Ridge Gourd Peel Chutney Recipe
As a child, I hated the ridge gourd vegetable and so my Aai (mom) used to make this chutney from the peels of the ridge gourd and make me eat the vegetable along with the chutney. We tend to throw away the peels of many vegetables when they have the most nutritional value. So every [...]

9. February 2011
This is one of the most simple recipes of curry I have made. My mom-in-law taught me this recipe. She told me, she used to make it often when in a hurry to go to University (where she taught). As a working woman, I too find it tough to prepare elaborate curries in the morning. [...]

13. December 2010
I saw a recipe called ‘Moong Dal ki Goli’ on a television show. It sounded interesting as we often prepare daal from moong dal, I occasionally prepare ‘Dhirda/Dosa’ from moong dal, but ‘goli’ was more like koftas. Though I couldn’t note down the recipe, I did not remember the exact ingredients, but one night I [...]

20. August 2010
‘Yam Chips’ – is it something you haven’t heard before. My mother prepares this and I relish it. I never liked a gravy or curry preparation of yam, so my mother made this so that I eat yam. And since then I love this recipe and prepare it regularly. You can also call it Yam/Suran [...]

Continue reading...Methi Paneer (Indian-style Fenugreek with Cottage Cheese)
7. April 2010
“Methi’ or ‘Fenugreek’ is full of iron, vitamins and minerals, but its bitterness makes it ‘hated’ vegetable amongst children and adults too. So I try out recipes wherein they won’t come to know, methi is used. Paneer or cottage cheese is liked by almost everyone. So I thought of combining the most favorite vegetable with the least [...]

I had eaten Undhiyoo once, when I was very young. Oh I must tell you, it was so delicious. I was told this is a Gujarati recipe prepared as a feast. But later I never really got a chance to taste real authentic undhiyu (though the parties I attended served one, never tasted that good). [...]
