The Importance of Mental Health

October 31, 2017

Today I’m going to talk about mental health. Mental health is important, just like physical health. If you fall down and hurt yourself, you get treated for your injuries, and in time they get healed. But when it comes to mental health, why not take same steps? Why do we dismiss it so easily? We …

Paneer Burji

October 24, 2017

I don’t remember when I started to hate Paneer, but I don’t really like it that much. When I was pregnant with Arlo, I cried so much because I hated eating it every single day for a meal. VJ would hug me and tell me a few more weeks. I think that’s one thing I …

Let’s Save The World

October 23, 2017

I have been trying to go green for the past few weeks and I’ve been failing miserably. I want to stop using diapers for Arlo and try to use cloth ones. I want to stop using so many plastic bags and plastic in general in my daily life. I want to stop using electricity so …

Vankaya Kothimeera (Brinjal Coriander) Pachadi

October 18, 2017

I still remember the smell of fresh tiragamata (talimpu) of a pachadi being made at home. The potent vapors that the dried red chili release when being shallow fried in oil giving you the sneezes is one of the best memories of my childhood. We never have food without having a pickle. When I came to the …

Bean Soup

October 11, 2017

I must have mentioned in one of my posts about how we have been trying to eat healthy to lose weight. I know that just cutting out rice doesn’t result in weight loss and that we should actually exercise. But, with Arlo being my full-time job now, I haven’t had a bit time to go …

For the End of Misogyny

According to Google Misogyny is defined as spelled: mɪˈsɒdʒ(ə)ni noun dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women. “she felt she was struggling against thinly disguised misogyny” mid 17th century: from Greek misos ‘hatred’ + gunē ‘woman’. It refers to simple hatred of woman. It has been prevalent from …

Gongura Pulusukoora

October 7, 2017

During our childhood during the months of February when the fresh gongura (Red Sorrel) arrived fresh in the Rythu Bazaar (Farmers Market), my mom would make utta pappu or mudda pappu (plain dal) and gongura puluskoora. It was my absolute favorite and still is, because no one else knows about this dish. This was specially reserved for …

Pros and Cons of Marrying your BFF

October 3, 2017

I’m not sure how many of you know this, but I married my best friend. He’s been my best friend FOREVER now! I met him in 2007 when I visited their house with my uncle. And all I could see was him, and because of his immense brightness, everything else faded out of my view. …

Instant Oats Uttapam

October 1, 2017

So we have been trying to eat healthy for some time now. I hadn’t realized how hard it is to eat healthily. First, you have to buy all the groceries and that costs a ton! And second, though a salad is simple to make, the chopping takes up all the time! And third, when you …

Tomato Corn Rice

September 24, 2017

I don’t like tomato that much. If you have read my Tomato Bath recipe, then you do know it. But, this rice is my favorite because of the corn. I absolutely love corn. I wait for the summer so that we can go to the Farmers Market in Downtown only to buy corn. I …
