When Cultures Combine
I am a Christian married to an Iyer and apart from our different backgrounds, just in terms of food culture, we had our work cut out for us. But somehow, these differences combined in beautiful ways to make our union a runaway success.
The Nuances of Bihari Cooking
Here’s a list of some of our favourite Bihari recipes and a recipe for a very simple Okra dish, Bhindi Bhujia, crisp and delicious.
10 Minute Kerala Style Vegetable Stew
After a week of revelry and eating out, we were in need of a home cooked meal. And while we wanted it to be light, we still needed it to be flavourful and fulfilling. And when the idea of a Kerala Vegetable Stew sprang into our minds, it seemed just perfect.
Gur Tamatar ki mithi chutney
Some tomatoes, some palm jaggery, a pop of paanch phoron and lots of nostalgia makes for a delicious gur tamatar chutney
Sarsonwali Bhindi
Sarson ( Mustard) is an indispensable part of Bihari cooking. As a ground paste ( soaked for some time to cut the bitterness) it adds that amazing kick that can lift any dish from great to sublime.
Onam from a North Indian Daughter-in-law’s Eyes
The Onam Sadhya seems like a representation of life on a Banana leaf, filled with different textures and flavours - sweet, salty, sour, bitter - all in one meal. Sadhya means feast in Malayalam and it literally is!
Pitter-Patter and Mish-Mash (Khichuri, Beguni and Chatni)
You haven’t really lived your monsoon until you have had khichuri, tele bhaja and chatni. A perfect balance of rice and pulses and salt, sugar and spices, Khichuri is an instant mood lifter.
Bengali Aloor Dum
The Bengali Aloor Dum is not just differently pronounced but it is a whole world away in terms of taste. Baby potatoes cooked to a perfect bite in a rich, thick base that is fragrant with whole and ground spices. We cleaned up every surface this delicious dish touched.
