Masoor Burgers

Masoor Burgers

We are not huge fans of burgers. We avoid them when we can. But there are some days when we like a good burger. I personally like chicken burgers and rarely get vegetarian burgers. I have many friends who are absolute fans of black bean burgers. I decided to try my hands at making them …

Spicy Pizza Pockets (Spicy Calzones)

Spicy Pizza Pockets (Spicy Calzones)

We are pizza fans,  instead of going out and eating pizzas, I have started making them at home frequently. I make the pizza dough with one pack yeast (with recipe given below), use half of it and freeze remaining half. So we have pizzas once in a week or two. Making everything at home gives …

Baked Chicken

Baked Chicken

For last few years, I have been making something simple like pasta, sandwiches, pulavs etc for lunch that I can easily pack for Ishaan. So I usually make Indian dishes for dinner. But lately once in a while the child asks “ani sheet? (rice again)?” or “chupati nakka aaji (I don’t want chapati)”. So I …

Quinoa – Pearl Couscous with Vegetables

Quinoa – Pearl Couscous with Vegetables

I was introduced to quinoa about 4 years ago. Some of my ex-colleagues talked about it all the time. Although I was intrigued, I had no interest in trying it. Then a day came when we were advised to reduce all kinds of starchy carbs. Our doctor told us to stop eating white rice and …

Wheat Flour – Flax Seed powder – Zucchini Waffles

Wheat Flour – Flax Seed powder – Zucchini Waffles

Breakfast in my house is usually a typical Indian spread – either uppittu/upma/dosas/idlis. I cook both lunch and breakfast in the mornings. V tells me to take a break once in a while when we can just eat cereals. But breakfast for me has to be something hot and savory!. Since he loves waffles, I …

Vegetable Mac and Cheese

Vegetable Mac and Cheese

Ishaan started going to daycare at a very young age. When he was around 1 year old, they made him sit on his highchair to eat. He was all excited about feeding himself at that age. I was not a very big fan of the food provided at daycare – especially lunch, most of which …

Baked Pasta With Chicken And Vegetables Casserole

Baked Pasta With Chicken And Vegetables Casserole

I am trying to include more chicken into our diet. Although I mostly make Indian dishes at home, once in a week, I experiment with new dishes. This was one such dish which came out really well. If you are a vegetarian, you can leave out chicken in this, it will still taste very good. …

Lemony Quinoa

Lemony Quinoa

I have heard so much about Quinoa in last couple of years, didn’t even know about the existence of such a thing until then. Read more about Quinoa. After observing it for a while on many food blogs and watching my friends eat, I finally decided to try it. I bought a small batch from …
