Hey, stop, don’t leave… you are in the right place… No, I haven’t suddenly turned vegan or anything like that. I had some leftover tofu that I was forced to buy, by a very persistent friend, some of which I successfully managed to hide in a guacamole. I was still left with almost 3/4th a block of soft tofu, so I asked my foodie friends here for some suggestions on what to do with it. I knew I could count […]

I made my first bread! While I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece, it didn’t turn out to be a total disaster, in fact it tasted pretty great! In the looks department, it was just okay… the top looked too dry and had some cracks, but the inside was really moist. I am so darn proud of my creation, I had this for dinner the night I made it.
It all started about three weeks ago, when I got an email from a favorite […]

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 Malayali.
But after moving to US, breakfast- if it ever happens- is normally cereal or yogurt. My body doesn’t even need breakfast anymore, the two […]

Sunday morning at 9:30 am, and Siv is deep in sleep… We had a fun night Saturday celebrating Hema’s birthday , first drinks at Earth & Ocean and then dinner at 1200 Bistro in Capitol Hill. I woke up a little early to talk to my sister in India, before it is too late over there. After all the talk about food and blog and stuff, I was getting kind of hungry and decided to whip up something special for […]
