My thoughts as a Cook

I love to cook. As long as there is a change in the food , I can make something new every day. But ask me to make the same food every day , I'm bored as hell. Except for a good coffee of course, (I'm always ready to make it).


So, I don't have a sweet tooth, I make sweets though. My favorites these days have been the various cuisine with the same ingredients. I downloaded the Khana Khazana book with various cuisines.

With my husband around, I need to make good food that is healthier, yet tastier, and non-repetitive with the same ingredients but a variety every day.

Be it soups, be it salads, be it paruppu sadam or be it pindi miriyam. It must be ' BP -Free' ,'Cholestrol - Free ' and ' Diabetic - Free ', 'Less - Carb' (You know what I mean).

So these days, When i go to a store to pick up something  I started reading recipes behind the ingredients pack, and started making them. So the latest discovery in that has been the Vermicelli Pulao .

We don't eat rice, we cannot eat only the vegetables , so we need some base to  eat the vegetables with  and there are lot of constraints. My mom went crazy when she was here, She was like how do i invent what to make day in and day out. 

Thanks to the web, I don't have such problems. With my son growing, I wonder what his taste buds would demand. 

I'm happy with the challenges i face for making food every day :).

Thoughts on new recipes , new cuisines with all conditions met are welcome :)
