Recipe : Masala Idli (Vegan)This recipe is a great way to finish leftover idlis or rava idlis. Rava Idlis normally have chillies, peas, seasoning and some other vegetables in them. If you are using plain idlis, you may want to use more masala and spice for more flavour.The husband prefers to have the idlis nicely crisped up in this dish. But if your rava idlis… |

Twinings Green Tea - Lemon & HoneyEver since my sister got me started on Green Tea as a way to increase my metabolism, I have finally been converted to a tea drinker. Prior to this, I would only have a hot coffee in the peak of winter when I needed to warm myself from the inside, otherwise I never drank hot tea or coffee.Initially it was tough to drink green tea in… |

Recipe : Gharwala Rajma - Indian Homestyle Kidney Beans (Vegan)Rajma in some ways is comfort food for me, which is strange. Mum and grandma hardly ever made Rajma when we were growing up (since our diet was primarily non vegetarian, we did not need the proteins from lentils/dhals, when a tastier meat, egg or fish… |

Roohafza - A Cooling Summer Sherbet/SharbathMy husband absolutely loves this drink. Its something that brings back memories of carefree childhood summer days playing in the sun and coming home to an ice cold glass of cooling sherbet/sharbath.For me, I much prefer the regular rose syrup /sherbet to Roohafza. On our last trip to my inlaws place, his mum had made ice candies with… |

Recipe : Korivikaram - Red Chilli Chutney - from Cooking at Home with PedathaAt the market the other day, I saw these beautiful plump ripe red chillies and just bought them on impulse.

Recipe : Beetroot and Raw Mango Clear Soup (Vegan)Very often when cooking beetroot, we normally just throw away the water in which the beetroots have been boiled.Given that I have been looking up Ayurvedic (where water that vegetables are boiled in, is also nutritious) and Bengali recipes (which rarely throw away anything as waste), I decided to make a soup with the water this time.… |

Recipe : Bocconcini Salad with Mustard Dressing from "The Sood Family Cookbook"As most of my friends and family know, I have a ton of cookbooks. My husband jokes that even if I cook 5 recipes from each of my books every day of the year, I will never be able to repeat a dish. However, in reality, I normally end up cooking from… |

Recipe : Cafe Style Iced Cold CoffeeWe are in the middle of moving houses (within Ahmedabad itself), hence my frequency of cooking and posting has reduced drastically. I have spread out the actual moving itself across 10 days, so I'm quite exhausted at the end of the evening and land up at some coffee shop or the other for a nice chilled coffee.However, today I was too… |

Recipe : Instant Mango Pickle (Vegan)This is a recipe that a Malyali friend told me about ages ago. I end up making it almost every summer (multiple times) as soon as green mangoes are available in the market.The trick to making this pickle that is instant (no sunning, brining etc required) is to choose green mangoes that have the right amount of tartness for you. If… |
