Golden Temple Amritsar – Memorable Visit
Apart from a brief stopover on a flight to Srinagar, I had never been to Amritsar. The Golden Temple, the holy place of the Sikhs needs no introduction.

Meatless Quesadillas – gooey punch
Quesadillas (kay-see-dee-yaa) are probably the most popular Mexican food. Kids or grown-ups, no one can really refuse one.

Chana Masala with zero oil – High on Flavor
I dare you to step out of your comfort zone and try this. Not only is this high on flavor, but is also low in calories. Directly minus the calories from the oil you would use otherwise for a chana masala. The trick to this is not harping on the fact that there is no…
Churmura Laddu Recipe – Low calorie treat
I have always wanted to make these and always thought it must be complicated. Making the right type of syrup that would hold the scores of churmura or murmura together to actually form a laddu – it seemed impossible. But it has turned out to be deceptively simple. This is one low calorie treat that…
Tofu Kebabs or Tofu Paneer Tikka – Pan grilled perfection
Its been a long time since I have had time to blog about something. This recipe is something I make often and is a favorite but seems so commonplace to us that it does not feel like something you would blog about. I make this with tofu, but the same technique can be applied to…
