Orzo Salad with Tomatillo-Basil Pesto

2009-11-06T03:39:15Z

I think I’ve set an all time personal record for the longest blogging lull in this space. It’s been almost four weeks since my last post. I do have a valid excuse this time though. We are going on a much awaited vacation in couple of days and it got extremely crazy at work trying [...]

2009-10-13T18:27:34Z

I made this eons ago, but never posted the recipe as the picture didn’t look all that appetizing. Today while hunting through the drafts for my next post I realized that I only had chicken dishes in there. I am sure you guys have had a chicken overload by now, so I had to get [...]

Chicken Fry with a Green Chili Marinade

2009-10-05T02:36:44Z

Whenever I think about spicy chicken dishes there is one dish that stands out in my mind; one perfect chicken preparation that I measure all the others against. It’s been more than a decade since I last had it. So I am not sure if it is as good as I remember or if it [...]

Orange Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

2009-10-01T07:22:36Z

When someone tells me that they don’t like salads, I always think that they might be using the wrong dressing. Of course I don’t tell them that as I don’t like giving out unsolicited advice (except here on this blog. Here it is really not unsolicited, is it? You are reading out of your free [...]

A Chicken Fry from Chettinad – Kozhi Uppu Varuval

2009-09-20T23:42:54Z

I am one of those people who start salivating at the mere mention of the word Chettinad. It is the spiciest cuisine I have come across and you all know spice is my favorite flavor. Now, whenever I mention a region in a dish title, I know what’s going to follow next – the authenticity [...]

Comfort Food – Bitter Gourd-Tomato-Tamarind Curry

2009-09-27T00:08:45Z

Comfort food has been discussed to death over here and in many other forums. To me, comfort food is what I won’t mind eating every single day of my life if I had to. In fact I had a post about two years ago asking the readers to share their pick if they had to [...]

Weekend Brunch – Sweet Potato and Sausage Hash with Fried Egg and Garlic Green Chili Aioli

2009-09-13T21:44:55Z

If I had to pick my favorite meal of the day, I’d pick brunch without giving it a second thought. It might be because brunch is a strictly weekend deal, so it feels special or it may just be the fact that no brunch is complete without eggs. I absolutely love eggs, in any form [...]

Spinach, Fennel and White Bean Soup in Light Coconut Milk

2009-09-11T05:55:03Z

It is not yet soup weather here in Seattle, but then again I am not really one of those by-the-season eaters anyway. I can have a nice hearty bowl of soup even when it is 100F outside, provided there is air conditioning inside. This soup was invented out of necessity last week as a quick [...]

Pesto Green Beans and South Beach Diet Phase 1 Week 1 Update

2009-09-02T06:07:03Z

Looks like I have been starting every other blog post with an apology. This time I have a genuine excuse for my tardiness. Over the past three months I have spent a good amount of time at the chiropractor’s office and with a physical therapist due to a constant pain in the neck. (And no, [...]
