I just got back from a long awaited trip back home to India. Meeting relatives, friends, doing some shopping in my home town and most important of all, eating home cooked food and spending time with family! It was one fun trip. I have to say that I did not step inside the kitchen except…
Brinjal pepper kuzhambu
Its been a while since my last post. I have been crazy busy with my studies and work here. My to go food has been a quick dal or one pot mixed rice, something that takes less than 30 minutes to cook. After a lot of easy instant cooking and eating outs, I finally decided…
Onion tomato chutney
A simple and delicious south Indian chutney that is usually served with idlis and dosas. The spiciness from dried red chillies, tanginess from the tomatoes and tamarind and a slight sweetness from the onions makes this a perfect accompaniment with any tiffin item.
