Ridge Gourd with Sesame (Turai Til Subzi)
This is one of my favorite subzis to make in the summer when ridge gourds are in season. No ridge gourds? Try it with bottle-gourd, sponge gourd, any soft gourd like calabash, or a soft squash or even pumpkin. Tender. Flavourful. Very satisfying, with the delicious, rich taste and creamy texture of toasted, powdered sesame…
Baked Okra Crisps
Crunch crunch crunch crunch. All gone. That’s how long they last – these Bhindi crisps.
Baked Cherry Tomatoes
Morsel-sized flavour bombs. If you haven’t ever got around to baking plum tomatoes, you should. Not only are they super easy, they’re also incredibly versatile and go with nearly everything from pizza to pasta to salad, to toppings on bread, to main ingredient in a soup, to what not. Not that I get a chance…
Saffron Almond Panna cotta
This desert captures the purest essence of very Indian flavours in a delightfully new, vegan, and very healthy avatar. “Badam Milk” or almond milk is a very popular beverage that’s enjoyed either steaming hot or chilled in many parts of the country, and especially so in my city of Bengaluru. In this version, there…
Peanut Macaroons
Around three years ago, there was an explosion in the world of vegan desserts with the discovery of aquafaba, as a vegan eggwhite replacer that could be used effectively in many aerated desserts.

Humble-looking, it belies it’s delicious quotient, packed with crunch, zing and nutritional value, and it really needs to be more mainstream than it usually is (typically a bar snack) because it’s easy, quick, and eminently…
Chocolate Date Truffles
Healthy, guilt-free, delicious. Also vegan, gluten-free. Mini figures courtesy Y2. 😀 No, the truffles didn’t need those tools, actually. ; Luckily, no need to fret while reaching out for that extra one.The other day, I made several of these for a birthday treat. They’re pretty addictive! So, of course, I had several extra ones. Just…
Kandi Pappu (Roasted Toor Dal)
Simple, earthy, nourishing, delicious. Looks can be deceptive. 😉 Toor dal, called Kandi Pappu in Telugu, is one of the most common, everyday dals used in the average Indian household (though, not by far, the only one!). When someone says “yellow dal” it’s very likely that this is the one they mean, although there are…
Healthy Wholewheat Banana Bread (Vegan)
Great even plain, just by itself. More of a tea-cake, really, this is one delicious recipe that keeps getting made often in my house. I would go so far as to say that it joins the list of those traditional snacks, like namak paras, or atta laddus (so rich, but highly desirable!) that are generally…

A good way to start incorporating ancient grains – millets, in everyday diet is with this wholewheat bread with finger millet, fresh dill and a touch of spice using hot green chilli peppers. Ragi or Finger Millet is one of the better known and, in fact, quite widely used millets in many parts of South…
