Skillet Potatoes in Mojo De Ajo (Garlic Oil)

My mom has had me on a strict “baby friendly” diet ever since Surya arrived.  There’s a whole laundry list of foods that should apparently be avoided while nursing.  The list is in part derived from the internet and by way of word of mouth from my aunties in India.  I’m just thankful to have [...]

Cracked Wheat Can Taste Good (Really)

Cracked.  Wheat.  Porridge.  Nothing about that sounds good to me.  Cracked wheat porridge with vegetables.  Melt in your mouth potatoes.  Sweet peas and carrots.  And spices.  And creamy yogurt.  Served piping hot.  It starts to sound better, no?  Cracked wheat is made by cracking whole raw wheat berries.  This means that it’s high in fiber and [...]

Yesterday on Everyday Food Radio, host Sandy Gluck was talking about sweet versus savoury french toast.  I shared with her listeners a recipe for Rajat’s Desi Style French Toast, a spicy, savoury french toast served with ketchup and chutney (no syrup here folks).  Of course, I was a bit of a bad wife because I entirely [...]

Aloo Tikki Sandwich

Earlier this month, I daringly ventured into the Indian breadmaking arena.  In case you missed my Aloo Paratha post, it was a challenge that turned out to be surmountable after all.  My aloo balls for stuffing the paratha must have been a little on the small side though because we had some leftover aloo filling.

Nutella Ricotta Stuffed Pancakes and Roasted Home Fries

Last night, we met some friends for dinner at Cafe Ino, and I didn’t manage to save any room for their nutella panino.  We woke up this morning to hear what could only have been ginormous raindrops hitting our skylight, and I knew it was a perfect day for a decadent brunch.  We made nutella [...]

Hold the Eggs – Tofu Sramble with Pesto

It’s been nearly five months since R and I returned to Brooklyn from a three year stint in Boston.  Though the southerner in me is thrilled to have escaped before Boston’s winter, I do miss New England summers and easy escapes to the idyllic surroundings of the Cape, Maine and Vermont.  This Labor Day weekend, [...]
