If you’ve tasted butter chicken, you have eaten fenugreek leaves. The flavour is warm, slightly bitter and immediately transports you to the villages of India. This warm potato salad with turmeric and fenugreek leaves is my secret weapon. The flavours are perfect for chilly days when I yearn for Indian food but don’t feel like…

I hear it all the time. My mom said it, every health guru says it, there’s even a hashtag or millions devoted to it.   I say it to my kids every day – sometimes three times a day. Eat your veggies. Your body needs 5-8 portions of fruits and vegetables a day. But did…

I have two school-going kids who remain mostly healthy. I say “mostly” because for many months in the year between school and after-school programs they are immersed in an unavoidable cesspool of germs.

This was a tough period in India’s history and the after-effects of the wars lingered for years. Families continued to live frugally with the memory of doing without still…

Like everything else, festivals are also big and colourful in India. With at least 4 religions of significance, it often feels like there’s a celebration every month. I love how people of different religions come together at festival time to celebrate each other’s traditions, and food is always a big part of that celebration.  Culture,…

Curry invariably gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. And even though there are thousands of variations of this one dish across Asia and Africa, it brings the flavour every time. Korma or vindaloo, Thai or Panang, I have yet to try a curry that I did not like. My favourites though are the recipes…
