Sichuan food is probably our favourite amongst the regional Chinese cuisines, given our fondness for spicy food. And the combination of the flavours like garlic, chilli and the Sichuan peppercorn also make it extremely addictive! With Fuchsia Dunlop’s book, the Food of Sichuan, having finally arrived, I was keen to try some of the recipes. […]
Over the past few months, as the amount of cooking being done at home has gone up, we have also found ourselves looking for new recipes, in an effort to make the weekly menu plan more interesting. Particularly recipes for great side dishes as options to rice or chapati. In one of these recipe searches, […]
If chocolate is my favourite flavour when it comes to dessert, the combination of chocolate and coffee is a close second. Fond memories of this flavour combination include a beautiful Chocolate Coffee cake at the old German bakery near the Osho Ashram in Pune. It was layers of chocolate cake with coffee cream in between, […]
My first memory of having khowsuey is at a restaurant called Pot Pourri in Bandra, in Bombay. The description of the dish had intrigued me and many of the flavours were similar to Indian cuisine. Yet, I had never tasted anything like it before! It was delicious! We know khowsuey as a Burmese noodle soup, […]
Three ingredients that are always popular at home and this particular combination is truly enjoyable. We serve it on our menu as our version of Eggs Kejriwal 🙂 The steamed eggs are inspired by the Chinese steamed eggs, which are usually lightly seasoned with salt & pepper and served with soy sauce, garlic and spring […]
Mango Shrikhand tarts are not new on this blog…in fact this little dessert was one of the first things I wrote about when we started the blog! When I was young, my grandmother would make shrikhand at home, as back then it wasn’t available in stores as it is now. She usually made the basic […]
My exposure to Sindhi food started quite early, as I had many Sindhi classmates in school. Weekend lunch invitations to their homes gave me an opportunity to have what have now become two of my favourite Sindhi dishes, Dal Pakwan and Sindhi Kadhi. One of my classmates’ parents even invited our family over for a […]
And here’s another lovely dish to cook that delivers amazing flavours and yet is surprisingly light to eat. Instead of using pizza dough, this genius recipe use thick slices of a large eggplant for the pizza base, topped with a flavourful tomato sauce, cheese and spinach. This is not my recipe, but unfortunately I cannot […]
This is one of those many recipes in my folder that I had discovered years ago (unfortunately cannot remember the source) and have served me well when I have to think of cooking something simple. We try to keep dinners carb free, so something like this pancake or the spinach & corn bake or eggplant […]
I know I probably lost most of you at bitter gourd, and yes there is some bitterness when you eat these, but trust me this dish actually tastes really good. Since cooking and eating at home is the new normal, and will probably stay like that for a while, on every trip to the wet […]
