The Indian masala omelete meets the soft fluffy goodness of the Frittata and a spice lovers Masala frittata comes to life. If you have always wanted to get started on Indian cooking, I would recommend this dish to start with. The spices used are few and mostly available in a regular grocery store if you don’t already have them. Frittata is cooked on a gentle heat; all the ingredients are mixed in and the eggs are beaten to incorporate more air. So not quite your everyday omelet but not much different either. And since a typical Frittata uses quite …
Roasted Broccoli Omelete
Dear Broccoli , I apologize for not standing up for you all these years. Even though I loved and respected you, I did nothing to create an opportunity for my ‘peeps’ to like you. When they refused to let you play on their plate with the rest of their food, I always gave in way too quickly and said it was ok. I am sorry for not doing more. I used to give in so we could navigate through a meal quickly and without fuss, especially with little Miss S and Mister Hubby. I did try telling them how good …

I love my breakfast of omelets, chai and some fresh fruits. I really can eat unlimited quantities of eggs in any form. But I love them the most as omelets. So when I had some leftover sprouts after making the spectacular brown rice and unlimited soups and salads, I used them up in an omelet. What better way to make me feel good about eating right than greens and sprouts and a wee bit of goat cheese and olive oil! The process of making this nutritious and delicious omelet – Beat eggs with a pinch of salt – 2 or …
Rava & Corn Upma
M S Subbulakshmi’s soulful voice, the aroma of the brewing coffee, the sizzle of the curry leaves and the pitter patter of rain drops! This was the scene, a very long time ago when I had my first bite of Rava Upma. Some memories, like this one, are etched in your heart for ever. Being a Kashmiri, I had never had Upma before this day. We traditionally use Rava or Sooji to make a sweet dish called halva. And since we are not too much into sweets as well, we usually make halva as a prasad. This was …
