Uma's Culinary World

After eating take out for about a week, I am ready to cook and blog again. How about some simple Roti Sabzi? You guys know how I like to include greens in our everyday diet. Today's special is fresh Methi leaves. Of all leafy greens, I love Methi. If you do too, try this North Indian style Aloo Methi Masala.

Hey everyone! Hope all is well. 
Just when I got used to the Miami weather, we had to move. So, now we are back in Dallas. I am hoping to stay in this new place for a long long time. In all this hustle bustle of settling in a new habitat, my 3 year old demands to bake a cake all by herself. Also, it has to be round like a birthday cake.
Here I present the first ever bake from our new kitchen. A soft, moist cardamom flavored egg less apple sauce cake. 

Its been around 6 months now in Miami. I am really enjoying the sunny weather here. My kiddo especially loves her park time. I am missing the beautiful fall colors of Michigan though. Anyways, lets talk about food now.
These days I have been trying to include more leafy greens in our diet.
Jowar Methi Thepla, Palak Paneer Paratha, Kale White Bean Soup and today's Spinach Pasta are our family favorites. If you are looking for some healthy delicious recipes, try these and let me know.

These days we all are conscious of our calorie intake. Low fat, low calorie is the trend. White bread has been replaced by Oats bread, Whole Wheat bread. Olive oil has taken over butter or ghee.
When it comes to diet and exercise, different strategies work for different people. Some work out more, some can control their cravings, some prefer low fat dairy, some cut down desserts and so on.

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well. My apologies for disappearing for 6 months, but now I am back after some R & R.... with lots of good food and stories.
One of the most loved posts on my blog is Eggless Sour Cream Vanilla Cake. Today's Tutti Fruity cake is adapted from that. I have tried to make it healthier using Whole Wheat Flour (Indian Atta). My kiddo loves it and hope you guys like it too.

Life has taken me to different places. I don't do well with change initially, but then the town grows on me. Few years ago, we came to the snowy, cold Midwest. Call me crazy, but I like snow. I especially love to see every year's first snowfall.
