The banana walnut bread is one thing I absolutely love to bake, because not only does it taste moist and divine, it also leaves the house smelling sweet like a bakery. I have baked quite a few banana walnut breads, but the recipes I like the most is this one by Medha.

Paneer bhurji
I tasted my first paneer bhurji at the then swanky Hiranandani food court, when I was studying in Bombay. Eventually it found its way into my kitchen because the husband loves it equally if not more. If you’re a beginner in the kitchen, this is one recipe that is so easy you can never go [...]
Hai koi maa ka laal
.. ya laali, who can stand up and say that life has always been fair to him? That everybody and everything he’s undergone has always been just what he deserved or more.

I have a very generous lady for a neighbour, who keeps plying us with goodies like laddus and polis and dahi wadas, every once in a while.
Our way to return the favour is by gobbling everything up real quick and by repeatedly telling her how fabulous the food was and of course return the bowls. [...]
The packetless diet – Update 1
What’s a good girl to do when she is swamped with work, is hours away from a deadline and severely sleep deprived? Make a random post like this one.

Last Sunday was Easter (hope you had a great long weekend), and for the husband that translates to eating appams dipped in stew. Since I am a vegetarian, I prepared appam with [...]
Google Lok Sabha Elections site

Since I consider it better to stop living than live on them watery soups and chomp on raw salads, or whatever these so called “diets” call food, I’ve decided to come up with a simple diet plan of my own. It’s called “The Packetless Diet”. The essence of this plan is to stop eating anything [...]
Dear stainless steel dubba makers

that little sticker you stick with gorilla glue, is supposed to be peeled out by us humans, not get permanently bound to the said dubba. So please to be taking mercy on us steel storage dubba consumers.
Edited to add: A cousing had given me an expert tip to handle those buggers and it has worked! [...]
Sambar rice
I am a sucker for Tamil style cooking. My first experience was a lovely home- made Tamil style meal prepared by Paati at a family friend’s house. At meal time, there were seemingly complicated and confusing etiquettes about curd being in the outer circle and a few other that I can’t remember right now. Well, [...]
