About




Hello and Welcome!

I am an expat living far far away from home. This new country has given me an opportunity to learn about different cultures and try out new things. One of them is blogging about food. I have always liked cooking. Now, I have fellow food enthusiasts share their interesting thoughts. Food photography is worth exploring too.

My Mom whom I call "Aai" (in Konkani), taught me all about cooking. My Aai's style was using fewer ingredients, which has influenced my cooking as well. I lived with my in-laws for about a year in the coastal city of Mangaluru. My Mother-in-law taught me a lot about Mangalore Saraswat Cuisine. I particularly like her Idli, Dosa recipes, such a variety using different fruits and vegetables.

Indian cuisine is predominantly vegetarian. Plenty of recipes are gluten free and ideal for vegans. In Southern India, rice and coconut are staples. North Indian recipes use corn, paneer and wheat as main ingredients. Feel free to explore!

Over the years, I have found my way of cooking. Some days, I cook out of necessity. Other days, I cook for pleasure. Hope my blog makes your everyday cooking easier, healthier and tastier. For suggestions or questions, use the comment box.

Happy Cooking!

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Surti Val Papdi Bhaji

My Mom used to make Val Papdi Bhaji in a simple way with few ingredients. This is the first time I gave it a try here in my US kitchen. This stir fry does require little more oil, as no water is added for cooking. Dal Rice tastes great with this sauteed Papdi.  I tried this Bhaji once with frozen Surti Papdi and I was not happy with the result. I prefer fresh Papdi for this recipe, which I can only find in the local Indian store. I am not sure if Val Papdi is called as Navy Bean or Fava Bean in English.
