My first destination on the late Saturday morning was Commercial street in downtown Bangalore; it took more than an hour to reach there from Sarjapur side, the notorious Bangalore traffic is back in full josh. I was dropping off a few fabrics with the tailor, I had earlier bought a few Orissa Ikat printed fabrics…

Baked Caramel Custard pudding (Baking with the 52 RCSS Morphy Richards OTG) 🥣
Afternoons can be spent taking a nap or making desserts. I so much prefer to sleep, but occasionally sacrifice sleep for something sweet 🍰. An easy to make dessert is the caramel custard pudding; there are many versions of this abound, the no bake type, no egg type; but I prefer the baked version with…
Mango tango…👯🥭
It isn’t full fledged mango season yet; the harbingers, the push carts on the roadsides are still piled high with the sweetest seedless green grapes😋. Mangoes however have started making appearances in the supermarkets and yes…we bought some, it’s been a year long wait ! So what are we eating ? There are a large…
Sly Granny: A medley of flavours 🍝🧆
1 Apr, Friday afternoon and we were off to downtown Bangalore for lunch. The traffic is back in full josh on Bangalore roads. The outer ring road in Bangalore has metro work going on and this has taken up one lane on the road; another lane was demarcated as an exclusive bus lane, thus leaving…
Orange Cake (Baking with the 52 RCSS Morphy Richards OTG)🧡🍰
Everyone has a few tried, tested and by hearted recipes for the popular and fav dishes like the biryani, pulao, chicken roast, fish molee, cutlets, cookies, cake, puffs and so on. Such failsafe recipes always save the day esp. when cooking for guests and you want to put up an effortless but delicious meal (which…
Matar Pulao (Green Peas Pulao) 🍚
An easy way to know what veg/fruit is in season is to see what’s piled up on the pushcarts selling along the roadsides. Green peas are in season💚; but yes, you can buy the frozen ones throughout the year, but while the fresh alternative is easily available, make the most of it ! The little…
A scrumptious homecoming 🍩
We were on a flying visit to Kerala; returning just two days later. Most of the holidayers would be returning to Bangalore after the new year, probably on 2 Jan, Sunday; that day the Arrival terminal and the airport cabs will be stretched with the incoming. We had a similar experience two years ago. Departures…
Plantain Fritters (Ethakka Appam)…a taste of home 😘
I make no evening snacks at home in Bangalore, cooking three meals a day itself is never ending work for me. At tea time, we make do with biscuits or cake or even bread with peanut butter or jam, or some other bakery bought stuff and maybe even Maggie noodles but never actually attempted to…
Sweet treats & a few favourites for the new year 📝🍩
Two weeks down and two more to go, December is moving fast. One year end ritual is the visit to Sapna Book House, a sprawling bookshop/stationery shop in Indiranagar. From Sarjapur where we stay, we drive along the outer ring road, then onto 80 ft road of Koramangala and finally the 100 ft road of…
A glorious sunday brunch @Lavonne
It’s been a while since our last visit to Church Street and this cloudy Sunday seemed apt for a revisit. I had made a list of the books I wanted to read; deliberately avoided ordering them from Amazon just so that I have an excuse to go and browse at the bookstore😌 And so Blossom…
Silver Pomfret fry with a tangy fresh coriander marinade 🌿
White Avoli is what we call the fish in Kerala; there is also the black variety. Pomfret is the English name; it’s also known by names such as Paplet or Pamplet in Goa and Mumbai and Vavval in Tamil Nadu. It’s a tasty fish without the characteristic fishy smell. Unlike most other big fishes, the…
Savoury Soya: Two tasty dishes 🥘
Nano or baby soya chunks look cute and they can be used to make tasty dishes. It makes sense to buy an ingredient only if you can cook it at least in two ways; else they will remain in the cupboards, forgotten till expiry. The two major benefits of cooking with soya are, one, they…
A City Getaway: ITC Gardenia 🎋
The newspapers claim this to be the wettest October in Bangalore so far☔️. The rains seem to be unpredictable, many areas in Bangalore have become waterlogged and IMD declared yellow alert in the city and it’s outskirts for a few days. But this is in the midst of the annual Puja holidays; we were really…
Nando’s @ Bangalore 🌶
Nando’s flame grilled peri-peri chicken 🍗…😋 Weekend is a time we try to venture out of the house and this weekend some shopping was also on cards. A visit to the mall sounded perfect and Phoenix Market City is one of our favourites. The mall this weekend was teeming with shoppers, schools are closed and…
Hard Rock Cafe Bangalore
Located in the heart of the city and surrounded by the flowing stream of non-stop Bangalore traffic; but once you step inside this charming edifice, you get transported to another world ! What hits you first is the live & loud music courtesy the band called the Wicked Mixture; they were fabulous 🎸🎹🎶🎵 !! The…
September, so far…🗓
The month is almost half done and this Monday, we are recovering from the lethargy of a long weekend. Friday was a festival holiday, Ganesh Chaturthi, followed by the weekend. This weekend we ventured to a new restaurant housed inside the 1MG Mall; more on that in a separate post. September was the due date…
Sambar secrets 🍅
It’s the end of the week and one of the unpleasant tasks in the To Do list of food prep for the next week is grating coconuts 🥥. Laborious process, but inescapable as we use coconut in practically all the dishes. And this is where Sambar scores, it’s a gravy dish that does not require…
Royal Challengers Bar & Cafe: More than a hat trick 🥂
Live music, fabulous food, relaxing ambience – that’s a hat trick for this sports themed restaurant and combine it with prompt and friendly service, edgy drinks, this restaurant is superb !! Sunday afternoon and we were at Church Street trying to zero in on a place to eat. The two major attractions of Church Street…
Cravings for cold cloudy days…🎐
It’s been a few days since we have seen the sun; the sky is an undulating cover of white and grey with occasional rain and cold breeze. Hailing from Kerala where it’s sweltering hot, the weather in Bangalore is reminiscent of a hill station and it’s lovely 😘. The cloudy cold days prompt cravings for…
