Homemade Muesli turned out to be so easy and much for full of nuts than the store bought version! Muesli is European and more common in the Indian markets, but you can say it is the cousin of granola, which is more popular in America. I love granola! And granola bars – both the chewy…
Tofu Mushroom Burger Recipe

Pan Grilled Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe
Stuffed mushrooms sound so exotic. Many times in fancy restaurants, they are stuffed with crab meat or some such so I have never really indulged in them much. One attempt at tasting them in the local Malaka Spice was very disappointing. SO I set myself the task of making them at home and checking for…

Orange Couscous Salad – for summer evenings
With the summer at its peak, its the same story almost everywhere. We want to stay away from hot and heavy stuff and just enjoy something light and refreshing. What could be more refreshing than the tart bite of something citrus? I like to use lemons, limes and oranges a lot in almost all my…
