Food & Memories of Mangalore
Chatpate Aloo is spicy & tangy baby potatoes, you may call it Achari Aloo too if you wish as the recipe calls for an Indian pickle to form the base of this dish. The fun fact about this recipe is that you can change the way it tastes by changing the type of the main…

The Boshi series is back!! Hello folks! On public demand (really, I’m not kidding), I have decided to restart the boshi series on the website. I have been religiously posting pictures of my daily meals on Instagram and have started a hashtag #boshiseries so if you are on Insta, please don’t forget to follow me and the hashtag there!! However, for the benefit of those who are not on Instagram, I have decided to share consolidated pictures in batches of 7 that will have you covered for an entire week! I will be sharing these ideas every Sunday and the meal ideas should tide you through from Monday to the following Sunday. For the benefit of all my readers who are on a restricted diet during Lent, I will be sharing a mix of veg, seafood & egg based platters….
Lent is a solemn religious observance for Christians, a period that lasts approximately 6 weeks between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. During this period one is urged to give up vices or temptations of any kind. Most Christians go on a pure vegetarian diet (one that includes no meat, fish or eggs) or a semi vegetarian diet (one that includes fish, seafood & eggs) I have tried to compile a list of almost all vegetarian recipes on my blog that cover a wide range of categories like breakfast, snacks, soups, salads, starters, mains & sides that will help you plan your menu this Lent. This compilation pretty much sums up the veg recipes on my blog excluding sweets, desserts and festive foods as Lent is a time of penance and self denial. If I find that I have missed some…
Mixed Greens Pulao! One of the tastiest pulaos I’ve ever made! You know I am so fascinated by leafy greens that I try to incorporate them into our daily meals. Apart from the abundance of greens that I frequently add to my no-carb breakfasts, I like to introduce them to my kids in various ways. Sometimes I add them to chapati dough or dals and sometimes I throw some into cutlet mixtures and such. I plan to feed greens to my kids – by hook or crook! Today’s recipe is just one of the ways in which I add them to our daily diet. I came up with this recipe while trying to use up random leafy greens that were lying around in my fridge. I had a bit of everything – some methi (fenugreek) leaves, some palak (spinach), drumstick…
Hello folks! Here I am with my first post for 2021. Hope this year has been kind to you so far. I’ve been super busy with a few things at home and just could not come out of the holiday mood in order to get back to blogging 🙂 So since this is my first post of the year I’ll keep my narration short and dive straight into the recipe for today. So this simple dish used to be my favourite as a child. My mum used to either make pepper style okra or ivy gourd (tendli) and I used to enjoy my meals with them. Okra remains to be my favourite and love to experiment with all kinds of recipes. This particular one is super simple as it uses just a few basic ingredients that you will find in…
