Spicy Minced Meat (Keema)
2008-02-02 11:46:00 This is a spicy, juicy and tangy dish that can be used to stuff your samosas, filo pastry / puff pastry parcels, sandwiches or simply eaten with hot rotis/naans. My brother dropped in last night and sleepily expressed a desire this morning, to eat a stuffed omelette. Now, stuffed omelettes are quite passè for me, considering ...

I signed up for PPP
2008-02-01 05:59:00 Hello All, I?ve been wondering for a while about how I can get my blog to pay for itself.

Colocassia (Arbi) and Chicken Curry
2008-01-31 06:01:00 This is a wonderfully spicy, yet not hot, tangy and delicious curry. While I wouldn’t call it simple to make, it ain’t tough either.

Republic Day Eggs
2008-01-27 15:25:00 Funny name for eggs, I know. Thing is, firstly, I made them on [a day after actually] Republic Day. Secondly, and this is stretching it a bit, these eggs are free from the traditional bondage/dominion of buttered toast. If you believed that, good! If you didn’t, actually, I couldn’t think of any other name for ... More About: Eggs , Dinner , Lunch , Sauces , French food
Kufri or Bust
2008-01-25 13:31:00 Every year around this time, the 25th of January, we make a tribute to immature boyhood - an all boys trip to somewhere, without really accomplishing anything.

Food and Online Commerce
2008-01-25 08:08:00 I’m not sure how everyone feels, however, I believe one of the nicest things that can happen to amateur enthusiasts (cooking, photography, writing…) is to get paid for what they do. The amount doesn’t matter - just the fact that someone is willing to pay for what was done out of pure interest is good ... More About: Reviews , Food , Online , Commerce , Posts

Review: Bembos, Great India Place, NOIDA
2008-01-23 16:05:00 Assisting a friend with picking up a digital camera, we landed up at Bembos for lunch. What caught my attention was the tag line ‘South American Burger Grill’.

Tender, Tender Chicken for Soups
2008-01-21 13:01:00 Ever eaten chicken soup in a restaurant and wondered how they get the boneless chicken in it to be so tender? I mean, chicken on the bone is usually quite alright, but boneless chicken is typically the breast, which is very lean and therefore, not as tender as say, the leg. Try this. Slice the boneless ...

Review: Udupi Cafe, ITO, Delhi
More articles from this author:2008-01-13 18:55:00 I love little eating joints, especially so if they’re tucked away discreetly - like the Udupi Cafe . Saw the place while driving by, thought a nice hot dosa with some filter coffee would be nice that afternoon. The dosa was cold, the chutney corrupted and the sambar wasn’t sambar.
