Post image for My Progress Growing Herbs and Vegetables

While I was visiting home in Australia late last year, I decided that I’d take some seeds back to India with me to grow some of the rarer herbs and vegetables here. My mum has an abundant vegetable garden. So it can’t be all THAT difficult, I thought….

Post image for Growing Herbs and Vegetables in India

I’ve been gradually collecting things to take back with me to India, and this time one of them is packets of seeds. I’m going to try growing some of the herbs and vegetables that I often use in cooking but are difficult to find in India — sweet basil, Thai basil, garlic chives, and lettuce….

After all the negative publicity the Indian male has received lately, I’m happy to say that mine did something pleasantly surprising tonight. He cooked dinner. What really astonished me though, was that he made chapattis as well….

Indian Fish Curry Recipe

by Sharell on May 6, 2009

in Indian Recipes

This is a really easy Indian fish curry recipe. The curry is very light, with delicious tomato and cilantro (dhania) flavours. As with most of my Indian recipes, I got this one from my mother-in-law. What I love about this recipe, apart from the fact that it’s so simple and practically foolproof, is that it actually tastes like real Indian food (not food cooked by a firangi) when I make it…

How to Make Khichidi

by Sharell on April 14, 2009

in Indian Recipes

Last night I wanted a quick dinner so I made some khichidi (although, I’ve been told this khichidi is more like pulao!). Khichidi is a really easy but tasty Indian rice dish. What makes it so fabulous is that all the ingredients get combined and cooked together….

in Indian Recipes

I decided it’s about time that I learned how to make one of the essential components of an Indian meal — chapattis (Indian bread)! I’ll need a bit more practice, as there are quite a few things to get right, but I’m off to a good start….
