We had an Indo-Chinese party last weekend. Everyone had to cook one Indo-Chinese dish to bring to the party. Without much hesitation, I chose my favourite chilli chicken. Crispy fried chicken pieces coated with Chinese spices. This chilli chicken is stupendously easy to make. I started by coating the chicken pieces in the marinade, then fried
Beetroot Pachadi | Beetroot in Coconut Yogurt Sauce
Do you know the difference between pachadi and kichadi? Well, I didn’t until a few years ago. To be honest, I always loved to cook and eat both the dishes.

Tandoori Chicken Salad
When weekdays turn hectic, I always rely on easy recipes. There’s one such recipe I make again and again, nearly every week. Tandoori Chicken. Now who doesn’t love a good roast chicken?

In my mind, Easter and a hearty feast are so interrelated. Maybe that’s because I grew up in a tradition where the Lent season ended with a massive lunch on Easter Sunday. While different varieties of spicy curries adorned the table, I loved the aroma that fills the entire house. The
Okra Masala | Vendakka Masala
Summer. The perfect season to grow your own vegetables. Sowing seeds, waiting for the tiny sprouts, watching them grow into big plants, harvesting. There’s something really special about all those little wonders of nature. We’d so much fun sowing some okra seeds last spring. Fast forward three months, and voila, we’re blessed with okras…

Spinach Yogurt Curry | Palak Moru Curry
Spinach. Yogurt. Do you hear the word “healthy”? Yes, yes, it’s everywhere. (Oh no, I’m not going to introduce you to another fad diet).
