This is the kind of food I throw together when I do not have much going on in the fridge. This happens more often than I would like as I am a sucker when it comes to making grocery lists. I overestimate my ability to memorize things and then end up forgetting majority of them….

Pav Bhaji
To say that Pav-bhaji (Spicy vegetable mash with buns) is one of the most popular street foods in Mumbai is an understatement. It is a dish that has played an important role in every college going student who has lived in Maharashtra. Countless number of morning lectures were missed thanks to the small fast food…
Strawberry + Spinach Salad
It is not always that I end up making a salad for lunch. But I had stuffed myself with so many sweet treats over the week it was definitely due. Not all my food (read dessert) pictures make it to Instagram 😉 This is a easy spring/summer salad, with a lot of options as to…
Spaghetti and Chicken Meatballs
There are too many reasons to tell you why I love this Italian classic dish! The red sauce is thick and rich, with a flavor that can only come with a long simmer of forty minutes. To be honest, I am shocked that I haven’t cooked pasta in tomato sauce before. I mean, what was I…

Veggie Pizza Muffins
Cooking and baking are one of my few passions but because of that I always end up making more food than necessary which leads to lot of leftovers. My favorite way to use up left overs is to add cheese to (almost) everything! Whenever I think of cheese & leftover veggies , I think of pizza…
