I made this instant dosa on Friday night. This is perfect for when you are out of ideas or when you do not feel like cooking an entire meal. Ingredients: Rava (Sooji) – 2 cups Maida (All purpose flour) – 3/4 cup Rice flour – 1/4 cup Wheat flour – 1/2 cup Raagi flour –…
A very relaxing day
Today I decided to take it easy. I did not make a work plan for today nor did I work on anything useful. It was very relaxing. Just regular stuff like cooking, cleaning, laundry etc.. I got a jump start at the pile of laundry which usually sits in our laundry room until Saturday morning….
Jeera Rice with carrots and peas
I face a challenge everyday in giving lunch for my husband. He needs something that he can eat quickly between meetings. Rice is my main option. I try to make something which is easy to cook in the morning and easy enough to pack for lunch. So, today I made Jeera (cumin) Rice and chole….
My day until now

Healthy Food
Before my son was born, I heard various tips and stories about many things related to kids. One main topic was food. Some of my Indian friends and cousins who had kids here told me that once the kids start going to school or daycare, they just don’t eat our Indian food anymore. I so…
How weather affects our lives..
I have been checking the weather regularly for the last four days. It said it is going to be sunny and 390 today. I was so happy that finally the temperatures are warming up. Every year the lake Mendota and Lake Monona freeze in winter and we always go and walk on the lake. So,…
