Bialys | Chewy Rolls

Well Hi there! Did you know I’m obsessed with yeast baking? So is the rest of the food blog world, apparently. And I made Bialys AND it is amazing. Like – totally!

bialys bread

I’ve always been a bread fan. Adorer. Lover. To be able to make something as fantastic as Bialys is a blessing – I think! ;) Now, what is the big hullabaloo around bialys you ask? Well, it is only the best chewy bread in the whole wide world! And God has given me a good set of teeth and I love to Chew – hence I love Bialys! Oh, this is quite off the topic. But I’m in LOVE with Instagram too! ;)

Coconut Sevai

Coconut Sevai

For those of you who grew up in a South Indian household (especially Tamilian), I don’t have to try too hard to sell the idea of Coconut Sevai. It is one of my very favorite ways to have South Indian Rice Noodles. In my previous post, I showed y’all how to make Rice noodles in the traditional South Indian way. It ain’t easy. But this is the only method that gives THE BEST Sevai ever! Once you have your Sevai, you’ve got to flavor it. Coconut Sevai happens to be the most common Sevai preparation.

Making Sevai | South Indian Rice Noodles

Sevai - the Rice Noodles!

I’m basically a nice person.

I love to share food.

But there are a few dishes that bring out the “selfish” in me and Sevai (or Idiyappam) is definitely is one of them. :D

Stuffed Veggie Pizza Bites

Stuffed Veggie Pizza Bites.

It’s totally a thing.

Maybe a thing I “vegetarianized“. But still – it’s a thing I’m totally down with.

Tawa Pulao

A one pot meal. Say what? Yes. A one pot meal. Again. And again. And again.

Only cuz I’m good at ‘em. And I love ‘em. And I make ‘em all the time. Like seriously – ALL THE TIME.

Living in India is awesome. Maybe I’m saying that coz I’ve never left my nest. But seriously, I love that I could end up in any corner of the country and still be able to get my staple food – Rice. Basmati Rice!

No bake Nutella Cheesecake

A while ago, I received a request from a reader for an eggless cheesecake recipe. While my search for the traditional baked cheesecake without eggs is still on, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t enjoy a no bake version of it now, heh? :-)

Plus it’s summer here and my enthusiasm for baking is definitely hit a new low. However, I do love whipping cold treats such as these.

I bought a tub of Nutella to make a proper round 8 inch cheesecake. But a day later, when I actually got to making the recipe, I was left with about quarter of the tub, which surely wasn’t enough to fill a whole 8 inch pan! So this is kind of a deconstructed version of the cheesecake idea I originally had in mind.

Potato Gnocchi

So, here’s the deal – I’m now a Pasta lover.

I became a convert when I had good hand made ravioli at a gourmet restaurant a couple of months back.

The uncontrollable need to mimic the chef’s Pasta brought me here. To make my very own Gnocchi!

Puliyodharai (Tamarind Rice)

Hope y’all had time to see my previous post. Actually, you MUST see that post before you want to make this one. Coz that is the base with which we make Tamarind Rice.
