I got introduced to pastas very late in life, somewhere in my late-20s but when I did, I was hooked for life. At that time, the pasta dishes used to be quite rudimentary in the Indian culinary scene. Apart from a handful of five star speciality restaurants, most places sold either pasta in white sauce...Read More

What is a curry? The age old question that has been debated much and beyond with no hope of an answer in sight! Well, I do not wish to get into the origin of this word; Wikipedia does a good job of that. Neither do I wish to get into what the world defines a...Read More

The past week started off hectic, but very exciting. A new project came into fruition (spoiler alert!); of course you would soon get to hear about it. And this meant a lot of planning, cooking and shooting amidst other writing assignments. But I loved this hectic pace; I was in my best creative space which...Read More
The ‘vindaloo’ is a famous traditional Goan dish usually prepared using pork meat. Culinary history has it that this dish was inspired by a Portugese dish which used meat, wine and garlic. When the Portugese left, the Anglo-Indian settlers of the region re-created that dish using local ingredients like vinegar to bring about the same...Read More
Duck Molee is inspired from the famous fish preparation from Kerala; a creamy flavourful lightly spiced curry with coconut milk and spices.

A delicious and traditional Cambodian chicken curry perfect with steamed white rice. It's soupy, creamy from the coconut milk and the use of unique spices, herbs and aromatics like lemongrass, shrimp paste etc... makes this a must try curry.

A list of favourites for the first month of the year....
Easy to make, juicy, mildly spiced tuna kebabs made from fresh tuna; an excellent choice as party appetizers.
The modern twists on classics was exciting and it delivered on flavour too which is a key factor when playing around with tradition. Can’t wait to go back to try other dishes.
A classic, traditional chutney from Kerala, Puli Inji which means tamarind ginger chutney is an integral part of the cuisine and of course the Onam sadya. It's tangy, mildly spiced, aromatic, fragrant and super delicious.

A rustic Anglo Indian chicken curry
Kopparberg is a premium Swedish cider that takes its name from the beautiful town Kopparberg in Sweden where it is brewed. What makes this cider extraordinary in flavour is the soft water used along with the fermentation of the fruit. This soft water is exclusive to the region of Kopparberg and has a unique mineral content which draws out the natural flavour of the fruit.

Every month, I team up with a couple of my girlfriends for a bit of ‘our’ time minus the hubbies and kids. A couple of hours that we spent over good food experiences, chatting, venting, giggling…basically having a great time re-fuelling ourselves for the daily grind before we meet again the following month. And this...Read More

It is a well-known fact that India has a highly varied culinary scene which means that a lifetime might not be enough to experience and understand all the different cuisines that make up this vast country. My knowledge of Bengali cuisine is very rudimentary; it would be right to say that this is my first...Read More

Mutton Roganjosh, a Kashmiri nonvegetarian curry that has become a staunch favourite worldwide. A rich and flavourful dish with complex flavours from a unique blend of spices and aromatics.
I love walking into random restaurants and cafes, without any prior reviews or suggestions, and willing to get surprised. More often than not, it has been a disappointment but sometimes, I end up finding little gems (which I hear that Melbourne has a lot) along the way. I wouldn’t call Derby Thai a gem but...Read More
I have an obsessive and passionate relationship with coffee. Though our love affair began only in my mid-20s, it has been a whirlwind one right from the start.
