Adhirasams I made it for the first time. Many of them make for adhirasams for Diwali but we don’t have the tradition of making this for Deepavali. But I wanted to try my hands on Adhirasam. I tried it at my mom’s house when I went in June. My sister’s sil helped me out but unfortunately, it was a big disaster. My mom went to a function in Trichy 2 months back and there she asked the Cook Mami about the exact proportion and also the nuances of making adhirasams....

Aloo pakora is a North Indian version of our Potato Bajji. But there are few differences between both. Recently I visited one of my friend’s house for tea on a weekend evening. She made Aloo pakora, dhaniya chutney and hot ginger chai. The combo was super tasty and loved the pakoras and chutney combo very much. The North Indian pakoras, they don’t add rice flour in the besan. The outer cover is made only with besan flour....

Annual Christmas Selfies of years gone by: 2017, 2018, 2019 Every year, I vow to be more organised next year to get a nice Christmas photo of Dozer and I to send out to you to say MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! And here we have landed again, with no such card-worthy Christmas photo, but instead, the usual impromptu Christmas selfie. This year, even better than most years, being taken in the boot of the car (don’t ask, it will take another paragraph to explain!...

Arai puli kuzhambhu is not a different dish, it is a vathal kuzhambhu with pidi karanai and black channa. Last year during our December holidays, when I was staying at my mom’s place, I learned this. My perimma made this and tasted very well. I have never cooked pidi karanai (not the elephant foot yam), but with vathalkuzhambhu it tasted super yum. We all really enjoyed it a lot. So after coming here I made this twice and clicked the pictures also....

Raw rice (Maavu arisi) 5 portions Sago ( javarisi) 1 portion Green chili 6 Lemon juice 1 tblsp Salt to taste Coconut Oil 2 tsp Asafoetida a pinch Grind the flour and javarisi in the mill . My mom brought the flour from India. But you can make with store bought rice flour only. Check my notes section. Grind the green chili along with salt into a fine paste. You can add little water while grinding....

Poha | aval | rice flakes are widely used in Indian cuisine. I have posted a lot of recipes using poha in Jeyashris kitchen. Usually, we make upma with aval, but this one is steamed dumplings. This is very similar to the arisi pidi kozhukattai. But this can be made just in 20 minutes. Aval kara pidi kozhukattai is a perfect breakfast | evening tiffin | dinner. Since it is a no onion no garlic recipe, you can serve this on a fasting day too....

Excellent way to make use of leftover bread. Make it now or leave it overnight, then just pop it in the oven the next day! Breakfast Casserole – Strata Cake! Being completely upfront – this is not a real dish as such, it’s just something I made up on a whim back when I first published it over 5 years ago as a way to make breakfast for a group without frying up individual bacon and eggs for everyone....

Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce Real “restaurant style” Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce is NOT just oyster sauce (despite what you will read in many recipes claiming it is that simple!). A sauce made with just oyster sauce will just taste of that – plain oyster sauce dolloped on greens. And if you’re happy with that, then there’s no need to read further because this recipe for real Restaurant Style Chinese Greens with Oyster Sauce has more than 1 ingredient in the sauce!...

Complete your Chinese banquet with a side of Fried Rice, Hot and Sour Soup and Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce. Time to get your dumpling game on! Chinese Dumplings aka Potstickers There was a time when I had a handful of favourite hole-in-the-wall dumpling joints complete with peeling lino floors, chipped tables and rickety chairs where we could stuff ourselves silly for less than $8 a head. Nowadays, dumplings have become “all the rage” and many such places have become fancy....

It’s the perfect cake for company. Why? Because it’s impressive… and also because if you don’t have company, you will absolutely eat this entire thing by yourself. Here’s how it’ll go: After you eat one tiny slice, you’ll think, “oh my gosh this is so rich, I couldn’t possibly eat another slice.” But then you will… trust me, I know. This cake is dangerously good. So good you won’t believe it’s grain-free, gluten-free, paleo-friendly....

Before I tell you about this dairy-free and gluten-free oatmeal cake, I have to admit something (and it’s all going to make sense soon). I am secretly a grandma. 👵🏾 Okay, not literally – because hello, my kids are 3 and under. What I mean is… I have this (really cool) grandma kind of personality/vibe and I kind of always have. Like when I was 10 years old, I took a weekly quilting class with nine of the cutest little old ladies you’ve ever met....

This recipe is 3 years overdue. Really. I gifted this exact Cookie Mix in a Jar to friends 3 years ago. And every year come Christmas, I get harassed by my darling friends for the recipe. Finally! I’m sharing it!!! I wasn’t hoarding it. Really and truly. I just kept forgetting. 🙂 I think everyone has one of “those” friends in their lives who has everything. You know who I mean, don’t you?...

Cauliflower Soup I am very aware that there is a serious lack of vegetables / salads / meat free / cheese free / carb free food on my blog. I always have good intentions of blogging more vegetable focussed things but I tend to get distracted by…well…you know. Anything but salads. So I always feel like giving myself a pat on the back when I post a meat-free-almost-dairy-free-cheese-free dish! I love this soup....

Serve it as is, or use it as a base for your own add-ins. Try tossing through some shredded leftover Roast Chicken or Poached Chicken, or adding a handful of spinach. Creamy tomato sauce for pasta Is it pink? Or orange? It doesn’t sound nearly as fun to chat to you about an orange pasta sauce. I’m sticking with pink. Pink tomato cream sauce! “This pasta with tomato cream sauce is a less guilty way to get your creamy pasta fix!...
