I make several kinds of tomato dishes – from just simple cooked and mashed tomatoes to gothsu. I like tomatoes, irrespective of whether it is with breakfast, lunch or dinner. Often, my tomato dishes are spicy, but the beauty of these dishes are that you can make it as spicy (or not at all) as…

Cabbage Soup
Yet another soup. This time, what several people consider to be superfood, cabbage. I hesitate to use cabbage in my salads, though I do on rare occasions. Mainly because it could contain worms that will not be removed through rinsing the cabbage. I therefore prefer cooked cabbage dishes. I was therefore delighted to discover this…
Broccoli Soup
I must credit this recipe to Sharan India. The Sharan website has several wonderful recipes, all WFPBNO. I credit my vegan journey completely to Sharan and Dr. Nandita Shah. I often try out the recipes from the Sharan website – all of them are really wonderful recipes. This broccoli soup pampers you so much that…
Spinach And Chickpea Soup
My love affair with soups continues. And I have to thank the iconic Tarla Dalal for this recipe. It was already vegan. All I had to do was omit the oil. But I wasn’t sure how this soup would turn out. I am not a great fan of spinach since I dislike the raw taste…
Carrot And Cauliflower Soup
I go through phases when I begin to experiment with a specific kind of food. For the past month, it has been soups. That’s mainly because the weather has turned cold (North India has a fairly pronounced winter). I therefore preferred hot or warm soups over cold salads. I appreciate that soups are nowhere close…
Asparagus Soup
Asparagus in not native to India. I find it in the market often, but priced really high. But I have come to like the taste of asparagus. I therefore buy it every once in a while. It normally goes into a salad with baby carrots. But this time, I was having a rollicking good time…
Curd Shorba (Yogurt Based Soup)

As the weather in Northern India turns colder, I crave a hot soup with my lunch everyday. So, I am experimenting with several types of soups. This one,…

Vegetable Broth
The weather is cold in Delhi. Medical wisdom says that we should include a lot of raw vegetables into our diet. The same school of medical wisdom also says that we should listen to our body when we consume food. In this cold weather, my body craves hot soups and wants to stay away from…
Bajra Dosa (Pearl Millet Crepe)
There are several varieties of dosa, though the rice and black lentil one is the gold standard and is most often made in most households. My home is no exception. But I do like to experiment with the other types too. The fermented dosas are the healthiest, but requires advance preparation. I had the urge…
