This Peanut Butter Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Loaf is possibly the most epic from-scratch creation to come out of my pokey little kitchen all year! All I wanted was a moist chocolate loaf with a creamy peanut butter filling baked inside. A quick Google to find a recipe, and I was pretty surprised that no such thing existed. Twelve attempts later, I understood why. Who knew it would be so hard to create a chocolate quick bread that is truly moist without using bananas, zucchinis, apple sauce or any other ingredient not typically used in cake?...

Usually in South Indian restaurants when we order poori, we always get the delicious Potato masala. The similar masala will also be served inside masala dosa too. I love that poori masala very much. I have posted the potato masala for poori with video in Jeyashri’s kitchen. Apart from this I have posted North Indian style Aloo masala to pair with poori and chapati. Even this masala goes well with Jeera rice too....

Recently when we went to a friend’s house for dinner. We were talking about food and that time she was telling about this interesting Sorakkai dosa. As her family members are bit choosy in eating veggies, she mask this bottle gourd this way and make dosa. I noted down the recipe from her and tried it yesterday. It turned out very well. Since I added red chili, toor dal and chana dal, it tasted like a thin adai dosa....

Yep. Yep, I can. Why? Because it has allll the flavors of chili and more. Annnnd because of the way that I cooked the butternut squash – it even has a “bean”-like texture, you know, if you use your imagination a little bit. Why make chili without beans? Some folks just don’t tolerate them well – and they’re also not paleo-friendly. (If you prefer beans in chili, try my white chicken chili or kidney bean chili)....

Is that totally pathetic? Or would you be just as excited as me? I think I’m at this awkward age/stage in life where I have no idea what I’m “supposed” to be excited about. Butternut Squash? Partying all night? Both? Neither? Is it wrong that these days squash makes me happier than wine? That last question was rhetorical. Yes, it’s wrong. But if loving squash over wine is wrong, I don’t want to be right....

Never fear. You won’t have that problem with this recipe! 😂 I know this recipe is called Sticky Toffee Pudding by most of the world – other than Australia and New Zealand it seems....

I was first introduced to this coffee(kapi, to be more precise in Tamil) by our neighbor aunty. Sukku is dry ginger and malli means coriander seeds. I have told about her in the Kurunai vadai post too. Almost every week aunty makes this and brings piping hot sukku kaapi in the evening for my mom and paati in a big vessel. Initially, my sister and I will not even taste this as we feel that it is not meant for us....

My plan for this upcoming holiday season is thus to still bring festivities, cheer and some exciting new ideas on to your Thanksgiving table whilst being mindful of the circumstances we face in these times.

Vietnamese pork noodle bowls I find it funny that pho is the dish that’s become the superstar of Vietnamese food when bun thit nuong is tastier to me! I adore the contrast of fresh vegetables and herbs with delicious grilled meats, that it’s light and healthy yet anything but dull. It’s a big bowl of delicious, and I shared the chicken version many years ago (bun ga nuong). And as soon as I cracked the pork version, I shared in immediately (just last Wednesday!...
