An Indian Mom's diary of recipes and food memories
It isn’t fall yet…and here’s this chilly crisp note in the air already. We did have a well-behaved winter last time and the summer this year had been just too friendly. There were some rains shattering our weekend vacations goals intermittently, and yet, by far we were able to soak […]
It was my first baseball game…some good few years back. Big-J’s school was selling family tickets for the evening and we bought for us. Somerset Patriots versus Sugar Land Skeeters it was. I had never taken an interest in this game and didn’t know a thing about it. All my […]
Every evening, since the last couple days, on her way back home from school, big-J would tell me “Mumma, please don’t open my bag pack or look into my folder. There’s something in there that’s a surprise and I don’t want you to see. Actually you are not supposed to […]
What do you do with a 4 pounds box of plums? Plums that hadn’t caught your family’s fantasy in a fruit bowl on the dining table? I got one box full from Costco last week and was struck with the 21 deep red lustrous stone fruits in it. One was […]
Hope you all had a happy colorful Holi? Here’s the Gujiya post I did last week if you haven’t checked that already. We aren’t done with the colors yet though…Its mid-March and almost Spring. Did I just say spring? After a well behaved winter and frequent warm sunny days earlier this […]
During my growing up years in the Northern plains of India, Holi celebrations held a very dear place in heart. The festival of colors, was a grandeur event there. The day the whole township would come together. Everyone played colors, and visited each other to wish. How I miss all […]
I have very fond childhood memories of Shakarpara. Ma’s kitchen would suddenly become this mill, producing big batches of fresh, hot, fried Shakarparas in no time before Holi, Deepawali, Vijaydashami or the holidays. She got this recipe from one of her south Indian friends in the neighborhood. Ma said it […]
Mr. Hubbyman came home the night before…he was back from a week long business trip in Atlanta, Georgia. His two little miss loves had been missing him so bad that they almost sprang on him, on his way up the stairs to our door. Well, and his missus followed the […]
In the past, I’ve made a few healthy no-sugar dessert recipes. I made some yummy baked apples that makes a great snack for kids and grown ups alike. Later, I also shared recipe for a no-guilt & absolutely delicious Khajur ki Kheer. There’s a thing about these no-sugar-added sweet treats…you feel so […]
Trust me, as I write this ‘cakey’ post, not a lick of crumb is left in my cake keeper. The last crumbs are partying in our tummies here. Please don’t judge me if I say I ate away the most. This one’s my favorite breakfast bundt cake, and I had […]
