I barely made it to my own event, that is how hectic life’s been lately! But the good news is that I have a four day weekend coming up and we are going away on a mini-break. Nothing major, driving to a nearby town with a group of friends for some much needed R&R. So I won’t get to do the JFI-Tamarind round up till early next week, therefore if you want to send me some more Tamarind entries, you […]

This is a two part post with the two parts having no connection to each other. I am too jet-lagged and sleepy to come up with some twisted way of joining the two as I sometimes do. So feel free to skip the first part and jump to the recipe directly. Sorry, but I must rant!

So if I can, I don’t let him cook on weekdays. He does most of his cooking on weekends.
I try […]

I am ashamed to admit this, but when it comes to the myriad cuisines of India, I am more or less ignorant about most regional flavors other than a few. That is why I love the food event RCI - Regional Cuisines of India, brainchild of Lakshmi of Veggie Cuisine. Even though I don’t participate every month, I look forward to the round up to learn more about the cuisine of the month.
This month’s RCI theme is Punjabi cuisine, another great genre […]

Indian dishes don’t photograph very well. Okay, let me rephrase that, I don’t know how to make Indian dishes look good in pictures. I had about 30 pictures of this dish, but didn’t really like any, spent about an hour trying to find a decent one, and finally here is one I hope at least look appetizing enough. Let me know if you have any tips on taking better curry pictures. I didn’t want to not publish this recipe just because the […]
