My journey for burger buns started with Hari’s outstanding potato burger. He often makes this whenever he bakes a normal whole wheat loaf. It was then that I thought that it would be great to have the burger with a proper bun. My search for a WFPB burger bun on the internet yielded no great…

Lotus Root Curry
I first bought lotus root in the late 80’s. To try a dish from a cookbook. Needless to say, it was unmitigated disaster. Thereafter, I stopped buying lotus root completely, It is only very recently that Hari told me to buy some. I told him that it was conditional to him making me a great…
Hurigaalu (Roasted Snack)
Hurigaalu is a roasted snack from the state of Karnataka. It is widely available at retail outlets all over the state – but isn’t homemade the best? It is a crunchy and delicious snack, packed with proteins. Though it takes a significant amount of prep time, the effort is well worth it. And, since it…
Bhendi Do Pyaza (Okra And Onion)
It seems to me that India is going through a food revolution. People are experimenting with food and tastes. I belong to a food group from the very tiny region called Palakkad. Many of the recipes posted here are from various other parts of the country, not necessarily Palakkad. There are lots of international recipes…
Senaikizhangu Roast (Elephant Yam Curry)
Elephant yam is plentifully available throughout India. But I suspect that it is not a very popular vegetable in most parts of the country – at least to serve guests. Probably because it may cause itching (in raw form, not when cooked) for some people. I have lived in North India for almost 37 years…
Instant Kodo Millet Dosa
Dosas are staple food in most South Indian households. They are made at least once a week, either for breakfast or dinner. The traditional dosa requires fermentation – and therefore to be planned ahead. So, dosa batter (and idli batter) are always stored in the refrigerator to be used whenever one feels in the mood…
Tangy Tomato Chutney
Chutneys are an integral part of every Indian household. Every state in the country has its own chutney. While nobody has actually counted, there must be countless chutneys prepared across the length and breadth of India. In addition, each household has it’s own variation of each chutney. These ‘dips’ or accompaniments are very easy to…
Curd Rice
Yesterday was the festival of Aadi Perukku, a festival celebrating water. Devotees normally prepare a variety of rice dishes on this day. You will find many of these in this blog (look under “Rice”). While there are many rice recipes, I realised that I have not posted a curd rice recipe – perhaps because it…
Proso Millet Upma
Upma is a typically South Indian dish, normally served at breakfast. But it can be had at lunch or dinner too. Or even as a quick snack. It is the go-to option when unexpected guests drop in. Upma is comfort food for many South Indians. The classic upma uses semolina (ravai, suji) as the main…
Sesame Soba Noodles
I have been out of stock of noodles for some months now. I was therefore really delighted to visit the shop a couple of weeks ago and pick up my stock. I wanted to try something different with the soba noodles, but the challenge was that many ingredients arHoe not readily available. I therefore decided…
