Every time I flip through a cookbook, I would be greeted with a number of Asian recipes. Thai green curry in Gordon's book, Indian butter chicken from Nigella, chicken chow mein courtesy of Jamie Oliver, satay from Donna hay and Indonesian ginger chicken made by Ina Garten. The list just goes on and on. This shows that Asian cuisine has…
Half of the family members are currently away for a week. Initially I thought, this would be the best time for me to cook all the food that I want to blog about, without giving a thought as to what others may not eat. Reality was far from what I thought.

I was thinking of a "fancier" title for this post Super delicious chicken curry. Curry in a hurry, not! Dazzling chicken curry. Everyone loves this chicken curry. Chicken Curry, the queen of hearts.

I love the vast festivals that we get to celebrate and the cultures/practices that we get to observe. Many a times, despite not being in the same ethnic group, we get to celebrate different festivals as friends would usually invite…

A friend was saying, "I didn't see any Skinny Recipe on your blog yesterday." I don't know as to whether I should be sorry that I could not write a Skinny Mondays blog post or should I be glad that someone actually noticed. I didn't get to update the blog as I spent 4 days at my second brother's house.…
Growing up, dessert wasn't something we ate very often. In fact, we rarely ate out back then. When my late dad was still around, eating out every weekend was a norm though.
