Indira’s Favorite(at the moment) Salad

Posted in Salads, tagged , , , on October 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

This is so pretty with the red,white, orange and green, I like to make it as much for the visual treat as for the taste of the bell pepper and feta cheese !
The same day, some weeks ago, that we had the delicious steamed fish at Celine’s home, her mother Doris also made a green [...]

Wheat berry Salad

This salad is excellent picnic food and I make it to take with us sometimes when we go out for the day.  But I do make it quite often otherwise too. Shri likes to take it for lunch so this is what the girls and I had for lunch too, yesterday, with the steamed trout.

One might even call this salad tabbouleh, as many cooks and supermarkets do.
However, I made the mistake a long time ago, of ordering tabbouleh for Indira – when she was very little, about 3, and first started to enjoy store-bought “tabbouleh” – at a Greek/Armenian restaurant called Le Varouj in Grasse.  And found that what [...]

Honey and Nutmeg-flavored Chicken Tikkas

I have been thinking for a while that I would like to extend the repertoire of starters I am able to cook, especially of the non-vegetarian kind. I have made the same mangoris, tikkis, and vadas too often now.
I also would love to introduce the girls, gradually, to other kinds of chicken and lamb-based preparations [...]

A quick lunch for two – Salmon Salad

It was just Noor and me at home yesterday for lunch. She loves baguette and we had picked up one from the boulangerie when we walked back home from school just before noon.
So I decided that I’d make some salad for lunch, to eat with the baguette, with fruit yoghurt to serve as dessert.

Pasta Salad with Pesto-Easy Dinner for a Summer Evening

It has been so hot this year – or may be I forget from one July to the next how bad it can get – that my usual enthusiasm/willingness to cook has deserted me more often these past few weeks than I can remember it happening before.
But the family has to be fed; so I [...]

Everyone’s Favorite Carrot Salad

When I say everyone, I mean EVERYONE. Not just the four of us, but pretty much anyone who has ever tasted this salad loves it.
I first found this recipe 8 years ago, when I invested in a book that has since become my cooking Bible -Kaumudi Marathe’s “A Family Treasury”, a great collection on Maharashtrian [...]
