Honey Vermicelli Payasam for breakfast!

Microwave Vermicelli Cereal

Phew! I am almost at the finish line! This concludes my 15 day blogging marathon. It was fun doing the marathon but at times, it was a little stressful coming up with a post every day. A week into the marathon, I kept wondering how my buddies are doing a month long marathon? Kudos to… more

Showing you my freezer!

My freezer1

Few days ago Nupur did a post on Freezing Indian Food. Since I saw her post, I was thinking of doing a post here. Today I thought of showing  you my freezer. I am not into freezing curries and buying frozen dinners from the store. So, don’t expect any curries in my freezer.  I prefer… more

Ground Chicken Vegetable Pulao

Ground Chicken & Vegetables Pulao

This recipe has been sitting in my drafts for over a year. I drafted this post a year ago when I last  made this pulao. I used to make this pulao a lot until I started making goat kheema biryani. Ever since then, we abandoned this pulao and got addicted to kheema biryani. We always… more

Cabbage Cucumber Salad with Mustard Yogurt Dressing

Cabbage cucumber in mustard yougurt dressing

The name of the recipe sounds very fancy, doesn’t it?  Well, it is non other than cabbage cucumber raita. I bookmarked the recipe over two years ago when Nupur did a guest post on Sailu’s Kitchen.  The recipe she posted is a salad but I modified it to raita.  Every time I post a raita… more

Mushroom Masala

Mushroom Masala

This mushroom masala is inspired by Bharathy’s post.  I make mushroom masala/curry  similar to hers  but I do not use curry powder in my preparation.  When I saw her recipe, it reminded me of the curry powder in  my spice cabinet that is  seldom used.  Since then, I made it couple of times when we… more

Miryala Chaaru

Miryala Chaaru ~ Pepper Soup

Rasam or chaaru is one of my favorite comfort foods. In winters, especially on a cold snowy winter day like today, it is always on top of my list.   I made this soup today but the picture is from last month.   It snowed all day today and there was very little natural light.  I… more

Eating spinach with iron absorption enhancers like meats, poultry, shellfish, tomatoes and citrus food makes the iron easily absorb-able. More information of on… more

Egg Bhurji~Scrambled Eggs

Egg Bhurji

Egg bhurji or scrambled egg is a quick and easy recipe that can be served with rice and roti, or used as a filling for wraps and sandwiches. Until few years ago, I never tasted egg bhurji. One day, when talking to me cousin, she proudly told me that she made egg bhurji! After hanging… more

Spinach Fry

Spiach Fry

Spinach is one vegetable I make very often. I like anything cooked with spinach, spinach raita, spinach rice, spinach kheema, spinach dal and in soups, unlike U, whose first choice is always spinach fry. He would not mind if a gave him this almost everyday, for a fortnight! That is how much he likes this… more

Showing you my cookbooks

Cookbooks

I have been posting a recipe for the past one week and for a change, I wanted to post something different today. post something other than a recipe.  As I was going through my drafts, I came across this one.  I wanted to do  this post last month,  for Divya’s Show Me Your Cookbooks event… more

Over the years, I collected the above books and remember cooking very few recipes  from a handful of above books.    I have cooked a couple of recipes from The Fish & Seafood cookbook, made rasam powder from Cooking with Pedatha, Chili Yogurt Mushrooms from the Curries, Raj’s Chicken Cutlet & Kerala Fish Curry from the New Indian.  Bye the way, I won the last cookbook, Anjum Anand’s New Indian in a free giveaway contest.  I have couple of more recipes on my to try out list from this cookbook.

That’s all for now about my cookbooks and check out what my fellow blogging marathoners Srivalli, Priya Suresh, Jaya, Monika, PJ, Priya Vaasu, Azeema, Reva, Ayeesha, Veena, Soumya & Gayathri.
