Just a Note

Friday, March 31st, 2006

Thanks to every one who has been visiting my blog and leaving comments. I have had a couple of people request me for pictures too. I really would love to; and am working on it.
I have been a bit busy at work these days and hence no posts on my part. Hopefully next week I […]

Bread Pizza

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

This is a dish I used to make even as a kid in India. When I was growing up pizza was not as easily available in India as it is now. To satisfy my pizza cravings I would pile up some toppings on a slice of bread; sprinkle with cheese and bake in the oven […]

Quick and Easy Strawberry Jam

Monday, March 20th, 2006

My son loves bread and jam (or jelly as he calls it) for breakfast or a snack. Strawberries are in season right now and there is nothing like fresh homemade jam. I really don’t like the store bought variety as I find them too sweet for my taste. Those who like their jam a little […]

Quick Chicken Stir Fry

Monday, March 20th, 2006

I came across the marinade in another recipe and decided to personalize it a little. The garlic is my addition and increased the cumin used. I did not use the spicy Indian chili powder I usually use. Instead used the one which came in my spice rack. It was delicious and even my two year […]

Coconut flavored Veggie Pulao

Monday, March 13th, 2006

This is a recipe which a lot of people have inquired about. I only make this when having people over for a meal or special occasions. A couple of things are the flavor and the color, which everyone inquires about. The flavor secret here is coconut milk and the color secret is the onions fried […]

Scrambled Fish Curry (Chepala Porutu)

Saturday, March 11th, 2006

Last night I was in a hurry to put something quick on the table for dinner. And all I really had was catfish and eggplant in the fridge. I decided fish would be quicker to cook. I had to defrost it of-course, but it still would be faster. I defrosted it in the microwave and […]

Cauliflower Masala

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

This is an easy spicy cauliflower dish with potatoes and tomatoes. Though I’d rather not have potatoes, but I decided to include them for Shilpi. He loved the dish. So I will be adding it to my emergency recipe list( for when I am out of ideas or my brain decides to take a break).
Ingredients
Cauliflower […]

Veggie Stew with Dumplings

Ingredients
Frozen TVP crumbles – 12 Oz
Chicken broth – 1 can
Oregano – ½ tsp.
Basil – […]
