The bake for Baking Partners # 6 is a tart and I chose a savory tart suggested by Samantha. I made half the recipe, following the recipe to dart, except for the cheese. The recipe called for gruyere cheese and I used gruyere cheese for half the tart and paneer (Indian cheese) for the other… more

This month I am very late in posting my recipe for Baking Partners. I apologize for the delay. The theme for this month is cookies. We were given three cookies and asked to bake at least on recipe. When the recipes were revealed, I deiced to bake Oreo cookies. Instead, I ended up baking cornflake… more

Last year for Christmas, my nephew gave me a cookbook, The Food52 Cookbook: 140 Winning Recipes from Exceptional Home Cooks. As the title suggests, all the recipes are from home cooks and some of them are bloggers. The recipe for Zucchini Lemon Cookies was shared by Kelsey The Naptime Chef caught my eye and bookmarked… more

For the last day of “deep fried food made healthy by baking” theme, I chose to do spicy peanuts. I contemplated between peanuts & potato fries. Potato fries have been on my to-do list for quite some time but I have seen way too many baked potato fries making rounds in the blogosphere and was… more

Once upon a time, when I was little, fried chana dal was prepared quite often as a snack. Whenever palaharam (snacks with longer shelf life) was made at home, fried chana dal was often on the list. Gradually it disappeared from the list and always wondered why? I liked munching on spiced chana dal as… more

I am starting blogging marathon # 18 under the theme “deep fried foods made healthy by baking or steaming”. I must say, it is one of the most challenging themes I have done so far in these marathons! When I chose this theme, I had a few recipes on mind but never tried them. I… more

It has been raining all day today and it was definitely not a salad kind of a day. I wanted to make a nice hot soup instead. Since I have to stick to my theme, I made this quick salad. I usually like my melons unseasoned and when growing up, I use to add some… more

For the last day of the marathon, cooking by Alphabets is G. I have for G for Guacamole. It is a Mexican dip made of avocados. It is such an easy preparation that even a 5 year old cannot go wrong with this preparation. Before I get to the recipe, here the recipes I posted… more

For day 6 of the marathon, it is Fattoush, a Lebanese bread salad. Pita bread is deep fried or oven baked, as I did, and added to the vegetables to make the salad. The magic ingredient for this salad seems to be Sumac, a spice from the Mediterranean. It supposedly has a lemony flavor and… more

Today is the fifth day of the marathon and the recipe name starts with “E”. Coming up with a dish that starts with letter “E” was quite challenging. I always had egg recipes; egg curry or egg fried rice as backup recipes but I was not keen on posting either of those. All I could… more
