Saute de Gros Noir d'Hiver et feuillage de radis

2010-03-03T16:10:00.001-08:00

Sound so much sexier in French No? So I saw this black rotund root on the shelves, I expected to see a deep colored flesh. Instead the Black Radish turned out to be ebony and ivory. And it did make its own music with the plump radish greens. Who said winter veggies are boring? Black Radish tastes like Daikon radish except it was more pungent and had an extra bite. Also while frying it didnt yield

".... But the true king of Mumbai street cuisine has to be the Pav Bhaji.It is impossible to escape the aroma of dollops of butter swimming in bhaji, a thick gravy of potatoes, tomatoes, peas and onions spiked with coriander and a special pav bhaji spice mix.

Tomato Olive Rotini Casserole

2008-08-27T05:41:00.000-07:00

The only time I had anything resembling a casserole was a Mac and cheese casserole at an American Diner back in Oklahoma. Now I had a fridge to clean up, and finish up that odd one vegetable, a cup of cheese, and I remembered Hetal's tomato corn casserole. Although I could not follow her recipe because of the lack of availability of ingredients, her dish was an inspiration. I added all the

Prickly Pear Margarita / Cactus Pear Margarita

2008-08-25T17:38:00.000-07:00

My first tryst with the prickly pear was when I watched Wile E Coyote chase Road runner. All Wil E Coyote wanted to do was eat the road runner. All Road runner did was made a jack ass off the coyote."Road runner the coyote's after you; Road runner if he catches you you are through"Apart from Acme anvils dropping on the coyote. I distinctly remember two other things from the show, tumbleweed and

Indian rice pudding/ Bellam Paravannam

2008-08-21T06:56:00.000-07:00

Paravannam derived from Parama + annam literally means supreme rice or nectarean food. This rice pudding from India is considered just that. Often and almost always cooked as an offering to the God, this is quintessential naivedyam (offering).An authentic way of doing this of course is boiling raw rice in milk. Today I used a cheat code, as I had to tend to other things. I loved the result.1 cup

Green Hyacinth Bean and Tomato stir fry / Tomato chikkudukaya koora

Tomato Chikkudukaya is my absolute favorite comfort food. Chikkudukaya i.e. Indian broad beans also known as Green Hyacinth Beans have an evil twin the Purple Hyacinth beans.

Sour greens and Lentils / Gongura Pappu

2008-08-14T11:35:00.000-07:00

Being an Andhra gal, craving for Gongura is genetically encoded in me.Gongura (kenaf)leaf totally reminds me of Cannabis(hemp) and while you and I might be tempted to buddy with Harold and Kumar and start smoking it, note that it is better consumed like a regular green leaf.So sticking to the tradition I made gongura with lentils.Sorrel leaves are sour too, they would be a good substitute for

Mom used to cook this dish quite often, and I looked forward to this yummy combination of tender baby brinjals stuffed with coriander pesto, sauted, and garnished with mustard seeds with a splash of lime. I do not get good baby brinjals here so I use Chinese eggplant. Since they are long and not really stuff-able I diced them and cooked them in the pesto on top. Enjoy!Preparation time: 10

Eggsperiment and Red Cabbage with Broccoli Curry

2008-07-09T08:45:00.000-07:00

I have opened my kitchen doors to find out that the hubs indeed ate at Subway and Thai Heaven. It is unfair to single him out the only cooking I did was to fry an egg on the pavement while staying in Phoenix. It was 115 o F outside and the eggsperiment simply had to be conducted. After about 3 lonely hours on the pavement the yolk coagulated not cooked and the white evaporated. Perhaps a better

Tofu in Spinach Gravy / Palak Tofu

2008-05-20T12:57:00.000-07:00

When we were in grad school, we did not have an Indian store nearby and depended on a generic Asian food mart. Which meant no ready made 'paneer' (un-fermented cottage cheese). So we substituted it with firm tofu. I guess it was an existing secret we just rediscovered. This was constantly on our menu as our roomie was a vegan. Inspired from the Rocker on road episode, where he showcases Tofu

'Gaarelu' are they are savory donuts from India made with wet ground urad dal/black lentil . If you already know what gaarelu are you must be wondering why they are looking like punugulu and not gaarelu. Thats because I had a hungry hubby to feed and couldn't quickly churn out donuts w/o looking like Unidentified Fried Objects.So I spruced up the dough with onion, green chillies & cilantro and

Vegetable pasta

It was rainy today and was in no mood to cook, until my cravings for a hot lunch took over. So I ran to my no fuss pasta dish.

Potato chickpeas burger / Aaloo tikki with kabuli channa

2008-05-07T17:06:00.000-07:00

After coming to the US, a vegetable burger often means eating a soy patty or a huge grilled portabella mushroom. Back in India things are different I would kill for a Universal bakery (Secunderabad) veggie burger . This is my take on the veggie burger w/o compromising on the taste or nutrition. This attempt was also inspired by the Lentil chickpea burger recipe from 'The Essential Vegetarian

2008-05-06T13:25:00.001-07:00

Sambar was my staple as a grad student. We used to make a whole lot and eat for a days at end. Today I made sambar with a medley of root vegetables like carrot, beet and radish.
