1 porotta kurma please! That’s my standard tiffin order in the south, and with good reason! Porotta kurma is one of those classic dishes that just w.o.r.k.s. South Indian porottas are really famous; they’re soft, they’re flaky and they have more layers than a Wachowski siblings movie. Porotta beef fry is a Kerala classic but […]

Green curry is a Thai classic and one of my favourite dishes of all time. It’s sweet and hearty with fresh citrus-y notes from limes, kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass. My Malayali roots also make me extremely partial to any curry with coconut milk! When I say green curry is my favourite, I mean it’s […]

Beetroot burgers have long been a favourite of mine ever since I visited this small cafe in Prague that did the absolute meatiest, meatless vegan burger made of – you guessed it, beetroots. I’ve been making several versions of this burger over the years. It usually depended on whatever ingredients I had on hand, but […]
Pizzas and pastas are as much a staple in our diets as anything Indian at this point. I grew up with birthday candles on pizzas instead of cake so it’s definitely a favourite of mine! However, if there’s one thing that can make or break a pizza or a pasta, it’s the sauce. Sure you […]
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 […]
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! My seasons in Kerala go a little something like this- pleasant, hot, really hot, burn-my-skin hot, wet, really wet, annual flood season […]
Peanut butter is a fantastic ingredient, lending itself to both sweet and savoury dishes. I’m a huge fan of peanut butter not only because of how it tastes but also because of it’s nutritional profile. Just 2 tbsps of peanut butter has 8g of protein and 10% of your daily fiber needs. 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 […]
