Three Bean Chilli for a fiery Lunchbox Fiesta

Italian and Mexican cuisine are close contenders as far as my favourite food is concerned, just after Indian food. While I think I have some ‘Past life connection’ with Italy and the comforting Italian cuisine, the vibrant Mexican food (or Tex-Mex) manages to cheer me up even on dreary days. Mexican inspired Tacos, Burritos, Fajitas, Salsas are part of our meals on a regular basis and they also find their way in our lunch boxes. This colorful bowl of Three bean Chilli, packed with goodness and bursting with fiery flavors, is sure to banish even the Monday blues. A quick,…

Desi Health Bites- Multigrain Daliya Hot Pot

I am back with another recipe showcasing my love for multi-grains again for the #Fortunehealthbites – Multigrain Daliya Hot Pot . It’s a Hot Pot alright – but a quick, no meat and no bake kind of Hot Pot- unlike the ‘Lancashire Hot Pot’ which inspired me for the basic idea and presentation for this recipe. Daliya or the broken grains/Lapsi of wheat is the most commonly used in Indian cuisine for making savoury as well as sweet preparations. Jowar and Bajra groats are traditionally used to make ‘Khichada’, a spicy version of the Khichdi. With the appearance of organic…

Hadga/Agasti Flower Bhajias

A very Happy New Year to all of you. I am back after a looooooong silence on MyFoodcourt. As you can guess the resolution for 2015 is to blog as much I can! I have been thinking of posting recipes for a long time. The ‘comeback recipe’ for the blog has spanned from Christmas cake to Yule log to Pavlova to a humble porridge-but only in my mind! A trip to the older part of the city a couple of days back lead me to a treasured discovery- the edible Hadga flowers. I had a faint memory of my childhood…

Pepper away the Monsoon blues with this quick and simple Black pepper Rasam/soup

The medicinal uses of Black pepper are well known. It is one of the trusted home remedies for cold and cough. We have been surviving the Monsoon bug by adding this ‘natural antibiotic’ to our day-to -day meals. We are having this hot spicy Pepper Rasam/ soup almost every day to soothe our itchy throats; a soothing balm to ‘shoo’ away the Monsoon blues. This is of course my Mother-in-law’s recipe and uses very few day-to-day ingredients; Black pepper-cumene seeds –some dried coconut and curry leaves. You can make a ready spice mix and store in an airtight container. Whenever…

About Me

About

    My experiments with cooking go way back, when I stayed in a hostel for my higher studies. The ‘Mess’ (literally) food was good just to satisfy the stomach, not the palate. I really missed my mom’s food then. I still do. A self confessed foodie, I love trying out new recipes. ...
