Back in the ‘new normal’?
My last post was 2 years back, I remember posting chapter 2 of the Eurotrip travel series and then vanishing into thin air. It was mostly because of firewalls in my laptop and various system incompatibilities that were making it difficult to post decent looking blogs with decent hi-res pictures etc. I had given up after a few trials. However what I did not give up is on my domain subscription and…

Eurotrip Chapter 2: Germany – Warmth and home-cooked meals
Eurotrip Chapter 2: Germany – Warmth and home-cooked meals
The unpredictability of the weather continued throughout our journey across countries; we witnessed extreme temperature variations within such a short span of time that we were unused to in India (here its usually always hot, unless it’s the colder months – no surprises there). Velbert and Essen for example were much cooler than Cologne, whereas as we moved to Amsterdam, it was about 8-10 degrees…

Eurotrip – Chapter 1: Killing time at Istanbul airport
Eurotrip – Chapter 1: Killing time at Istanbul airport
We have always heard that planning for a trip is usually more exciting that the trip itself. But what happens when two of the most impulsive people on the face of the earth need to ‘plan’ a trip to Europe. Thrown with so many options for locations, and so little time, planning on the destinations for the 2 week long trip became a living nightmare for yours truly – more importantly because I was…

Quinoa pongal
We landed this morning from a whirlwind work-cum-getaway trip down south. Walked into a home with limited provisions and a southern hangover that was difficult to ignore while planning what to cook for brunch – we were very hungry. Husband got some eggs and I had almost promised him egg hakka noodles except by the time I got down to cooking I had changed my mind and thought of healthier options.…

The North Sikkim Escapade
The end of the financial year marks a phase where everything is rushed to attempt a photofinish by March 31st. Innumerable reminders to reconcile administrative tasks and closing business while making it look good in a month which marks the onset of hot summer is often enough to trigger a complete burnout – a time when you say enough is enough I need to get out of this shit and stay away from my…

Crispy baked basa
Petrified by our health diagnoses a few months back, we had embarked on a conscious diet regime to compliment the medication we were on for our respective issues. Encouraged by the results and in keeping with the broad theme of light and clean eating, I baked this crispy fish item twice in a row given high demand at home.
I found the idea online while browsing through newer healthier ways of…

Black rice pudding
Today was one of those days when i really wanted to unwind after weekend after weekend of work to finish, things to do, places to go etc, this was a weekend i wanted to resist any of those external forces that would make me to things i might not enjoy one hundred percent. Time with the self has become such a rarity these days that one has to make an effort to just be, once in a while. I doubt…

Homecoming with a fatty liver diet
I figured its been a really long time since my last post in may – half a year to be precise. its been a few months of health scares for us that have pushed us to make major changes in our lifestyle which i do not believe was too unhealthy in the first place, but i guess needed a bit of balance. walking and yoga have become a more regular part of our life as have vegetables, fruits and nuts. they…

Summer menu planning
Dear readers,
Summers are in and how! Getting into the kitchen has become a nightmare in this hot humid weather; and we are trying our best to keep it short and simple to avoid long and elaborate cooking charades. Encouraged by some ‘organise your week’ online tips by larger than life home goddesses, I have just about started to my weekly grocery shopping and menu planning.
I’ve started writing…

Happy Easter!
So what have you guys been doing this extended Easter weekend? For some its still on, right, with Monday in tow? For me though, its not – I’m back in office with slight Monday blues. I almost felt bad for being too immersed in work to foresee this long weekend and ‘planning’ a getaway before everyone else did – almost – until I set myself a cheaper and more desirable goal. I managed to finish a…

Thai Minced Chicken Larb Salad (Laab Gai)
Thai Minced Chicken Larb Salad (Laab Gai)
As most people initiated to Thai cuisine would know, laab is a popular tangy Thai salad usually made with beef or pork, flavored generously with fish sauce and lime juice. They also make it with chicken and call it Larb Gai, tastes just as nice. The citrus spicy flavours being very appealing to Indian taste buds, it is something that can be made for any meal of the day – as an appetiser or an…

Kolkata Puja for the uncultured bong
Everybody who knows anything about Kolkata knows that the pujas are the hottest thing the city has to offer. Non-resident Bengalis, probashis all over the world, television and print ads promoting tourism in Bengal will ensure you actually believe in it wholeheartedly. And probably, in their mind, they are right as well. In fact bongs would unanimously swear by the energy and happy vibes that…

The forgotten coastal town of Ratnagiri
The forgotten coastal town of Ratnagiri
This is where we grew up. The quaint town of Ratnagiri holds our favorite memories from childhood. My dad always said most people liked either mountains or the sea so what if we get both at once. Well, his placement to Ratnagiri did us just that. Between lush green Western Ghats and the lovely sands of the Konkan coastline – it gave us the best of both worlds. The people were simple, friendly,…

Nibbling around in the land of happiness
Apart from being the land of happiness, Bhutan can easily be called the land of colours; with their aesthetic architecture stealing our touristy hearts right from the time we set foot into the Royal Kingdom.
That’s how pretty
Had heard a lot about Bhutan not being a gastronomic delight. Refuse to believe it now that I’ve been there. Yes if you are looking to find your favorite cuisines cooked…
