Cucumber chutney (Taushe huLel)

Cucumber chutney (Taushe huLel)

    Cucumber is called  “Taushe” in Konkani.  “Taushe hulel” is a side dish which is usually a part of meal that is offered to god during festivals. I saw a similar dish here, the only difference being, we use the cucumbers (used for salads) and everything is used raw. So this dish can be …

Spinach-Buttermilk Gravy (Palak Kadhi)

Spinach-Buttermilk Gravy (Palak Kadhi)

Cooking for weekdays is becoming a juggling act for me. I try to keep things simple, but I still want my family to eat something fresh. My two year old is in his “terrible-twos” phase. So vegetables usually go untouched. I am finding new ways to include it back in their diet. Last week I …

Pepper Masala Chicken

Pepper Masala Chicken

I have this crazy desire to make different kinds of chicken dishes every time. I change one or the other ingredient every time to see if I can come up with a new dish. Most of the times they all taste almost same even though I switch around something. V loves spicy chicken, so few weeks …

Carrot Pulav

Carrot Pulav

Ishaan started going to Kindergarten few weeks ago. I was a bit stressed about him going to new school right after coming back from India. On the first day of school, I went to have lunch with him, totally prepared to bring him back home if he was too tired. He assured me he was …

Beetroot Salad (Beetroot Kosambari / Kosambir)

Beetroot Salad (Beetroot Kosambari / Kosambir)

Some of these kind of recipes are not “Aayis recipes” in strict sense. These kind of dishes are quick to prepare and very helpful for office goers when they return and obliged to cook. They are ready almost in no time. It is non-traditional in the sense, perhaps invented as per need but quite healthy …

Zunka (Pitla-Patal version of Zunka)

Zunka (Pitla-Patal version of Zunka)

Zunka is a popular Maharashtrian dish and it is also very popular in Karnataka-Maharashtra border area. Though I got exposed to several dishes when I was studying at Belgaum, this Zunka is something I could never appreciate till I got married !! The dryer version of Zunka has a texture and husky smell of Chickpeas …

Eggplant Rice (Vangi Bhath) with Garam Masala

Eggplant Rice (Vangi Bhath) with Garam Masala

Few years back, I saw this recipe in some book. What attracted me to this was, it uses garam masala which is usually available in every Indian home, unlike the special vangi bhath masala which is used in many other recipes. Over the years, I have changed it to suit our taste buds. Last time …
