Few years ago, one day my brother and I were roaming around Gandhi bazaar, Basavangudi in Bangalore in the evening. My brother is a great foodie, he knows almost all the good restaurants in Bangalore. He tried to take me to these restaurants every time we went out. So, all of a sudden, he said, …
For me, chutney was always synonym with coconut chutney. I started eating different types of chutneys after going to Bangalore. I liked to eat these chutneys with dosas or idlis. So I keep searching for these tasty chutney recipes. This recipe is from a TV show. I am not a big fan of raw onion …
Aayi serves this bhaji with chapathi during Saturdays when we don’t eat nonveg, garlic and onions. I had written more about these fasting days in my potato bhaji with poha masala post. Usually this and chapathi are served for breakfast. Aayi has many such no-onion, no-garlic side dishes that go well in such days. This …
This is a dish I have grown up eating. Aayi makes this with rice rotti(alayle pita rotti) for breakfast. The cooked masoor and the garam masala gives a very different aroma to this dish. This tastes good when it is made very spicy and goes very well with the bland taste of rotti. Ingredients: 3/4 …
Chole – Bhature is one of the most popular dishes from Punjab. Every one has their own recipe for Chole. Even I have tried making it many times. All my friends loved my recipe. But somehow, I was not cooking Chole at home anymore. When I got a request for this recipe, I prepared it …

I always loved the chutney that my friend Poornima prepares with masala dosa. But out of sheer laziness, I always skipped it whenever I prepared her version of masala dosa. I took …
Usually ‘ennegayi’ are stuffed brinjal(eggplant). But since the tiny brinjals are not available at our native, aayi usually prepares this dish with normal brinjal cut into big pieces. Though I used small brinjals, I cut them into pieces to get the similar look and feel of the dish, also save time. This dish has the …
Usually in North India and in Marathi households, chapathi/phulka is prepared along with lunch or dinner. But Konkani lunch does not include them. We make chapathis for breakfast with various types of potato bhajis. During normal days, mom serves chapathi and egg curry/omlet/bullseye. But during fasting, like in festivals or ‘‘panchami ‘- fifth tithi or …
I dont know how I forgot to blog about this delicious recipe. One of my cousin recently reminded me of this. At our home, we call this Aayi’s bhaji (just to distinguish from Amma’s bhaji!!!). This is prepared with either puri or dosa. In Konkani Paattal means ‘a substance which has more liquid’ (Please somebody …
