There are so many recipes of our favorite Indian cauliflower curry with each one having its own unique twist, that I like to keep adding new ones to my repertoire, especially when they are from friends and family. This is one such recipe. Continue reading Garam Masala Fennel Cauliflower

How was your weekend? I hope it was relaxing and you are ready for the week ahead. For us Saturday was busy cooking and cleaning and setting the table for a dinner I was hosting. It had to be a special dinner as this was the first time our friends were coming over to our place. I made a vegetarian South Indian Tamil spread which seemed to be a huge hit with everyone. Phew, what a relief! One of the dishes on my menu was a cauliflower curry that I had just learnt how to make a few days earlier from my friend Padmini when she had me over for an impromptu lunch last week.

I have to be honest, I’ve never had a cake that incorporated fresh orange and lemon flesh before. Have you? Folks this citrus cake takes an orange and lemon cake to the next level! Continue reading Triple Citrus Bundt Cake
Happy Friday!
I hope you had a good week and are looking forward to a relaxing and fun weekend. It’s citrus season around here and if you live in the Bay Area and are driving around the neighborhoods you are probably seeing lots and lots of orange and lemon trees in every other front yard dripping with hundreds of oranges, tangerines and lemons. I see so many citrus on these trees and fallen on the floor that I wish I could just pick them all up and bring them home.
Happy Tuesday!

Here is a look at some pics of our lovely weekend in beautiful San Francisco. Continue reading Valentine’s Weekend in San Francisco
Greens are some of the healthiest vegetables we can eat and the best way to get more greens in every spoon full is to add them to soups, curries and stews. It’s amazing how many bags of greens you can use up when you toss them into any warm dish, they condense down to 1/4 their volume. I used 8-10 cups of arugula in this stew! But you would never know looking at it. This delicious stew has lots of greens such as arugula and other good for you ingredients such as ginger, turmeric, more veggies and tofu for a good dose of vegetarian protein. Served with a side of rice or quinoa this is healthy, delicious and a low caloric dish as you can get! Continue reading Arugula and Ridge Gourd Stew in Coconut Broth
