Lemon-Turmeric Noodles

Continuing my experiments with noodle broth, I thought of making something with a turmeric base, since I am a big fan. I thought the taste lemon would combine well with turmeric and so tried making a lemon and turmeric based broth, by adding both the extra ingredients to our basic vegetable broth. This is another…More

Vegetable Noodles

I am experimenting with making broth and how to make some different flavors of broth for noodles. I have started with a simple base, without any broth, but lots of veggies and some mushroom instead. Cooking them first with oil and then adding water to the same generates some additional flavours that you might not…More

Banana and Papaya Smoothie

I am not a big fan of Papayas. Yes, I know they are nutritious, but I had the bad luck of having to eat them almost everyday during my stay with a relative during my student days and have been tired of them since. So, when my mom brought out a large Papaya the other…More

Banana Earl Grey Tea Cake

Mushroom Lemon Herb Pasta

I’ve been trying to experiment with the sauces used for Pasta. I am basically trying variations of the well-known bases, as a way to start. Replacing an ingredient here, adding one there. And just like that, I arrived at this one here. The base for this sauce is the simple mushroom garlic sauce, which is…More

Chickoo Milkshake

Chickoo is one of the fruits that I have mixed feelings about. I love the sweetness, the texture of the fruit, but not the stickiness that sometimes comes with it. Not to mention the times when the fruit looks absolutely normal, but tastes absolutely gwaah!! This time we ended buying too many chickoos. Of course,…More
