Do you know what Balti cuisine is? I did not, till recently. It is believed to have originated around Baltistan, north of Pakistan and Kashmir, and migrated to Birmingham, where it enjoys a sort of cult status. I found a bunch of Balti style recipes in a new cookbook I got. Having never heard of…

Yogurt, Berry And Granola Parfait
Last week, I introduced you to these new granola bars that can be baked at home with minimum fuss. While I loved the granola as such, I also wanted to use it in other creative, yet easy and healthy ways. And what better than parfait? Parfait was traditionally used to refer to a layered frozen…
Masala Vada And Elaichi Chai {Spicy Lentil Fritters And Cardamom Tea}
Tea time is an important part of Indian culture. At the end of a long day, we love to sit back and relax with a hot cup of tea and freshly-made snacks, with deep-fried delicacies holding a special spot in our hearts. Tea (or coffee) time is like a sacred ritual and followed religiously by…

Great Indian Breakfast – Rava Idli And Tiffin Sambar

I made these little cauliflower snackers for Super Bowl Sunday. It wasn’t something I planned in advance. The hubs and kiddo decided on chicken wings, but they polished it off before the game had even started. It was a glorious day, we were going to spend a few hours lazing in front of the television…

Chicken Meatballs In Thai Peanut Red Curry
Our meat grocer has some great skinny, fresh sausage options. These are ready-to-cook chicken sausages with many interesting add-ins like fresh spinach, roasted peppers and spicy jalapeno, to name a few. I usually hate working with ground meat. Something about the texture puts me off. I would never make meatballs if I had to do…
Fresh Orange Muffins
Oranges, they are such a joy to behold. It’s like sunshine packaged in a fruit. I love oranges in any form, though I am a bit partial to the easy-peel, sweet varieties. I love how Boy gets orange breath after eating sweet clementines for a snack. Or how they make my fingers smell when I…
