These crispy little cabbage-like cuties are coated in a rosemary-infused sweet and syrupy sauce, and they are so good! Look at those little leaves just soaking in all that flavor: Crispy brussels sprouts are a staple veggie in our house this time of year. Have you tried my apple cider brussels or my chipotle maple brussels? These days, I’m all about the rosemary balsamic glaze. To make it, I simmer balsamic vinegar along with a little maple syrup and fresh rosemary and reduce the mixture until it turns into a thick and syrupy sauce....

Idli is the most staple South Indian recipe . We usually make Idli by grinding idli rice and urad dal and ferment it for 8-12 hours. Other than that we make Instant Rava Idli using sooji. This Sago Idli is an easy idli recipe without any grinding and fermentation. I got this recipe from my friend Meera a long time back. I have tried this a few times at home....

I make this sesame chicken pretty often on weeknights. It’s an easy dish to make and it’s really delicious. The chicken is breaded and baked. Right before serving, drizzle some sweet and spicy sesame finishing oil on top! It’s always a hit and the best part is that it’s so simple to make. This past weekend, I turned 29-years-old. I can’t believe this is the last year that I’ll be able to say I’m in my twenties....

After more ideas? Browse all my roast lamb recipes! Slow Roast Leg of Lamb I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – lamb leg should either be roasted exactly such that it’s blushing pink inside – either whole or butterflied – or long and slow so it’s ultra tender. Blushing pink = meat thermometer or holding-your-breath-cross-your-fingers for that moment when you carve, hoping for juicy lamb rather than grey and dry....

After coming home, I was thinking about that then the idea of sweet ammini kozhukattai, which I have seen on many websites came to my mind. Definitely in no way it will match the traditional modakam, but to satiate the cravings of the kozhukattai, you can try this one. You can use store bought rice flour or idiyappam flour for making this. If you live in a place where you won’t get fresh coconut, you follow the poornam recipe, following my modakam using desiccated coconut....

Welcome back to THAI WEEK! Welcome back to the final instalment of THAI WEEK, a week where I’m sharing 3 recipes to make your very own Thai feast at home! Every now and then, I like to do a recipe theme week. This week it’s THAI week, with three classic recipes to make your very own Thai feast at home: Thai Black Sticky Rice Pudding Black sticky rice is a type of glutinous whole grain rice used to make desserts in Thailand and a number of other South-East Asian nations....

The two stars of this Thai red vegetable curry: snap peas and water chestnuts. No matter how long you cook those two veggies, they’re going to keep their crunch. And the rest of the veggie cast in this production deserve your applause too: broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Those are obviously not going to be as crunchy (unless you add them at the end… but don’t do that). Still, what those vegetables lack in crunch, they make up for in another way....

Murukku I always make during Diwali time. I rarely make it at other times and we don’t buy snacks from outside too. I wanted to try this Tomato chakkli recipe during the last Diwali. But somehow it couldn’t happen. As kids are at home wanted to make this Instant muruku to satisfy their snack cravings. The tomato murukku turned out so well. Puree 3 ripe tomatoes into a fine paste....

I always have a can of Cannellini Beans in my pantry. It really amazes me how many uses I find for it – in salads, as a quick mash (check out my Garlic White Bean Mash In A Flash), soups and dips. It’s filling, nutritious, and can be eaten practically straight out of the can with just a squeeze of lemon and olive oil. Using it as a bruschetta topping is fantastic....

What is Vegeta? Vegeta is a European vegetable based seasoning that’s used to add flavour into soups, sauces and stews, or to make liquid stock/broth by adding water. Think of it as salt – but with flavour! Nowadays, its widely available one very day grocery stores. It’s known by a few different names: vegetable stock powderall purpose or gourmet seasoninggranulated bouillon. Whatever the various labels on the cans and jars, the one thing that remains consistent is the distinct blue label!...

Why did I come up with this game? I wanted to share something useful for you – a tool to help with meal planning. I find games to be a fun way to spark an interest in learning. I hope that this game inspires you to make and learn more about Indian cuisine. So what is a thali? A thali is a large circular rimmed plate that holds smaller bowls filled with food....

Last week I shared my Real Chinese All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce recipe, the ultimate secret weapon for fast mid week meals. It takes minutes to mix up then can be stored in the fridge for weeks, and you can use it for stir fries (including noodles) and even soups. It’s great to use as a base to add other flavours – such as herbs, chilli and of course garlic and ginger – but it has enough of a depth of flavour that you can even use it on its own....

Karuveppilai podi | karivepaku podi is a healthy, iron rich podi recipe. I have posted my mom’s version of curry leaves podi in Jeyashri’s kitchen. We roast dals and curry leaves along with red chilis to make the curry leaves podi. This version of Andhra style spicy karuvepaku podi, which I learnt from my friend very long back. We are adding garlic, cumin seeds, coriander seeds along with the usual urad dal and chana dal....

Ayam Goreng (Malaysian Fried Chicken) Human beings love fried chicken. It explains why so many cultures have some version of this wickedly delicious food, and every country thinks their version is king. But why play favourites? I think there is room in this world (and my belly) for all great fried chickens to happily coexist. For one, my mother would put my head on a stick if I didn’t make mention of Karaage (Japanese fried chicken)....

Bread coconut rolls or bread poli rolls, an interesting snack recipe, my friend Anu was telling about me this a few days back. She made these sweet bread rolls using leftover coconut poornam. It sounded very interesting and I wanted to give it a try and share it in Jeyashri’s Kitchen. I have already shared a few savory bread roll recipes like Bread paneer roll and bread masala dosa roll recipe....

One-pot pulaos are always loved by everyone at home. It is easy to pack for a lunch box. Also, pulao with rich gravy and dal always finds a place in the party menu too. I have shared many pulao recipes in Jeyashri’s kitchen. Basmati rice is the best rice for making pulao. A few weeks back I made this pulao for dinner using cabbage and peas. It was a super hit at home....
