Hello there, Hope each one of you are safe, hale and hearty, snuggled in a thick duvet with a steaming hot cup of coffee or soup, ready to face the soon-coming winter. If you live in a part of the world which is awaiting blazing, hot summers…don’t tell me for I will turn red with…
Chicken Katsu Curry
Hello hello! 🙂 Hope everyone is doing okay in various parts of the world? The present circumstances seem unreal , right? I have barely stepped out of the house ever since the Irish PM announced the closure of schools and colleges in March. I was in college at the time (I am a culinary arts…
Eureka Paneer Tikka Puffs!
Hello world, How is everyone doing in this real-life sci-fi movie that we seem to be living in nowadays? It just seems so surreal that the whole world has come to an abrupt stand-still. So many have perished already to this deadly epidemic that came out of nowhere and worst still, we have no idea…
Festive delights: Tempting Samosas!
India is a land of many festivals. Back home, as Holi or Diwali approaches, air seems heavy with festive anticipation. One of the major festivals of Hinduism, Holi spiritually signifies the victory of good over evil and hope over despair. It is also referred to as “Festival of Spring” or “Festival of colors”. Holi is celebrated as…
Easiest appetizer: Lemon-Garlic Shrimp!
Shrimp or Prawns is not something that I have grown up eating. The nearest I used to come to eating it until a while ago was the deep-fried version that we get in food court at the mall where the crispy batter partially over-powers the taste of the shrimp itself. Not to forget, that version…
The Best Winter-Special Minestrone soup!
Hello Foodies, I hope that weather at your end of the world is nicer than ours, because here in Ireland, winter is far from over. Every time it seems that the days are getting warmer, we are hit by another cold wave and freezing winds which tell us otherwise. The silver lining is that the…
Fiery Hot Baked-PiriPiri Wings!
So my dear friend and classmate from college recently traveled to the mystical land of Portugal and got me a lovely bottle of Extra-hot Piri Piri sauce from there. To give you a little backstory… for a stereotypical Indian, my threshold for spice is ridiculously low. I have seen four year old kids of our…
Hearty Winter Treat: Chole-Bhature (Spicy Chickpea curry with deep-fried, puffed bread)

M&L inspired-Kung-Pao Chicken!
Heyyyylooo foodies, Can you believe that this is my first post of the new year??????? Unbelievable! I had my Semester-end exams going on, which were God-oh-God so stressing and I am glad that I am finally done with them. I have a nice 10 day break before the next sem starts and I plan to…
Aromatic Egg Biryani
As an adult, I think Biryani is my favorite Indian dish. Meat/veggies/eggs and rice are cooked separately before being layered with various elements and finally, cooked together in steam…it results in one of the most tempting and insanely delicious rice preparations ever. Seriously, if you haven’t tried Biryani until now, you are missing a lot. Biryani can…
Festive Christmas Fruit Cake- 2019!
Hello everyone! Gosh, It’s almost Christmas. It’s such a joy to see all the houses in our neighborhood as well as the ones which are on my bus route, all decked up in twinkling yellow and blue lights. The stunning trees in the windows, reindeer decorations in the lawns, Christmas carols in the shops and…
Indian-classic: Bharwa-Bhindi (Spice-stuffed Okra)
I have been living outside India for many years now. One of the most annoying things that I still struggle to date is – calling Bhindi as ‘Okra’, as opposed to ‘Lady-fingers’ which we have grown up calling it back home. I remember the first time I asked for ‘Lady-fingers’ at a vegetable shop in…
