How to eat Indian Gooseberries/Amla/Nellikai

  Food blogging can be quite preoccupying sometimes. After I started blogging, any exciting recipe, any new vegetable in the market, any seasonal fruit I see all I can think of is to share it with all my readers. If you are a foodblogger I know you are nodding your head right now. I bought [...]

Sweet ‘N’ Spicy Banana Tahini muffins with Cinnamon (GF+ Vegan)

  Don’t you just love the opportunities that come with overripe bananas? I surely do! Once again… I had some overripe bananas which needed to be used as soon as possible. I hate throwing away bananas. If I am not in a mood to bake, i just freeze them. But today I had also run [...]

My Favorite Bengali Aloor Dum

  India is a land of magnificent curries. I eat some curry almost everyday. Most often it’s something South Indian but I also enjoy curries from other parts of the country. I come across so many different new recipes everyday, something some friend, aunt, cousin or neighbor made and most of them taste really good. [...]

Banana Apricot Muffins (Whole Wheat & Vegan)

It’s Tuesday again! I feel like my days are flying faster than ever. I hardly have any time to think these days. Life has been busy. After a weekend break at my aunt farm I was all ready to get back to some work yesterday but my daughter had different plans. She woke up and [...]

Vegan Chocolate Coffee Cake

  I belong to a category of people who believe a cake is a cake only if it involves chocolate! I know that does not sound right but I just can’t help it. I baked several cakes last week when my mom was in town. Mom does not really like chocolate, she loves fruit cakes! [...]

Konkani Style Baby Potatoes with Asafetida

  I wake up to the sound of street vendors selling fresh greens and vegetables. ‘Soppu!… Soppu!…’ (Greens!… Greens!…) or ‘Tarkariiiii….’ (Vegetables) are the same words I hear every morning. I love that fact that I live in Bangalore South (which is the old part of bangalore). The narrow street i live in has street [...]

Chickpea Salad to Eat Simple…

  I am amazed by how we want to complicate our perfectly happy life. I often wonder why we can’t be content with what we have and enjoy simple things that really matter. I question why we don’t feel like what we already have is enough. A breath of fresh air, a warm hug by [...]

‘Harive Hashi’, Amaranth Leaves in Raw Coconut, Yoghurt Sauce.

Bangalore is getting hotter. Hot weather makes me crave simple South Indian Food. Basic rice with simple light curries, vegetable stir-fries which are low on spices and lots and lots of yoghurt is what I really want these days. South Indians love their yoghurt with rice or ‘curd rice’ as we call it. In summer [...]

Get a little closer to me and blogs I love through Versatile Blogging…

  I am not  very social person. I am not that bad… I never come across as ‘unfriendly’ but I don’t really have a large number of friends. I just feel happier by myself and am really reluctant about meeting new people. I think the main reason for not making too many friends is also [...]
