Veg Uttapam

I usually do not let out any opportunity to sneek in veggies in my toddlers meals. Here is another example.

Designer Kitchens and Baking Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Image
Around 10 years ago, my dad and I bought a Samsung Convention Microwave oven for casual baking and roasting. I personally did try making a few pizzas and roasting chicken, but never a cake or cookie. The enthusiasm slowly died down. Than, my mum used it only for warming food (of course that too made her life easy, but that's it). I am talking about finding baking ingredients in Mumbai (India) 10 years ago. In fact, buying a whole cake was much cheaper than the resources to bake one, including electricity. However, that's not the case anymore. With a spurt of multinationals and supermarkets, its easy to find baking powder even at the local grocery store. We surely can afford melting cheese at 500 deg F too. The last time I heard, my mum had a guest who baked some delicious brownies in the same oven. Voila!!! I am appalled with the passion at which people are building designer kitchens especially those that hardly cook or bake anything in the...

Summer 2011 begins - Watermelon Salad

Image
 I seriously do not understand the underestimation of fruits. Why are they so proudly eaten only for desserts. Why not for appetizers or in a side dish? When a tomato claims its place in all soups and gravies, what about other fruits. I am putting myself on a mission to make it possible for everyone to use fruits as a part of our everyday lives, as in the main dinner plate. Watermelon being watery, is a fruit, I believe all Chefs (do Chefs really cook? maybe I rephrase it to all 'Cooks'!) are scarred of because of its watery properties and almost negligible flavour. However, the truth is that when watermelon is paired with spices and herbs, it enhances the natural tastes of the melon. So, having said that I was on the look for a watermelon salad pairing, when I came across this amazing salad. The outside temperatures already soaring to the mid 80's, nobody really craves for hot curries and Nan for meals. Crunchy and soothing salads are the ...

The Begining

It all begins today April 06th 2011, after putting down my little toddler for a late afternoon nap, that I have posted my first ad on an online website. Its all about offering food and satisfying the individual palate. I believe its high time I get into the market and put myself down for a foody test. Currently I am doing it from my very own homely kitchen and offering everyday individual and family meals to all those tired of eating out of their own cook houses. I call out to those lazy, busy and tired moms to order meals from my food gallery. I invite all those bachelors who are bored of eating Maggis, pastas and ready to eat meals out of steamed boxes. By the way, eating fancy restaurant food will only reduce your lifespan and you dnt know how long those gravies have been sitting in the freezer, I know it! Call me atleast 24 hrs in advance for a meal, no matter lunch or dinner and I will be happy to get the homely food boxes ready for ...
