This delicious Tofu aka Chick’n Satay with Peanut Sauce can …
When we were little my dad told us that this popular South Indian dish ‘Chicken 65’ was made with 65-day-old chicken. Keep in mind that my dad has been a lifelong vegetarian and has never eaten meat in his life, but he is a surgeon, so that may explain the grotesque detail in his theory. …

They’re crispy Indian fritters generally made with the ‘classic’ mix of onions and green chilies, but they come in ALL variations – sliced potato, eggplant, spinach leaves, cauliflower, stuffed long hot peppers, tomato – you …
I can never understand why some people would go to a restaurant, order a bunch of food, not finish it and then NOT pack it. The only times I would do this are if I’m on vacation and/or traveling, and I physically cannot carry the food or store the food. But even THEN I’d still …
YOU READ THAT RIGHT! I have my very own newspaper column ‘Ecokitchen‘ for none other than The Washington Post!!! Never would I have imagined this day would come – to be honest, I didn’t think it was in the cards for me! Majority of journalists are so accomplished and well-versed in their areas of expertise …
