Soya Chunks  Broccoli Curry  | Soya Chunks Curry Recipe | Indian Recipe I attribute my varied palate to my Appa and Amma and no one else. Although South-Indian, growing up I was exposed to so many cuisines and I am not talking about, "just in restaurants". I am talking about "in Amma's kitchen". She wasn't just the Idli-Dosa kinda mom. She always ensured that she cooked up a different storm in the kitchen everyday and for that, I cannot be more thankful. Way before this whole "vegan" thing came into existence, she introduced me to Soya Chunks. We did eat non-veg at home but not everyday. That's when the humble Soya Chunks/ Soya Nuggets come to the rescue. The texture and taste (according to me) are nothing when compared to chicken but there is something about these nuggets that strike a chord with my palate.  Soya chunks especially when cooked in a curry form absorb water and spices. You take one bite and you realize ho...

Hummus | Carrot Hummus | Carrot Hummus Recipe Anyone who loves Middle Eastern cuisine will and should know about the humble HUMMUS. For us Indians, we'd probably know it as simple Chickpea Paste or Chana Paste. No Big Deal. I did not know they made different flavours of HUMMUS until one day I stumbled upon a picture that had featured CARROT HUMMUS (YUM!). I instantly glued myself to my laptop and ran through many tabs titled   Carrot Hummu s or Carrot Humus Recipe or #carrothummus and I was pleasantly surprised and hungry! Most people online roasted the carrots in an oven.

Learn How to make Guacamole | Simple Guacamole Recipe | Guacamole Dip As a kid, whenever Amma and I went to the local fruit juice shop back in India, I'd always choose between two and only two fruits. The king of fruits, MANGO and the other was the lesser known and slightly more expensive " BUTTERFRUIT". Little did I know that as I'd grow up, I'd find out the actual name of this fruit is AVOCADO and that I'd be a huge fan of using this in my meals. I was so oblivious to the fact that the dip that restaurants served with their Nachos/Corn Chips was actually Avocado based GUACAMOLE | GUACAMOLE DIP. Looking at how obsessed I am with Guacamole / Guacamole Dip it is safe to say that I look forward to spending some part of my life in Mexico, by the beach, drinking Corona and binging on nachos and tacos and burritos 🌯 and freshly made Guacamole | Guacamole Dip. Mexican man on the side would be great too 😋😋 WHAT YOU NEED FOR GUACAMOLE | GUACAMOLE DIP ...
