Savory Indian style oatmeal for breakfast (traditionally made with semolina)

a delicious veg curry

This is a super easy and warming lunch or dinner. It's especially lovely during cold weather.

I wanted a lentil and cabbage mix with beef added in without compromising taste and nutrition. I bought steak intended for stir frys and used that as my meat b/c there was not a speck of fat to be seen on it. Large amounts of garlic are necessary for the authentic taste but other users are welcome to experiment. My olive oil was also infused already with rosemary which added another great flavor component to this soup. I let this cook all day but you can cook as little as one hour. Enjoy!

These are Condiments and used extensively in Indian Meals to spice up everyday Fare.This chutney is a favourite in our home and is served often during the "Vegetarian" only days and with Ceremonial Food served during the various "Poojas" that take place.

These are Egg Saandwiches which were a part of my childhood Teas way back in the 1950s and 1960s.Simple to make and tasty, these provide the perfect Evening Snack with a glass of Milk or a cup of Tea---Green or with Milk.The Chilli and Curry Powders add a tangy twist to the otherwise staid taste---you can increase or decrease these to suit your taste---or do away with these altogether---adding a dash of Black Pepper Powder instead!!

My comfort Food is mostly North Indian---because that was the Cuisine that I grew up on.The hearty Recipes that I learnt by observation of the various Cooks my mother employed taught me more than one way to prepare this---each had his own special Ingredient---this Recipe is my favourite.Of course we would add enough Ghee to the Food-----and the Curry would be literally swimming in it---and the Taste of that rich preparation would be highly satisfying and yum!!!Specially in the cold Winter days it used to act as a warming agent----chasing away the Cold by creating a warm sensation in the Belly!!!

Sonia is one of my neighbours---a confirmed Vegetarian--- well known to us for her quick and easy methods of cooking great Meals at short notice.She has short cuts for almost everything and has full 4-5 course Meals ready in a jiffy!!Here is her Recipe for preparing Fried Okra with a Chinese Twist!!!

This is a very popular Drink in Mumbai as we have Weather which ranges from warm,warmer and hot throughout the year.This is basically an Iranian Recipe which is delicious and filling.Earlier I would make our own Vermicelli but now I use the Bambino Brand Vermicelli for this.
I have also given the Recipe for making the Saffron Syrup if you like the taste and flavour of Saffron.Rose Syrup and Rooh Afza are available in Indian Stores everywhere.You can also use Fruit Crushes like Strawberry,Cherry etc.to vary the taste.So also any Ice Cream Flavour can be used---the Sky is the limit to experiment with Food!!!!

This recipe is great for a layered Rice dish and makes a great one dish meal for either Lunch or Dinner with a Salad or a Raita.I personally prefer a Raita as it is the traditional accompaniment with a Biryani.

These Milk Squares or Barfi are a much loved treat in all Indian households.The old method of preparing this Sweet calls for cooking the Milk in a wide mouthed, heavy bottomed pan and stirring constantly till it solidifies.Not just Time consuming but exhausting too.
This is a lighter Recipe and healthier because it has lesser calories than the original and is quicker to make.Tastes good too----purists however may not agree!!!

Main course dish

This is a fragrant, filling dish. The colors are amazing!

Try something different in your curry! Don't forget to add the rice.

A favorite everyday dal. Kamla allowed me to follow her in the kitchen one summer and I now have several Indian recipes to enjoy. Yum! I love cooking in bulk and freezing in individual servings. This is spicy hot for my tastes . . . please cut the chili pepper in half or even a third if you prefer less heat.

This is my favorite mock curried chicken salad. It is made using TVP. Great on a bed of lettuce, on a sandwich or served with crackers or even in a wrap! Enjoy :)

Sinfully good....and not very good for you but oh so wonderful!!!! So sweet, however, that one will do you :)

Fish! Yum!
