My first weekend out and about in town. I got to the post office 2 hours before it opened, to get my car license renewed. 2 hours before the time and I was still number 4 in the line. I spent roughly an hour, getting everything sorted in the post office and after that the … Continue reading Chargrilled pineapple

I could never give up potatoes in any form that they come in. Be it roast potatoes, chips, mashed potatoe or curry. Just never, just thinking about it is making me crave for Rocco mama’s loaded fries, which of course due to Covid 19, they aren’t making. So sad I tell you. As an Indian, … Continue reading Spiced potatoes

I love hearing the miso in recipes it seems so exotic and such a foodie word to say, my parents get excited when they hear me saying we are having a miso dish.

So after Thursday’s speech by the President, I was just out of it. After he gave his findings and his plans, it was like the last little energy that was keeping my body running, just ran out.

I do know that it is just a dream for now and it will most likely be months before I even … Continue reading Potatoe and chickpea burger

All I will say, is that it is a miracle that any food arrived on the table for lunch. I have lost track of the days and weeks at the moment. It seems like a life time ago since the President extended lockdown, when it fact it hasn’t even been a week. What is sleep? … Continue reading Onion, mushroom and spinach subji

I find it completely strange to cook a curry without onions. I am so used to adding the onions and sautéing it till I can add the tomatoes, but then when there are no onions. I just get lost along the way and land up following to recipe to the tee. I was not really … Continue reading No garlic beans curry

So I try to keep myself busy in the evening ensuring that when the clock … Continue reading Quick chickpeas and spinach
