Over the years, in my family, a roast chicken (or two) has become a staple at our family gatherings. There’s something so familiar and comforting about it. Now that we’ve moved to a different country, I still find myself longing for those gatherings or maybe, just maybe, what I’m really longing for is a good…
Homemade Nectarine Jam
I made jam at home. And not just any jam, I made some delicious Nectarine Jam. I’ve been holding back on ya! Not intentionally of course, but I just haven’t gotten around to sharing this information with you – Paddy’s Market at Flemington rocks!!! I’ve only been there a couple of times now, but I…
Where can I find Sour Cream in Mumbai???
Even though I’m not in Mumbai any more, I know there must be atleast a few other cooks and bakers like me, who found amazing recipes online, only to find that they needed sour cream to make it. “What’s the big deal?”, you ask. Well the deal is you can’t find Sour Cream in Mumbai….
Dill Potatoes
Ok, today’s post features my favorite vegetable. Yup, you heard me. My favorite vegetable is the humble potato. I can eat it in any form – baked, fried, mashed, roasted, any which way. I usually have potatoes in the house, for me they are a pantry staple. I rely on potatoes for those days just…

They aren’t easily available in Mumbai but I’d had it as a side dish at a couple of restaurants and every single…
Week 4 of 12 Weeks of Christmas Treats: Chocolate Covered Pretzels
If you’ve seen a lot of my posts on 12WOCT in the past couple of years, you will have noticed that a lot of the traditional Goan Christmas sweets are very time consuming and labor intensive. Needless to say, the end results are absolutely delicious. But sometimes, you just don’t have the time or there’s…
Two Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
Over the last few weeks, I’ve found myself craving for some chocolate cake. Now I could very easily just pop over to one of the shops not far from where I live and pick one up. Believe me, there is no shortage of cake shops and cafes in Sydney city. But all of these are…
Week 3 of 12 Weeks of Christmas Treats: Coconut Ladoos aka Coconut Snowballs
At the start of this years edition of 12 WOCT I said I would bring you recipes that were quick and easy to put together at home. Todays treat definitely fits the bill. It is quick and easy to prepare and so very delicious (ofcourse, I’m biased towards coconut). Nevertheless, these dainty treats will sure…
