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

Spiced potatoes
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
Grilled butternut with miso parcels
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. Then they ask me to remind them again what miso is and when they remember that its fermented mushrooms that have been … Continue reading Grilled butternut with miso parcels
Pooniemas
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. Two days straight. I just ate and slept and drank coke like it was going to be banned … Continue reading Pooniemas
Curried refried beans
I only discovered refried beans way back in 2017, thanks to Ree Drummond. You can’t exactly go to the local Spar or supermarket down the road from you and pick up a few tins. You have to go to a specialty store to get your hands on these. I landed up buying a bulk pack … Continue reading Curried refried beans
Beans Frikkas

This past week I attempted to make her a veggie bunny chow and well it turned out to be disastrous. I made this failed attempt on Tuesday and every day of … Continue reading Beans Frikkas
Potatoe and chickpea burger
Every minute of every second of every day, I am dreaming about lock down being over and I can finally have a juicy steak or a big whooper burger with cheese and loaded fries. 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
Onion, mushroom and spinach subji
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
No garlic beans curry
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
Quick chickpeas and spinach
Today was one of those days. At the beginning of the year, I changed my sleeping routine and found out that if I get more than 6 hours of sleep a night I am sleep hung over the next morning. So I try to keep myself busy in the evening ensuring that when the clock … Continue reading Quick chickpeas and spinach
