I made kothimbir vadi first during 2011 and now reading that post shows me how much I have evolved as a food blogger. During those days, my photos were not so good and I don’t even write that much. Just two or three sentences and my post was done. To take a look at how […]
For the third day of Besan recipes, here is an easy to make delicious snack for kids. As a kid I used to love bread. Amma used to make amazing sandwiches and cutlets and I even loved the simple butter bread combo a lot. And then when I learnt baking breads, I started making so […]
While I was compiling the list of recipes to try for the Besan theme, Rajasthani gatte was my top choice. I have made gatte ki pulao a long time back, I guess it was my early stages of blogging, but wasn’t very much impressed with the result. So I didn’t try it again. But all […]
For the third week, my theme is Besan recipes. Besan or chickpea flour is nothing but ground channa dal and is such a versatile ingredient. You can make traditional sweets, savouries, deep fried bajjis or pakoras and even chillas. You can almost use it in any course and end up with very tasty dishes. Amma […]

Omelette is made with eggs. Without eggs there is no omelette. But still we who don’t eat eggs, find a way to recreate the fluffy dish without the use of eggs. I would never claim that I am the first to do this. My mum used to make this besan omelette whenever she made a […]
Today’s recipe makes me nostalgic. When I was a kid, we lived in Theni, a small town 75 kilometers away from Madurai. Whenever we go to watch a movie, that too a particular cinema hall (it has been demolished now) I pester my mom to buy the onion bajji from a cart. I still remember […]
If you are reading my blog regularly, you might know that I am doing a month long blogging marathon along with my friends with one theme a week. For this week, the theme is Indian states and I am doing savoury snacks for six states this week. After doing pakoras and vadas, here comes a […]
For week two of Mega Marathon, the theme is Indian states. While most of my blogger friends have opted to do thalis for six Indian states, I went for easy dishes. At first I wanted to opt out of this mega marathon and I even sent a mail to Valli.I have told you so many […]
