, we were always served some chutney or the other to accompany the humble idlies or dosais for breakfast/tiffin. […]
