Some things are so simple that they fall off the radar. I have wanted to blog about this cold Spanish soup for years. But it always gets swept under the rug because ‘ Oh gazpacho! I can do that any time’. The scorching sun is really making me miserable this year. Actually, it does that…
Paneer 65 Recipe – Simple Indian Appetizer
The ‘65’ dish has always eluded me. Hyderabadis are crazy about it. I have many a friend from the Charminar city who has waxed on and on about Chicken 65. But whenever I have seen it served, it has always been suspiciously red, either with color or chili. Since I do not care for them,…

If you are a fan of Elaine Benis and Seinfeld, you obviously remember the ‘big salad’ episode. Could anyone but Julia Dreyfus have carried it off? I have been eating a salad almost every day for years. It is one of the things I miss most about my desk job – heading to the cafeteria…

Don’t worry, because once you read this post, you will be able…
Eggless Coleslaw – Homemade Real Food Recipe
Coleslaw is a mainstay of American cuisine. Many times people ask me what constitutes American food. Is it just burgers and fries, the stuff you get at McDonald’s? Considering the vast United States with their own diversity as regards regions and people, it is hard to answer that question. We have the down home Southern…
Lasooni Paneer Tikka/ Malai Paneer Tikka with Saffron Rice
I have blogged about paneer tikka or tofu tikka earlier on the blog. For those that came in late, Paneer is Indian Farmer’s cheese made from fresh whey. It is not aged or salted and also does not have any rennet etc. added to it. It is popularly known as cottage cheese in India, but…
Sooji Halwa/ Badami Shira/ Fig and Almond Semolina Pudding
Shira is a traditional Maharashtrian or Marathi delicacy. And it is also totally Indian. Almost every state has their version of shira or sooji halwa. And there are slight variations in the way it is made. But ultimately, it is a simple yet indulgent Indian dessert that is ready in less than 30 minutes using…
Homemade Salsa Recipe – Mexican Restaurant Style
Salsa! Aaah..as I close my eyes, I can remember the mariachi music in the background, the smell of fresh fried tortilla chips and big earthern bowls of fresh, hot, spicy, zesty salsa!
