Simple salads really do not need recipes. That’s really the case with this Guava & Sweet Corn Salad. However, this is a salad I like very much and thought I should share it. I love guavas, both white and red. For some reason, we don’t get very good red guavas here. We do get very…
The monsoons are here, and it’s been raining like crazy especially along the west coast of India. Cities have been getting flooded as there is no little respite from the heavy rain. Its is perfect weather for soup though, if you think about it. Soups are really not my thing whether cooking them or eating…
A birthday deserves to be celebrated even if only in a simple manner. So this year, we marked our daughter’s birthday with this Vegan Tapioca Pearl Pudding.

I have been on an ice-cream/ gelato making spree of sorts. You can blame it on the hot, hot summer. Thankfully, this summer is over and the monsoons are here. However, I have a variety of my summer time ice-creams/ gelato to share with you all. Today it’s Vegan Coconut Gelato. I’m from Kerala and…
We use mangoes, especially raw mangoes a lot in the traditional cuisine of my Palakkad Iyer community. They’re pickled and also cooked with, both raw and ripe. We also make quite a few varieties of vegetable rice. Yet we don’t make Raw Mango Rice. Maybe it is because we make Lemon Rice which is quite close…
