Shortbread Squares

Shortbread Squares by Yamini Vasudevan

i have always had problems with maths – me and numbers don’t jive. i struggled through my school years when math was a compulsory part of the cirruculum and eagerly looked forward to shrugging it off when i entered university (of course, math confronted me in another form there – but thats another story). my biggest problem was not so…

Spicy Okra

Spicy Okra by Yamini Vasudevan

okra, also known as ladies finger/bhendi/vendaikkai, was a popular choice of vegetable in my house. i personally liked it, so i had no problems. but if any of my cousins did raise a protest, they were cajoled into eating it with the argument that it would help sharpen our brains - especially our math abilities. i personally didn’t see…

Home-made Paneer (Cottage Cheese)

Home-made Paneer (Cottage Cheese) by Yamini Vasudevan

i love paneer. frankly, i cant imagine what the world would be like if paneer had never been invented - no more paneer butter masala, paneer tikka or even good old palak paneer! oh man, thats a scary thought! anyways, coming back to the present, i usually use Amul’s paneer, but i haven’t been able to get my hands on it for the past…
