Creamy Spinach Soup

There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of piping hot soup to get through the cold days. The best part about this soup is, it does not require any fancy ingredients and you can double or triple the quantity by adding milk or water, as per your choice and preference. Even though this recipe has…

Rice and Chicken

Do you have your shopping list ready for the Holiday Season? I am still drawing inspiration online and from the local mall. I want something that is simple, thoughtful and creative. Last year I got creative and did a picture collage of the best moments captured during the year, so can’t do that this year!…

Veggie Rice Bowl

Recently, I have started to explore the idea of cooking one bowl healthy meals. I know its a big surprise coming from someone whose last recipes have been deep fried! However, I can gulp them down only if they are flavorful and taste good. I wouldn’t put a recipe on my blog just because it looks good and…

Sweet Banana Dumplings

Do you always need something to munch on while watching movies? I prefer cozying up on the couch in our living room as opposed to watching movies in theater. It gives the flexibility of munching the above pictured  banana dumplings instead of over buttered popcorn and stale nachos. I have realized that eating crunchy  food in…

I was amazed by the amount of broccoli I could fit in! I used an entire…

Baked Salmon with Pesto and Roasted Vegetables

Baked Salmon with pesto and roasted vegetables is a healthy dish made with simple ingredients and is a perfect weekday night meal. But before we dive into the recipe and method I would like to say that this is my first time cooking this fish and there were a series of questions that went through my mind…

Coconut Pancakes

To say that I am obsessed with making Pancakes is an understatement because you can find more pancake recipes on my blog here, here and here! Having said that, I added one more feather in my (pancake) cap and this time it involves coconut. In my quest to develop a perfect recipe for fluffier coconut pancakes I…

Stuffed Brinjal (Baby eggplants) Gravy

Its been a while since a vegetarian dish made an appearance on the blog. Cooking brinjals ( eggplants) doesn’t exactly scream weekend food but when stuffed with a splendid masala of roasted coconut, peanuts , onions and garam masala, I  couldn’t pass it up!   Actually, you can use this masala for any vegetables you do not…
