What is the first thought that comes to your mind when you think of Indian food?

Indian curries became known to the world for their aromas, flavors & rich taste. Different kinds of curries are made across the various states of India.

Fudgy Brownie Recipe I did create a few Brownie recipes in the past but they never worked out the way I wanted them to. This Fudgy Brownie Recipe is definitely a keeper. It is somewhere in between a cake and a brownie with a crackly top. Just the way I love them. Like most bakes the key is to not over mix the batter, unless specifically requested in a recipe. Can a brownie have too much chocolate, I don’t think so....

What is Green Moong Dal? Wondering what is the Green Moong Dal? You’ve probably relished the yellow lentil dal (Dal Tadka) or the black lentil dal (Dal Makhani) at the restaurants, but never come across this before? The Green Moong Dal is one of the many Dal variations in the Indian cuisine, however it’s not something that you can typically find at an Indian restaurant. It’s something we enjoy when we want to enjoy a simple dal preparation which is different from the restaurant style yellow dal....

As a child, I was never really fond of Eggplant. I guess it’s only in the last 10 years that I have realized that Eggplant is a very versatile vegetable. Off all the recipes I have tried, I think I really like the technique of charring the eggplant which brings out an exotic smoky flavor. Over the years I became fond of Baingan Ka Bharta (oops, I should share that recipe soon), an Indian preparation where the Eggplant is charred and then a smash is made from cooking it with onions, tomatoes, garlic and other herbs....

I am also happy to have a little space, just have to wait for my hubby to go back to the office now, then the house will be all mine…haha!...

Mattar Paneer is a classic recipe of curried peas and Indian cottage cheese cooked in a thick, rich and creamy tomato sauce. I love Mattar Paneer as it’s absolutely delicious however the downside is that it’s loaded with calories from fat. Fat from Paneer and also the fresh cream that is added to the sauce. So it’s ok to relish Matter Paneer occasionally but if you see yourself making it a little too often, then here is my healthier twist to it....

Others have learnt to actually cook for the first time, using my recipes....

As you know I share a lot that I learnt from my mum-in-law and I mention her in my posts. I hear a lot of woman complaining about relationships with their in-laws, I must say that I am blessed as I share a very amicable relationship with mine. It’s all about mutual respect, I guess any relationship is a two-way street, it takes work from both parties. Life is too short to have enemies so I try to work on relationships with my family but sometimes you know when the other side just doesn’t need you or want you in their lives so you step away....
