Grilled cheese sandwiches are great but there’s always room to elevate them. I absolutely love adding caramelised onions to my sandwiches for that sweet and salty combination. Since there’s only three elements to this dish it’s always a good idea to invest in good quality ingredients. Choose any type of bread you like, I would […]

Isn’t it amazing how many different ways you can eat dal and rice? Parippu means dal and podi means powder. Parippu Podi is a fantastic dried dal powder that you can mix directly into hot rice with some ghee for the quickest and I would argue, tastiest version of dal rice you’ll ever have. I […]

I’ve been a part of the apple-cinnamon fandom for many, many years! It’s all thanks to the McDonalds apple pie (its unavailability in India will forever be my biggest beef with McDs). So here I am with yet another cinnamon apple dessert! This crowd pleasing dessert has always been easy to put together but getting […]

Pumpkins are a classic fall ingredient. When you think of pumpkin soup I’ll bet you’re thinking about a warm autumn meal, despite living in a country that doesn’t really have an autumn season!

While I’ve made […]

How much can you experiment when it comes to pasta? Because I cringe at the thought of people making ‘white sauce’ with mayo in it, but here I am making a ‘faux’ white sauce with cauliflower! Here me out though, because I swear you won’t believe how amazing this recipe is. You might be wondering […]

After two long posts on the history and farming of millets, we’re finally going to talk about the nutritional properties of millets. There’s this growing obsession with eating ‘superfoods’; which you should know is just a marketing term. I have some pretty strong views on the topic, so much so that I think it needs […]

We’ve spoken a lot about millets, their history, nutrition and farming benefits. I think its finally time to talk about some recipes! The first of which is a personal favourite. As I’ve probably mentioned in many posts before, I grew up in the Middle East. There were several things I disliked about growing up there […]

We already spoke a little bit about the fall of millets in India in my previous post but definitely not enough! It all began with the advent of the Green Revolution in India. The sharp decline in food production in the years prior to the revolution, along with the active threat of famines following the […]
