A Me-Me and a Game

My blogger buddy Cynthia (who coincidentally celebrated her birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday Cyn… ) tagged me for a meme to write seven random facts about me. So here you go… As a kid, I used to be (still am to a certain extent) a big germaphobe and would refuse to drink/eat anything from restaurants. That [...]

Orange Blueberry Granita with a Hint of Ginger

Isn’t it great when you set out to make one dish and it gets messed up, but you realize that your mess can be called something else? That is what happened to me last night. I intended to make a sorbet, but it never quite became one, the texture was too coarse, and looked very [...]

Spicing It Up with Kadala Curry

Growing up, all the breakfast dishes at my house fell into one category - Spicy! Dosa + chutney, idli + sambar, puttu + kadala, appam + egg curry, kappa + fish curry, poori + chicken curry, the list goes on…  Don’t think I grew up in a weird family, these are the typical breakfast dishes of a [...]

RumRazz – Raspberry Cocktail

I can’t resist picking up some of fresh berries on my market runs in summer. When I see the colorful berries I get so many recipe ideas- desserts, sauces, salads etc. I pick up a box or two while daydreaming how beautiful the dishes are going to turn out, but I get too lazy and end [...]

Catfish Curry – Kerala Style

It’s been a few days since my last post. My parents finally arrived last weekend, so as you can imagine I’ve been busy with the onboarding process. Its been almost five years since their last visit, also we weren’t living in the city last time they were around, so it took a bit of orientation time. Even [...]

Kerala Prawn Fry

Has this ever happened to you? You find this interesting recipe in a cookbook. You check the fridge and pantry and see that most of the ingredients are there. You put your chef’s hat on and get cooking, adding your own special touches to the recipe. The dish turns out to be a masterpiece, tastes wonderful, looks great! [...]

Another Milestone- This time it is personal!

Tomorrow is our Ninth wedding anniversary. We’ve known each other for eleven years now! Do you know the best part about getting married really young? You grow up with each other, you mature into adulthood with each other. You know every small thing about each other… You can sense what each other is thinking without [...]

Mistral

After I wrote about Mistral in my Fave Five Seattle Restaurants post, I’ve been craving Mistral food. So for an early wedding anniversary celebration, instead of going to Herbfarm as planned, we headed over to Mistral to check if the food is as good as we remembered. We had it right, the food was as good or even [...]

Jackfruit Yogurt Panna Cotta with Blueberry Coulis

Do you think the name is a little too long? I actually wanted to call this post Cardamom infused Jackfruit Yogurt Panna Cotta with Blueberry Coulis and Jackfruit Puree… but it looked just a tad too long. I like naming my posts with the names of the major ingredients, since that improves the search engine visibility. Yes, it is fun to [...]
